No-Hooks Rapid Prototyping Software

No-Hooks is ATI’s innovative software-centric method of rapid prototyping that provides Electronic Control Unit (ECU) algorithm rapid prototyping functionality on the production-intent ECU without the need to access or re-program any ECU code. This can be achieved using only the files you use for day to day calibration activities and no additional hardware. The patent-pending No-Hooks technology offers software rapid prototyping features without the high cost of external bypass hardware or expensive (and time consuming) code changes.

The patent-pending No-Hooks technology offers software rapid prototyping features without the high cost of external bypass hardware or expensive (and time consuming) code changes.
Specifically, No-Hooks Rapid Prototyping allows the user to control and adjust ECU controlled global RAM variables in the ECU and with the addition of OnTarget, enables the expanded capability to add custom model based control algorithm code to replace the existing ECU code for calculating selected RAM variables on the ECU under test, also called the Target.  OnTarget was designed to make use of Simulink® models to develop these alternative control algorithms. Simulink is a platform for simulation and Model-Based Design from The MathWorks. OnTarget includes the appropriate Simulink libraries (block sets) and target build files for generating C-code using Simulink Coderâ„¢ (formerly Real-Time Workshop®) and compiling the code with various compilers (like the free ATI GNU compilers).
