| Abstract | In this paper, we present a simulation framework based on SystemC and QEMU applied to the robustness testing of the communication layers in the AutroSafe fire alarm system from Autronica Fire and Security. This is a distributed large scale fire detection and alarm system. The system is based on state-of-the-art redundant protocols and embedded Linux operating systems. To achieve good confidence about the correctness and the robustness of the system, a simulation environment is used to run the target software using virtual execution platforms with timing variability. These platform variations allow simulating a range of system conditions, hence several possible interactions among the nodes and the network protocols, to which the application must be resilient. QEMU is used to execute the target software, while accurate models of the network protocols and topologies are provided in a SystemC-based simulation framework called DESYRE. The novel contribution described in this work is the integration of these environments for the simulation of a networked system with control of time execution accuracy and variability, as well as the application to the robustness testing of the industrial application. |
