Braunschweig, Germany - 22nd May 2012. Symtavision, the global leader for timing design and timing verification for embedded real-time systems, has announced that it has been appointed as a Contributing Member of the ARTOP (AUTOSAR Tool Platform) User Group.
ARTOP is an Eclipse-based infrastructure platform implementation of common base functionality and core features for development tools that are used to design and configure AUTOSAR-compliant systems and ECUs. The aim of ARTOP is to improve the quality and interoperability of AUTOSAR development tools and help eliminate the time lag between the release of new versions of the AUTOSAR standard and the availability of development tools that support the new specifications. Development is organized by the Design Members of the ARTOP User Group, which includes BMW, Continental and Peugeot/Citroen, and implemented using a transparent, community-based approach by the group of ten Contributing Members including Symtavision. ARTOP, including its source code, is available free of charge to all AUTOSAR members and partners.
"Our appointment as a Contributing Member of the ARTOP User Group recognises both our leading role in the development of AUTOSAR-compliant systems and ECUs and emphasizes our commitment to designers by improving the common base for AUTOSAR development tools," said Dr. Kai Richter, CTO of Symtavision. "We have benefitted considerably from using ARTOP to minimize our development costs for non-competitive functionality and freeing development resources to concentrate on our competitive advantage. As a consequence, we have developed considerable functionality around ARTOP which we expect, as a Contributing Member, to integrate into future releases for the benefit of other tool developers."
