Signal Flow With Simulink
BEACON for Simulink / Stateflow enables developers to specify embedded systems
requirements using the popular simulation tools: Simulink / Stateflow. The BEACON
code generation tools then generate production code from those specifications.
Embedded system signal flow is specified using Simulink. This provides application
design using a signal propagation approach. BEACON for Simulink / Stateflow then
analyzes the Simulink diagrams to generate structured C, Ada, or FORTRAN code.

The use of Simulink diagrams is also compatible with the BEACON Tester automated
unit test tool. This tool can perform extensive analysis on the signal flow structure
to generate reports and unit test vectors. This tool automates a large portion
of the embedded system formal testing process, saving development time and increasing
system reliability. |
