Scheduling: hardware comes late, critical path

Cost and schedule pressures drive MCU changes
MCU idiosyncrasies and asymmetries
Migration from app note to application
Migration from EVB to PCB
Integrating driver layer with application
Not a value-added activity
Small changes can have large implications

Model-Based Development: e.g.

Write digital outputs,
PWM freq and dc,
Change spark/fuel
timing, etc

Read sensors, etc

This model is an entire engine

controller. No hand code! It
builds to a binary which can
be flashed onto the controller.

Control Strategy inside.

This is the same
strategy that you
simulate with Enginuity.

Model-Based Development: e.g.

Filtering, conversion,
and conditioning is
easy! Read count
values and then just
convert them to
whatever units you
need.
