ACGL validator

An aspect when building automatic code generation systems for your hardware or software platforms, is that you can end up with a large number of configuration parameters, each with its own set of legal or illegal boundaries and values. To make matters even more complicated, legal parameter values often become illegal in certain combinations.

Atollic offers a solution to these problems; AVE - the ACGL Validation Engine. The AVE tool reads one or more rules-files and the configuration files that goes into the ACGL code generator. Based on the rules in the rules-files, AVE can give a pass/fail verdict on the settings made in the configuration files. This avoids illegal settings in the configuration files, such as a buffer size being set to a value which is outside its legal limits, or legal settings which might become illegal in certain combinations.

The ACGL validation engine is a cross-platform command-line tool that works equally well on Windows, Linux or Unix.
