Embedded Foundation (EF™) is set of generic software components that allows rapid development of embedded software. EF™ provides a powerful platform to create virtually HW independent embedded applications. Portability to different microprocessor families is given due to use of standardize APIs (No change in application SW). The EF™ components are supplied as C source code. Following components are avaiable for various microprocessor families:

• Communication Stack
• CAN
• LIN
• SPI
• I2C
• UART
• Ethernet
• Peripherals
• Timer
• PWM
• ADC
• General Purpose I/Os
• Cooperative Scheduler

Key features of the components are:

• MISRA-C Compliant C-Code
• Small footprint -- Code optimized for size and execution speed
• Clean, structured code facilitates reviews, audits for compliance to standards for safety-critical systems
• SysDesign -- Standard highly-intuitive configuration tool to configure EF™ components
• Full integration support (Free integration and 1-year maintenance support)
• Comprehensive documentation
• Royalty-free
• Standard AUTOSAR RTE Interface to application layer (add-on only on request)

Supported microprocessor families:

• Infineon Tricore
• 8051
• Freescale Power PC
• Renesas V850

Please contact us if your target microprocessor family is not listed above. We can provide support to quickly port the EF™ components to your target microprocessor family.

SysDesign is highly intuitive windows based application which facilitates complete system design based on EF™ components. It enables centeralized management and configuration of the system. The software of systems designed via SysDesign are readily portable to different HW platform. This alleviates the need of learning vendor-specific configuration tools to configure SW components for different microprocessors. One design for ALL.
