PROTOS – Hardware in the loop testing
The PROTOS miniHIL (H.W In the LOOP) is a compact complete solution consisting of the hardware board, similar to your H.W. (based on Eval board consists your specific MCU) and a software platform for environment simulations and test cases.
miniHIL fits on your work bench and allows embedded software developers to test their application after each and every code change.
- With the miniHIL hardware, the pins of the target microcontroller are connected to the test system on the signal level.
- The miniHIL software is used to develop and generate test cases and environment simulations with models. The environment simulations (e.g. for motors, batteries or bus protocols) are needed to make the System under Test (SUT) work completely without system hardware. This allows the SUT to be put into very many different situations very quickly and with little effort. This makes the test fully automatable for good and bad cases.
