Embedded systems are often setups that combine a general purpose computer with a domain specific device, attached via a standard bus or network connection. In such setups, the main computer is usually monitoring and controlling the overall system functionality, essentially “steering” the specialized device.
Similar to the situation with airplanes, it is not always possible, and sometimes not even desired, to have the pilot train and/or test with the real thing. This talk is a case study around a joint project of Data Modul's and KDAB's, for which we built tooling that simulates the project’s CAN-Bus attached hardware.
What were the driving factors for having a simulator?
Which architecture and technologies were chosen for its implementation?
How does it hold up in practice?
Any lessons for future projects?
