<h2><u><font color="#336699">Defining a Platform Architecture</font></u></h2>

<p>AutoFOCUS supports to model the architecture and the resources of hardware platforms.
If your project has no <i>Platform Architecture</i> root element yet, please add it in
the context menu of your project.</p>

<p>You can add elements to your <i>Platform Architecture</i> by dragging them from the <i>Model Elements</i>
View into your <i>Platform Architecture</i>.</p>

<p>AutoFOCUS 3 comes with the following platform architectures.</p>

<ul>
<li><i><a href="platform_architecture_generic.html">Generic platform architecture</a></i>: A flat
model of the system's hardware platform, consisting of a network of electronic control units (ECUs)
that are connected by means of transmission units (abstracting busses or networks).</li>
<li><i><a href="platform_architecture_hierarchical.html">Hierarchical platform architecture</a></i>:
A generic model to describe networked multicore architectures
in terms of their execution units (e.g., ECUs processors, cores), topology, memories, and I/O ports.</li>
</ul>
