target.XCPPlatformAbstraction class

Package: target

Specify XCP platform abstraction layer for target hardware

Description

Use the target.XCPPlatformAbstraction class to specify the implementation of the XCP Platform Abstraction Layer for your target hardware. The layer provides:

• The implementation of a static memory allocator –– see Memory Allocator.

• Other target hardware-specific functionality –– see Other Platform Abstraction Layer Functionality.

To create a target.XCPPlatformAbstraction object, use the target.create function. Create the object and then use separate steps to specify properties. Or, using name-value arguments, create the object and specify properties in a single step.

If you do not create a target.XCPPlatformAbstraction object, the software uses the default platform abstraction layer, which supports Linux^®, Windows^®, and Mac platforms.

Properties

BuildDependencies — Platform abstraction layer build dependencies

target.BuildDependencies object

Specify preprocessor directives, source files, and header files that are required for the implementation of the XCP platform abstraction layer.

Attributes:

GetAccess	public
SetAccess	public

Examples

Specify Communication Protocol Stack for Target Hardware

This code snippet from Customise Connectivity for XCP External Mode Simulations shows how to specify and use a custom implementation of the XCP platform abstraction layer.

xcpPlatformAbstraction = target.create('XCPPlatformAbstraction', ...
                'Name', 'XCP Platform Abstraction');

customPlatformAbstractionPath = 'pathToImplementationFolder';
xcpPlatformAbstraction.BuildDependencies.SourceFiles = ...
                {fullfile(customPlatformAbstractionPath, 'myXCPPlatform.c')};
xcpPlatformAbstraction.BuildDependencies.IncludePaths = ...
                {customPlatformAbstractionPath};

xcpTCPIPTransport = target.create('XCPTCPIPTransport', ...
                'Name', 'XCP TCPIP Transport');

xcpTCPIPConfiguration = target.create('XCP', ...
                'Name', 'XCP TCP/IP Configuration', ...
                'XCPTransport', xcpTCPIPTransport, ...
                'XCPPlatformAbstraction', xcpPlatformAbstraction);

Note

You can create the target.XCPPlatformAbstraction object in a single step.

xcpPlatformAbstraction = target.create('XCPPlatformAbstraction', ...
       'Name', 'XCP Platform Abstraction', ...
       'SourceFiles', {fullfile('pathToImplementationFolder', 'myXCPPlatform.c'}, ...
       'IncludePaths', {'pathToImplementationFolder'});
