Eclipse OpenXilEnv

Eclipse OpenXilEnv is a lightweight SIL/HIL environment that allows running embedded software functions on a PC without a target platform and compiler.

Eclipse OpenXilEnv will provide a configurable graphical user interface and an API for automation.

Use case scenarios:

• Software in the Loop
• Model in the Loop
• Open Loop
• Hardware in the Loop
• Module tests
• Network tests
• Complete digital twin test
• Manual tests
• Automated tests
• Rapid prototyping
• Offline calibration

Some highlights are:

• Easy integration of the code under test
• Clean separation in own executables (memory protection) Communication over a network layer
• Platform independent (Windows/Linux)
• User interface (Qt) with a lot of display items (text, oscilloscope, tacho, ...),  items for manual intervention (text, slider, knob, ...)  and calibration items for single, curve and map parameters
• Tree view of all static parameter and variables (debug information)
• Can be extensively automated with a remote procedure call interface (Python) or a build-in script interpreter
• GUI less variant exist for automation (Headless Variant)
• Parallel execution (multi core) of test code 
• Support of FMUs with FMI2.0 interface (64 and 32 bit)
• Residual bus simulation of non-existing CAN (FD) bus members
• Recording and replay in stimulation is possible with text or MDF3 files
• Debug information parser (dwarf)
•  A small A2L parser is included for calibration.A XCP over ethernet port to connect a calibration system
•  Parallel execution (multi core) support with barriers for synchronisation.

OpenXilEnv was developed and maintained at ZF for the last 25 years and used in numerous projects.
