Method for generating a technical system model, executable on a test unit, and the test unit

A method for generating a technical system model executable on a test unit, the test unit and the executable model adapted for real-time-capable testing of a control unit connectable to the test unit, the executable model being formed of a plurality of executable submodels communicating with each other, each executable submodel has a separate address space and/or is executed on a separate processor or separate processor core when a test of a control unit connected to the test unit is being run, the method comprising:

• identifying communication characteristics of a particular executable submodel for each of the plurality of executable submodels;
• accessing communication definitions for the communication between the executable submodels;
• configuring communication interfaces of the plurality of executable submodels based on the communication characteristics of the executable submodels and the communication definitions for the communication between the executable submodels;
• and
• establishing at least one real-time-capable communication link between the executable submodels based on the communication characteristics of the executable submodels and the communication definitions for the communication between the executable submodels,
• wherein the configuring of the communication interfaces and the establishing the at least one real-time-capable communication link are performed at runtime of a test of the control unit connected to the test unit during an initialization phase of the test of a control unit connected to the test unit.

A method for generating a technical system model executable on a test unit, the test unit and the executable model being designed for real-time-capable control of a device connected to the test unit, and the executable model being constructed from a plurality of executable submodels communicating with each other, wherein each executable submodel has a separate address space and/or is executed on a separate processor or separate processor core when a unit connected to the test unit is controlled, the method comprising:

• compiling the plurality of executable submodels of the executable model from high-level-language submodels;
• identifying communication characteristics of the particular executable submodel for each of the plurality of executable submodels;
• accessing communication definitions for the communication between the executable submodels;
• configuring communication interfaces of the plurality of executable submodels based on the communication characteristics of the executable submodels and the communication definitions for the communication between the executable submodels;
• and
• establishing at least one real-time-capable communication link between the executable submodels based on the communication characteristics of the executable submodels and the communication definitions for the communication between the executable submodels.
