7.3Define and Develop the Tool chain

Definition

The tool chain provides the tool support and the development process to provide a formalized specification of SRS and an executable code of the OBU. The openETCS life-cycle has been defined in D.2.3.

The OpenETCS tool chain consists of components. A Component is what the user perceives as an atomic tool aspect of openETCS. Some special Components satisfy infrastructure needs and are called Cross-Cutting Concerns. All the components are hosted by the tool platform (eclipse MDT). The OpenETCS tool page lists all the available component. A guidelines to follow the defined life-cycle for OBU development will complete the tool chain.
