HardwareModeling

The package HardwareModeling contains the elements to model physical entities of the embedded electrical/electronic system. These elements allow the hardware to be captured in sufficient detail to allow preliminary allocation decisions.<br/><br/>The allocation decisions are based on requirements on timing, storage, data throughput, processing power, etc. that are defined in the Functional Analysis Architecture and the Functional Design Architecture.<br/><br/>Conversely, the Functional Analysis Architecture and the Functional Design Architecture may be revised based on analysis using information from the Hardware Design Architecture. An example is control law design, where algorithms may be modified for expected computational and communication delays. Thus, the Hardware Design Architecture contains information about properties in order to support, e.g., timing analysis and performance in these respects.<br/><br/>
