A computer-implemented method for integrating at least one signal value into a virtual control unit. The virtual control unit is executed on a simulation platform by means of a personal computer and requires at least one input signal, wherein at least one signal value can be assigned to the input signal. A simulation function provides at least one first simulated signal value to the virtual control unit. The microcontroller abstraction layer has a software component for integrating the first simulated signal value and a second external signal value into a virtual control unit, wherein the second external signal value is provided by an external peripheral device. A user makes a selection for the input signal via a user interface as to whether the software component is to use the first simulated signal value or the second external signal value.

Computer-implemented method for integrating at least one signal value into a virtual control unit

A method for configuring a real or virtual electronic control unit, wherein a control unit software is executed on the control unit, and the control unit software comprises a basic software layer, the basic software layer is configured by a module configuration file by setting values of parameters, the scope of the configurable parameters being defined in a first module definition file which contains the identifiers of the configurable parameters. The first module definition file is replaced by a second module definition file, and a conversion of the first module configuration file into a second module configuration file takes place.

Method for configuring a real or virtual electronic control unit

A development device and a method for creating and testing a control unit program, whereby the preparation of an intervention point for manipulating a quantity of a runtime environment for testing a control unit program component in a test environment having a test scenario program component and an observation device for receiving output values and indicating the test result. An executable program containing all program components is created from one or more program components, including a control unit program component that is to be tested and a test scenario program component. The creation includes generation of a runtime environment, wherein the runtime environment provides a communication channel for transmitting input and output values between the program components, and wherein a component test service is provided that offers an interface to the runtime environment pursuant to the AUTOSAR standard as an intervention point for manipulating a quantity of the runtime environment.
