Adding RIMB ports

You can create implementation block (RIMB) ports, which are typed by Rational® Rhapsody® implementation block interfaces, connect to AUTOSAR ports by way of delegation connectors.

About this task

The four kinds of Rational Rhapsody implementation block ports correspond to the four kinds of AUTOSAR ports in the AUTOSAR-authoring support.
Note: Two kinds of ports are in the AUTOSAR metamodel. Each port can be typed by two kinds of interfaces:
  • RIMBReceiverPorts connect to AUTOSAR receiver ports
  • RIMBSenderPorts connect to AUTOSAR sender ports
  • RIMBClientPorts connect to AUTOSAR client ports
  • RIMBServerPorts connect to AUTOSAR server ports

Procedure

  1. Right-click a Rational Rhapsody implementation block and select Add New > AR3x_BMT > <port type>. For example, Add New > AR3x_BMT > RIMBReceiverPort.
  2. Double-click the port you just added. In the Features window, define the characteristics of the port.
  3. Because each Rational Rhapsody implementation block port must be typed by one Rational Rhapsody implementation block interface, on the General tab for the port, you must enter the pre-existing interface in the Contract or the Type field. The kind of interface must match the kind of port.
