Symtavision launched its revised system-level tool suite for planning, optimising and verifying embedded real-time systems.

SymTA/S 3.3 features timing analyses for FlexRay system distribution, CAN-FD, and buffer fill level analysis for COM and gateways, as well as enhanced Gantt chart customisation.

Support for FlexRay covers both static and dynamic segments, with the latter supporting cycle multiplexing for FlexRay 2.x frames. "With the addition of this capability, users are now able to analyse end-to-end scenarios from sensors to actuators that include communication via FlexRay," said the firm.

For CAN-FD analysis only a few scheduling-relevant parameters are required, including bus speed, which frame is being sped up and what payload is being transmitted via the frame. According to Symta: "Everything else is transparent to users as SymTA/S automatically handles other scheduling items such as the bits that are sped up, the correct CRC size - which varies according to the payload, and inserting stuff bits."

Other improvements are said to include a customisable wizard framework and improved drag-and-drop providing resolution of dependencies.

At the same time, it announced a 3.3 version of TraceAnalyzer tool for visualising and analysing timing data from measurements and simulations.

"The new analyses and improved design features address the market trend for timing-aware system design, as well as specific requirements of our customers in the automotive, aerospace and industrial automation markets,” said company CEO Dr Marek Jersak.
