5.2 Integrated approach

Figure 5.1 Overview of the ”RS-232 approach”

5.2 Integrated approach

This approach is based on writing a C++ application using the API’s of both Trace32

and CANoe, see Sections 2.4 and 2.3. Using the CANoe API dictates that the appli-

cation has to be built as a dll and the implementation has to contain certain CANoe

API functions. Furthermore, the dll is run by the Vector real time system by link-

ing it in the CANoe conﬁguration, this means that the application has to connect to

the Trace32 application run by the user PC via the Ethernet connection shown in

Figure 5.2. Although Lauterbach Trace32 recommend that the application using the

Trace32 API and the actual Trace32 instance is run on the same host, it is possible

to run your application on a remote device. It is therefore possible to run the appli-

cation on the Vector real time system by conﬁguring the Trace32 API to connect to

the IP-address of the user PC.

The C++ application has therefore access to every function needed in order to

integrate data extracted from Trace32 in CANoe.

This approach is somewhat more ”elegant” than the aforementioned since it

eliminates the use of extra hardware which makes it more user friendly, though, the

user has to link the application dll-ﬁle in CANoe.
