C-ATOM

C-ATOM, See-atom, carbon-atom, C language-atom is a scalable framework to create embedded systems faster by the combination of the top level declarative programming of the behaviour; model-based enabled design; service code generation.

C-ATOM is build around practical and organization problems of building and scaling distributed embedded systems for control applications.

C-ATOM solves a problem of the transferring of the functional software from one hardware/OS platform to another with minimum effort.

C-ATOM provides tools and services to separate and streamline processes of development functional software, its integration and verification. C-ATOM gives solutions for maximum reusability of the software for integrating software and hardware testing rigs for Software-In-the-Loop, Hardware-In-the-Loop verification methods.

For functional interconnection C-ATOM uses ESWB (check Embedded Software Bus). ESWB creates uniform way of functions to communicate between each other: inside thread, between threads, between processes. Stands as the only form of inter-process communication inside c-atom controlled domain.

Key highlights before we go into details:

• written in C language;

• libc, pthreads, libm are the only dependencies;

• uses POSIX for system calls;

• designed to be hardware and software-agnostic.

• provides services for telemetry transmission, logging and visualizing.

C-ATOM structure

• swsys - software system description layer; allocates functions and other blocks into tasks and processes.

• flow - block to arrange computational graphs as a sequence of atomic reusable (C lang coded) functions.

• fsm - finite state machine block, operates by states, transitions and actions on states and transitions.

• ibr - interface bridge - designed to take care of converting information from and to other devices.
