RTPRO-PC Experimental System

Note
Since V6.4.6, ASCET‑RP supports only the ES900 hardware system. Projects with an ES1000 hardware configuration cannot be used. To work with RTPRO-PC hardware configurations, you have to use an external INTECRIO V4.7.2 or older as hardware configurator (see Selecting an External Hardware Configurator).

RTPRO-PC allows the real-time execution of prototyping models on an off-the shelf notebook. After installation of RTPRO-PC, the system can still be used as a standard Windows®-only computer, but it has got a second boot option to work as a combined Windows / prototyping (= real-time) computer.

On the Windows node of the combined mode, standard Windows applications can be used with slightly less performance than in Windows-only mode.

The real-time node is supported as standard ETAS experimental target with the following features:

The RTPRO-PC target is configured and built in ASCET‑MD V6.3 or higher, ASCET‑RP V6.1.3 and higher or INTECRIO V4.1 and higher.
Experiments can be performed using the ASCET experiment environment, the INTECRIO experiment environment, or INCA with INCA-EIP V7.0.1 and higher.
An internal switch on the real-time node allows ECU access via RTPRO-PC from INCA.
Up to four CAN interfaces (via two ES581.3) can be added. Each CAN interface supports either XCP on CAN or CAN I/O.
One Ethernet controller is supported. This can be used for XCP bypass on UDP and XETK. The ethernet controller supports up to four XCP on UDP interfaces.

The two nodes communicate via a virtual network.

To use the RTPRO-PC experimental system with ASCET, you need a notebook with ASCET and RRTPRO-PC installations. In addition, you need an USB stick to serve as persistent memory and to store the license file and the NVRAM of the experimental system.
