Volcano VSTAR™ software platform is Mentor’s embedded implementation of the AUTOSAR standard and a complete offering to meet all ECU platform needs. Mentor Graphics® Volcano™ AUTOSAR has been at the forefront of addressing these challenges.
From an engineer’s perspective, whether integrating the latest AUTOSAR release, or developing a new ECU extract from the OEM, the AUTOSAR design process must be as streamlined as possible – and support increased levels of functionality as ECU complexity grows. ■■ Scalable for small footprints Advanced ECU Design with Fully Compliant AUTOSAR 4.x Software and Tooling Volcano VSx Tool Suite integration: Since its inception in 2003, AUTOSAR has established itself as the foundation for electronic control unit (ECU) design and development. Version 2021 was a complete rewrite to improve efficiency and user interface - renamed to "Footprint Expert".Volcano VSTAR Vehicle Systems Design D A T A S H E E T PRODUCT FEATURES: ■■ AUTOSAR 4.2.1 and AUTOSAR 4.0.3 software platform ■■ Usable for body, chassis, powertrain, and infotainment domains ■■ Communication stacks for LIN, CAN, FlexRay, and Ethernet ■■ AUTOSAR operating system supports all classes of scalability ■■ Profiling option for execution of time-critical applications Overview of Mentor Graphics VSTAR platform architecture and related tools. PCB Library Expert Suite & Parts on Demand (POD) - integration with a dynamic online database, allowing unprecedented flexibility in CAD Library management. "PCB Library Expert" now creates 3D STEP models footprints for non-standard components supported as well! fpx file format for component dimension library V2012 (with support for all major CAD tools!) plb09 file format for library + new GUI V2009 (added different units for mils, inch, millimeters and micrometers and through-hole component families)(added Eagle & McCAD)
plb file format for library + new GUI V2007 (added PCBL-STARTER content)(added PCAD, Pantheon, CADSTAR, Ultiboard, CR-5000 & OrCAD Layout)
LP Viewer, LP Calculator, LP Librarian, LP Wizard with new. p file format for library + new GUI V2005 (added Expedition, Board Station, Allegro) PCB Navigator – First calculator software GUI with PADS export V2004 LandCalc & LandWiz for PADS V2003 (IPC-7351 3-Tier) LandCalc V2001 with Metric Environment Spreadsheets (IPC-SM-782) In addition to the PCB Footprint Expert, we are also pursuing goals to develop a much more comprehensive online database of all component manufacturer part numbers for creation of high quality PCB libraries, in every major CAD tool format.īelow is the history of the footprint software, listed by major revisions. We also developed new PCB library creation features to improve ways of calculating and generating PCB libraries.

We rewrote the IPC Calculator code from scratch, keeping it more agile and easy to upgrade. The original PCB Libraries team regrouped in 2011, with bigger and more ambitious goals. Since the acquisition, support for most CAD formats other than (understandably) Mentor Graphics' own was either dropped or significantly reduced. Valor was later acquired by Mentor Graphics. The LP Wizard we developed over 12 years ago has for the most part remained unchanged after getting acquired in 2008 by Valor. Our scripts caught on very quickly, and we incorporated in 2004. We developed simple scripts to automate the creation of PCB libraries. PCB Libraries was started in 2003 as a sole proprietorship and was based on a couple of decades worth of work.
