GENy Configuration Tool

GENy is the new configuration tool for Vector software components. It was created for development processes of the future such as those defined by AUTOSAR. GENy is used to configure CANbedded components or the flash bootloader for use in production ECUs.

Features and Advantages:

GENy is a developmental offshoot of CANgen and DBKOMgen. The GENy architecture was completely redesigned based on Vector's experience with those two tools. The following properties characterize the design:

  • Thoroughly modular structure due to its static framework, standalone graphic user interface (GUI) and dynamically reloadable components
  • Reloadable hierarchies make it well suited for any configuration task (CANbedded, LIN, FlexRay, OSEK OS, etc.)
  • A cleverly designed framework mechanism interprets and manages dependencies in configuring components
  • XML is used throughout as the file format, both for the components descriptions (Attributes) and data saving
  • Open interfaces mean simple expandability

This makes GENy a scalable and fully generic configuration editor/ generator that permits consistent configuration from a single integration environment, even of complex heterogeneous systems. Vector's many years of experience in the area of ECU development ensures optimal workflows between OEM and suppliers without altering their tasks or roles.

GENy is a collection of components (not a rigid program block); therefore it can also be expanded very easily by adding auxiliary components. This enables the integration and configuration of third-party products as well. GENy's state-of-the-art graphic interface is very easy to use and intuitive. GENy always appears with the same "look and feel" independent of the components to be configured. Accessible configuration data is shown and processed in a hierarchical tree structure. This makes navigation user friendly, and the user gets a clear view of all options. Wizards provide a guided "step-by-step" procedure.
