What’s New in
chronSUITE 3
chronSUITE 3 brings a whole load of new features to chronSIM and chronVIEW: enhanced modeling and simulation options, a fresh new UI, integration with FMI co-simulation, and support for the APP4MC AMALTHEA models.
Designed for Next-Generation Automotive Platforms
With hundreds of projects already developed using INCHRON’s leading timing optimization toolkit, you’ll probably be wondering if it makes sense to upgrade immediately. chronSUITE 3 is ideal for system architects, developers, integrators, and testers working on the most complex, next-generation automotive platforms. Review our list of new features and the roadmap below to determine whether your team should make the switch.
New Features and Highlights
- Improved new user interface with enhanced trace view diagrams
- Significantly expanded modeling options for specifying the execution behavior of processes and functions
- Expanded model for queued communication and signal routing in event chains
- Simulation of memory bus congestion effects
- Support of the FMI standard for co-simulation
- Importer for APP4MC AMALTHEA models

Migration of Model and Trace Files
- Existing IPR model and ISF trace files are automatically converted to new format
- Migration guide available for version 2 users
Should I Upgrade?
Upgrade to chronSUITE 3 if you:
- Work with a single ECU, SoC, or microcontroller
- Investigate issues related to memory congestion
- Work with APP4MC AMALTHEA models
- Need detailed models for examining the internal behavior of processes and functions
Stick with version 2 if you currently:
- Need to model network peripherals for LIN, CAN, FlexRay, or Ethernet
- Extensively work with event chains
chronSUITE 3 Feature Roadmap
While chronSUITE 3 offers many exciting new capabilities, we have many new features planned for the coming months, such as:
- Simulation of AUTOSAR Classic Platform / OSEK systems
- Simulation of LIN, CAN-FD, FlexRay, and Ethernet network peripherals
- Updates to chronVAL for schedulability analysis and formal timing verification
- Improvements to chronOPT for architecture optimization
- Graphical model editors for hardware, software, and event chains
