Abstract:
A method and a system for optimizing utilization of a programmable logic element for use in an electronic control unit for vehicles, wherein the programmable logic element has a soft CPU and/or an unused remaining area. A plurality of model variants is generated that reproduce functionality of the control unit, and generate a plurality of soft CPU configurations with differing configuration scope, which occupy an area corresponding to the configuration scope of the programmable logic element, and execute processor-in-the-loop simulations for the plurality of model variants and/or soft CPU configurations after instantiation of the soft CPU corresponding to the soft CPU configuration on a programmable logic element. The profiling data acquired for the soft CPU during the PIL simulation is used with regard to the processing of the input signal for optimizing utilization of the programmable logic element.
