''Embedded Systems'' Publishes Promwad’s Article about OSEK Operating System
Embedded systems magazine publishedinitsthirdissuePromwad’s article about OSEK – operating system for automotive electronics. OSEK is primarily designed for application in applications for automotive electronics and at present moment supports major types of embedded microcontrollers. The creation of a highly intellectual car of the Future, connected to a computer network, requires building a standardized platform capable of managing all car equipment. Can OSEK help car manufacturers in building and introducing a standardized platform? You can find the answer to this question in the article by Eugene Dubovik, Promwad’s software engineer, - OSEK – operating system for automotive electronics.Embedded systems magazine publishes in its third issue Promwad’s article about OSEK – operating system for automotive electronics. OSEK is primarily designed for application in applications for automotive electronics and at present moment supports major types of embedded microcontrollers: HC08, HC12, 683XX, MCore, Motorola PowerPC. Metrowerks, an independent subsidiary office of Motorola, included Motorola’s OSEK operating system into its CodeWarrior debugging kit. OSEK operating system complies with the Automotive Open System Architecture (AutoSar) standards.
Nowadays there is a wide range of real time operating systems worldwide. Building a highly intellectual car of the Future, connected to a computer network, requires building a standardized platform, capable of managing all car equipment, from engine to multimedia system. This is quite an important task, because earlier software needed to control maximum five automotive devices, but today in some models of representative class the number of such devices can reach hundreds. Common operating system could save time for developers and decrease coding needs. Not the least of the benefits of introducing a unique standard for automotive software is that it could increase predictability and security of such system on the whole.
Can OSEK help car manufacturers in building and introducing a standardized platform? You can find the answer to this question in the article “OSEK – operating system for automotive electronics”.
Info about the magazine: Embedded systems magazine is intended for developers of electronic equipment, system integrators and also for suppliers of hardware and software modules applied in the ‘embedded’ world. The magazine offers information about modern technologies available on domestic and foreign markets – embedded equipment with wide application sphere, embedded software, etc.
The main advantage of the magazine is its full independence. The periodical is not biased by any company – this allows them to provide the most impartial market overview.
