This chapter provides an overview of OpenECU developer software in more depth than the quick start covered in Chapter 3, Quick start. From this chapter, you will:
Understand how to access OpenECU through Simulink, in particular, the OpenECU blockset and user guides.
Understand the process in creating and developing an OpenECU Simulink application, how OpenECU uses data dictionaries to describe the signals and constants in the model, and how to program an ECU with that application.
Understand how to interact with the different Simulink coders through configuration sets, as well as what features of Simulink are not supported by OpenECU.
Understand the different system modes an ECU select, including the different software components that make up the ECU's firmware.
