Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for user interactive hardware-in-the-loop simulation for a distributed embedded system. According to the present invention, the apparatus and the method for user interactive hardware-in-the-loop simulation for a distributed embedded system comprise the steps of: setting a simulation environment to an embedded system including a user-machine interlocked common interface, a user interaction unit, and a user interactive simulator by using a simulation environment setting unit; receiving hardware status data from hardware of the embedded system, or user interactive hardware of the user interaction unit or a distributed simulator of the user interactive simulator, and calculating hardware control data in control software or the distributed simulator; transmitting the hardware control data generated in the calculating step to the hardware of the embedded system, or the user interactive hardware of the user interaction unit or the distributed simulator of the user interactive simulator; and progressing with simulation such that the processes of the calculating step and the transmitting step can form a loop.
