What's new in version 4.6.1.2

  • General Enhancements
    • Statemate was enhanced to support transition priorities on compound transitions.
    • The properties dialog of Information-flows was enhanced to support quick navigation to referenced elements. Double-click on an item in the "Consist of" list navigates to the properties of that item. The Properties preference "Open New Editor for References" determines whether this opens in a new properties dialog or the current one.
    • The tool was enhanced to allow opening of 2 or more external editors for element properties simultaneously.

  • MicroC Enhancements
    • Context Variables used in a Statechart shall be allocated only in the Statechart related functions in which they are actually used.

  • Statemate Autosar Generator (SAG) Enhancements
    • Use Design-Attributes to configure AUTOSAR features
      • SAG was enhanced to use the Design-Attribute “Its Port” of Data-Item, Condition or Event to determine the Port’s name. If the value of the Design-Attribute “Its Port” is empty or “none”, the Port name will be determined by the Flow-Line label.
      • SAG was enhanced to use the Design-Attributes “Data Exchange Method” and “Data Exchange Behavior” of Data-Item, Condition or Event to determine their communication type, regardless of the port’s setting in the SAG profile.
        This is enabled by selecting a new option, “By Design Attribute", for the “Data Exchange Method” and “Data Exchange Behavior” pop-up menus in the SAG profile.

                 

    • Support Buffered/Direct access for Explicit/Implicit data on SWC interface and IRVs
      • SAG was enhanced to support all the following options (default value is marked with *):
        • CalPrm Access Mode

Buffered Access *                                 

Direct Using Get/Set API’s Access

        • Explicit Read Access Mode

Buffered Access *

Direct Using Get/Set API’s Access

        • Implicit Read Access Mode

Buffered Access *

Direct Using Get/Set API’s Access

        • Explicit Write Access Mode

Buffered Access                                               

Direct Using Get/Set API’s Access *

        • Implicit Write Access Mode

Buffered Access

Direct Using Get/Set API’s Access *

        • Explicit IRV Access Mode

Buffered Access

Direct Using Get/Set API’s Access *

        • Implicit IRV Access Mode

Buffered Access

Direct Using Get/Set API’s Access *

      • Internal-Behavior Design-Attributes shall be used to configure the SAG profile’s “Access Mode” policy. Possible values for the above Internal-Behavior Design-Attributes:
        • Buffered
        • Direct Using Get/Set API’s
        • By Design Attribute

When “By Design Attribute” is selected, SAG will refer the Design-Attribute “Double Buffered” in the following way:

          • When “Double Buffered” is set to “yes”, Buffered access will be used.
          • When “Double Buffered” is set to “no”, Direct Using Get/Set API’s access will be used.

 

    • RAM Optimized implementation regarding “Explicit Read” of data
      SAG was enhanced to declare local (auto) variables for Explicit-Access input-data and read the data via an RTE API at the beginning of the relevant functions, rather than allocating global data and calling the read RTE API in the beginning of the task’s execution.

The enhanced implementation is enabled by one of the following:

      • The Internal-Behavior Design-Attribute “Explicit Read Access Mode” is set to “Direct Using Get/Set API’s".
      • The Internal-Behavior Design-Attribute “Explicit Read Access Mode” is set to “By Design Attribute”, and the Design-Attribute “Double Buffered” for the corresponding Data-Item or Condition is set to “no".
