Microcomputer logic development

摘要

Provided is a logic development system that can ensure the capability of a CPU required for preceding logic, guarantee reliable communication of input/output information, and improve the throughput of the CPU. A logic development system for a built-in microcomputer employed in an electronic control unit (ECU) comprises: a motherboard that accommodates an application facility and a communication facility; a core board that accommodates quasi microcomputer peripheral devices, a, computing facility, and a communication facility and that is connected to the motherboard over a PCI bus; and an interface board that includes circuits equivalent to the hardware of the ECU and that is connected to the core board. The communication facility on the motherboard and each of the quasi microcomputer peripheral devices on the core board transfer data directly to or from each other over the PCI bus linking them.
