ASAP2 Tool-Set 7.0
Creating, checking, updating, merging and comparing ASAP2 files
The ASAP2 Tool-Set consists of five programs that are started from the command line and are configured by initialization files.
Features and Advantages
The ASAP2 Creator automatically creates ASAP2 files based on C-code comments. The ASAP2 Updater updates the address and data type information of an ASAP2 file using a linker map file. The ASAP2 Merger merges several ASAP2 files to a common ASAP2 file. The ASAP2 Comparer compares two ASAP2 files and writes the results to a log file. The ASAP2 Checker checks ASAP2 files for syntactic and semantic errors.
Application Areas
The ASAP2 Tool-Set is used to create and check ASAP2 description files, which in turn are needed by CANape to perform its tasks as a measure-ment and calibration tool.
Functions
No interactive user input is expected so that the programs also can be integrated in a Makefile process. Warnings and error messages can be stored in a log file. The result can be determined by the exit code.
All versions released by ASAM can be read in, including the latest version 1.61. The generated output file conforms to ASAP2 version 1.61. The interface-specific parts of the ASAP2 file are interpreted and rewritten to the output file based on the given meta language. All IF_DATA types are supported.
New Functions of Version 7.0:
- Extension The ASAP2 Checker is a new tool, which lets you check A2L files syntactically and semantically. You can use it to check whether your ECU description file conforms to the standard; this can increase the quality of your development process.
- The speed of reading the file was increased. Even very large A2L files can be processed very efficiently.
- Zipped A2L files are also supported, which eliminates the need for manual file extraction.
