Development of Engine Control Units
Daimler uses
Silver for the development and optimization
of ECUs for diesel and gasoline engines, as well as for other ECUs along the powertrain.
Virtual ECUs are built either from the C sources or from the HEX file
of the target ECU processor.
This way, Daimler engineers can move several development steps from road, engine test
rig and HIL to PCs.
