Info

Ports

Specifics

Initial setup

The XIL API server must always be selected. If none is displayed, check the installation of the XIL API server and make sure the *.imf files are in the right directory. See sections XIL under Windows and XIL under Linux for details.

In addition, you need to set

  • the model directory if a model port is used,

  • the EES directory if an EES port is used.

Info

This is the generic implementation for the ASAM XIL standard. There are more specific implementations for certain tools like dSPACE: XIL or Typhoon.

Mandatory software

  • The XIL-API server and the ASAM AE XIL Standard Assemblies 2.0.1 or higher

    • both shipped with the software you want to connect

    • sometimes needs to be installed separately

  • ASAM AE XIL Standard Assemblies 2.0.1 or higher

  • Specific configuration file for each port.

If all prerequisites are fulfilled, you can select the tool with the XIL-API Server property.

The bus ports can only be used if at least one model port is configured.

XIL servers built for the following .NET platforms are supported by ecu.test:

  • .NET-Framework (up to 4.8, Windows specific)

  • .NET (version 6 or newer)

From .NET 6 on, please specify a .NET Runtime configuration for the selected XIL-API Server accordingly. This is a path to the *.runtimeconfig.json file which has been shipped with the XIL-API Server. If this is not the case, please refer to the Microsoft documentation on .NET Runtime configuration settings.

XIL under Windows

In Windows there is a default directory for manifest files. ecu.test looks for *.imf files in the directory C:ProgramDataASAMXILImplementation.

XIL under Linux

In contrast to Windows there is no default directory for manifest files in Linux. The directory can be set manually via the environment variable XIL_MANIFEST_DIR or the correspondent setting in ToolLibs.ini. The environment variable will override the setting in ToolLibs.ini.
