EuroSim roadmap

1
EuroSim roadmap

• Robert de Vries, Dutch Space
• 6 November 2006
• EuroSim Workshop ESTEC

2
Overview

• IRIX/MIPS support
• SMP2 improved support
• Test Supervisor Light
• 64 bits Linux
• Scilab/Scicos support
• Integrate Mosaic in EuroSim
• Improve C99 support
• Support more Linux distributions
• Future releases

3
IRIX/MIPS support

• SGI has announced that it will stop selling
  IRIX/MIPS based systems by the end of 2006
• This means that the market for the IRIX/MIPS
  version of EuroSim will cease to exist
• Maintenance contracts on existing EuroSim
  licenses will continue as long as required
• Long term solution is to migrate to Linux based
  systems
• Not all device drivers are available on Linux
  (i.e. VMIC-5576 Reflective Memory card)

4
SMP2 improved support

• Assembly
• Dynamic model loading (i.e. managed models)
• SMP2 Schedule file
• Package support
• Follow ECSS standardization of SMP2 interface

5
Test Supervisor Light

• Strictly speaking a EuroSim add-on
• Allow coordination of simulator and various other
  test facility elements
• Includes system database
• Scripting facilities for automatic test execution
• Modular architecture, easy to add interface
  modules
• Runs on low-cost hardware (Linux PC)
• Open-Source tool based
• Compatible with SCOS-2000
• Easy to install and use
• Standards based (PUS TM/TC, EGSE harmonization,
  XML file format)

6
64 bits Linux version

• Runs on EM64T architecture (AMD Opteron, Intel
  Core 2 Duo, etc.)
• Not Itanium

7
Scilab/Scicos support

• Scilab/Scicos is a Matlab/Simulink open source
  clone
• Tailoring of code generation of Scilab/Scicos for
  EuroSim (similar to MOSAIC)

8
Integrate MOSAIC into EuroSim

• Make MOSAIC an integral part of EuroSim
• Single point of contact for customers
• Full integration of code generation into EuroSim
  rules
• Tailor RTW TLC files to EuroSim

9
Improve C99 support

• C99 extensions that are not (yet) supported
• Complex data types
• Variable length arrays
• Designated initializers
• Mixed declarations

10
More Linux Distributions ?

• Fedora Core 6
• SUSE Linux 10
• Concurrent RedHawk Linux

11
Future releases

• Mk4rev1
• Java support
• Linux 64 bits
• Various other minor features and bug fixes
• Release date Q1 or Q2 2007 (EuroSim application
  project driven)
• Mk4rev2
• Enhanced SMP2 support
• Release date TBD
