Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping (RP) is a powerful technique that allows developers to test new or modified software functions on a real Electronic Control Unit (ECU) without the need to reprogramming (flash) the ECU's memory for every change. The M-ETK facilitates this process by using an "external bypass" method in conjunction with dedicated ETAS prototyping hardware (i.e. ES910/ES830) and software (i.e., INTECRIO). The M-ETK's external bypass solution provides a robust framework for rapid prototyping by ensuring that critical tasks are prioritized, and that the overall latency of the bypass loop is low and predictable, making it suitable for even the most time-sensitive automotive applications.
