hardware-in-the-loop
A simulation system for embedded systems in automotive and aerospace applications. It combines real hardware components with software-based simulation. For example, the automotive world uses dozens of embedded systems known as "electronic control units" (ECUs). For testing the ECU, the unit is tied to software that accepts ECU signals and simulates real-time responses.Copyright © 1981-2025 by The Computer Language Company Inc. All Rights reserved.

Using the
Hardware-in-the-Loop capability of System Generator for DSP, designers can use the ML402 board to verify designs in hardware within the System Generator for DSP development environment.
The last step of this project used a real fuel cell to power the simulated robot in what is called the
hardware-in-the-loop experiment.
Not only does this system reduce die costs associated with maintaining and running a fueled engine, but it also tests accurately and consistently without producing exhaust emissions, or the need for complex real-time
hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators, or gathering field recorded data.
