ForSyDe on the Patmos Processor

Due to strict timing requirements, designing embedded real-time systems for safety-critical applications is inherently complex. The design paradigm should not only be able to guarantee that the final system works but also fulfill the safety-critical specifications and requirements. This paper proposes a design approach for embedded systems using T-CREST, a time-predictable hardware platform, and ForSyDe, a modeling framework supporting the formal design of embedded systems. We designed different use cases, performed preliminary experiments, and demonstrated the possibility of using this method. Furthermore, we perform worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis of our example applications.
