Embedded UML Studio is the complete environment for model-driven design and development of embedded software. Built on IBM Rhapsody and powered by Embedded UML RXF, it lets your team model, simulate, debug, and automatically generate efficient C/C++ source code for any target system, without polluting your UML model with RTOS-specific details.
Embedded UML Studio packages IBM Rhapsody with SodiusWillert's Embedded UML RXF runtime library. Together, they let systems engineers design, simulate, and generate production-quality C and C++ code directly from UML models, without polluting those models with RTOS-specific elements or hardware constraints.
RTOS interfaces, target adapters, and runtime environment functions are encapsulated automatically. You select them by compiler parameter; the framework handles the rest. The result is a model that remains concise, reusable, and straightforward to port across target systems, from a simple microcontroller to complex safety-critical hardware.
Embedded UML Studio is designed for teams in aerospace, automotive, defense, and industrial sectors who need rigorous model-driven design practices without the overhead of manual integration between tools.

Embedded UML Studio contains a complete library implementing UML elements with no exact equivalent in C or C++. Get ready-to-use specific interfaces for a multitude of RTOS and target systems. Select the appropriate interfaces by compiler parameter. The required functions and adapters are automatically included in an executable file for your target system.

Monitor and verify the behavior of your UML model early. Simulate execution within the modeling tool environment to evaluate functions, dependencies, interfaces, etc. Find and eliminate errors in real-time behavior by debugging your UML model on the target system. Monitor real-time behavior of the system under development while still in the modeling stage.
IBM Rhapsody comes with a multitude of valuable and helpful features. These include model-level simulation, automatic generation of efficient source code, support for reverse engineering and roundtrip engineering, intuitive user interface, team collaboration support, and much more.
Inspect the runtime behavior under real conditions on the target system while you are still elaborating your UML model. With Embedded UML Studio, you execute the model in real time on the target system. You intervene through trigger events, calls, induced errors and check your model using animated sequence and timing diagrams.
Link UML models to requirements held in an external requirements management tool. Click on a link in your UML environment and the up-to-date version of the connected requirement will be displayed. After generating code from your UML model, the text of the requirement will be included in the source code as a comment.
Usually, a UML model also includes elements defining certain runtime environment settings, such as Active Class. Thanks to the function library delivered with Embedded UML RXF, those functions are easily and automatically included with a click and converted into the correct source code.
Add IBM TestConductor and unlock the value of automated model testing on the target system. Automatically generate UML-compliant test architectures and test cases, including automatic linkage back to the model for end-to-end traceability. Tests are executed automatically and documented in meaningful reports, traces, and coverage analyses.
Embedded UML Studio removes the friction between high-level design intent and production-quality embedded software, across any target, any team size.
Develop with no trade-offs to accommodate the limited language scope of C or C++ and without including RTOS-specific elements in your model. Embedded UML RXF (included in Embedded UML Studio) automatically includes the necessary functions and adapters and generates code with only minimal overhead in terms of memory, runtime and efficiency.
With Embedded UML Studio you can focus on modeling your embedded software with IBM Rhapsody (included in Embedded UML Studio). No need to worry about RTOS or target system details, these are handled by ready-to-use RXF adapters (also included) for a broad range of RTOS and microcontrollers. Time-consuming adaptations to your target system are usually not required.
Monitor and verify the behavior of your UML model early to check if it meets the specified requirements. Simulate execution within the modeling tool environment to evaluate functions, dependencies, interfaces, etc. while you are developing the model. Detect and eliminate errors as soon as possible, when bug fixing is less expensive.
Find and eliminate errors in real-time behavior by debugging your UML model on the target system. Errors caused by specific characteristics of the target system can be identified as early as possible before troubleshooting gets really expensive.
Add IBM TestConductor and unlock the value of automated model testing on the target system. Automatically generate UML-compliant test architectures and test cases, including automatic linkage back to the model for end-to-end traceability. Benefit from meaningful reports, traces, and coverage analyses.
Link UML models to corresponding requirements and open direct access to up-to-date requirements data from your modeling environment. After generating code from your UML model, the text of the requirement will be included in the source code as a comment. Add IBM TestConductor and benefit from end-to-end transparency, from requirements to source code, and further to test results.
