Hi,

Usually, I'm using several tasks to manage different processes at the same time. I now want to get a similar structure in an eTrice model, but I have no idea how to do that. I guess I have to change modellib to support the scheduling issues. But how to I tell eTrice to start a state machine in a different task?

Is there anybody who has already worked with different tasks in eTrice?

BTW, I'm using Keil Real Time Library.

thanks,
Stefan Rolling Eyes

Hi Stefan,

currently we only support single threaded systems.
But we are working on a solution for multi-threading.

We already created a physical and a mapping model to support deployment.
We also have implemented code generation and a first solution for MinGW under Windows.
But it will probably take another 2 or 3 month until the solution will be ready to use.
But even then it would require to do a (presumably simple) port to the concrete hardware and compiler.

Kind regards,
Henrik

Hi Stefan,
here some more detailed information about the new physical and mapping models:
We are developing these new features currently at the branch CGenPhysical (http://git.eclipse.org/c/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git/log/?h=CGenPhysical).

Features:
- new API for C runtime (posix like) for simpler portability and support for multi- and single threading (e.g. without operating system) with the same API
- PhysicalModel to model a System with nodes and threads, a LogicalSystem (ROOM model) can be deployed to
- MappingModel that maps elements of the logical to elements physical model
LogicalModel -> PhysicalModel
SubSystem -> Node
LogicalThread (with its actors) -> PhysicalThread
- code generator for C to do all the mapping

Current Status:
- working prototype of most features above
- no datadriven actors yet (only eventdriven)
- not enough tests

Stefan: How is your schedule? When do you need those features?

... here the reference models we use to develop the features:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git/tree/examples/org.eclipse.etrice.generator.c.reference/model?h=CGenPhysical
ROOM Model: cGenRef.room
PhysicalModel: cGenRef.etphys
MappingModel: cGenRef.etmap

Hi,

thank you for your help. In the moment I am in evaluation phase, that means I'm trying a few tools to see which one meets our requirements.
