New features of
Phoenix 2.13
Hierarchical technical architecture model
- Generic hierarchical
physical architecture model for heterogeneous multicore platforms that covers
the following aspects
- Execution units (e.g.,
processors, cores, ...)
- Transmission units
(e.g., busses, networks, ...)
- Peripherals and
interfaces (e.g., I/Os, clocks, watchdogs, ...)
- Deprecates obsolete
NIOS-II platform architecture (models are migrated)
- Explicit task architecture model to
define execution containers of logical architecture components, signal
flows and temporal requirements/properties (e.g., periods, WCETs, ...)
- Partition architecture model to define the
decomposition of the system into isolated partitions (provided by a
time-space partitioning hypervisor)
- Allocation model
- Defines mappings
between the different layers of the system (e.g., logical architecture to
task architecture, task architecture to partition architecture, and
partition architecture to hardware)
- Intended to replace the
current deployment model in one of the upcoming releases
