Configuration diagram (ARINC for PikeOS code)

A Configuration Diagram is a hierarchical diagram representing all or part of an ARINC 653 configuration. It is based on the UML structure diagram which represents whole/part hierarchies using nested rectangles.

A Configuration Diagram allows you to create the items that define an ARINC configuration and application startup code.

When you create an Integration Project through the New > Integration Project command, the profile creates four Configuration Diagrams in the model:

• <module name> Configuration Diagram - This is the top-level Configuration Diagram that shows the owning Module and its moduleHM (Module HM Table), systemHM (System HM Table) and partHM (Partition HM Table) items. You can use this diagram to create and define the Partitions in your model.

The content of the following Configuration Diagrams could be shown on the preceding '<module name> Configuration Diagram' diagram, but it would make that diagram very cluttered.

• moduleHm Module HM Configuration Diagram1 - This Configuration Diagram shows the content of the moduleHM Module HM Table, that is, a System State Entry and default Error ID Actions. The content could be shown on the

• systemHm System HM Table Diagram - This Configuration Diagram shows the content of the systemHM System HM Table, that is, default System State Entries and Error ID Levels.

• partHm Partition HM Configuration Diagram1 - This Configuration Diagram shows the content of the partHM Partition HM Table, that is, a System State Entry and default Error ID Actions.

• From a Module: right-click the Module, point to ARINC 653, point to New, and then click Blank Configuration Diagram. This command creates an empty Configuration Diagram, onto which you can drag a Module, Partition, Module HM Table, Partition HM Table or System HM Table.

Partition: right-click the Partition, point to ARINC 653, point to New, and then click Partition Configuration Diagram. This command creates a Configuration Diagram with the Partition you right-clicked on the diagram.

• From a Module HM Table: right-click the Module HM Table, point to ARINC 653, point to New, and then click Module HM Table Diagram. This command creates a Configuration Diagram with the Module HM Table you right-clicked on the diagram.

• From a Partition HM Table: right-click the Partition HM Table, point to ARINC 653, point to New, and then click Partition HM Table Diagram. This command creates a Configuration Diagram with the Partition HM Table you right-clicked on the diagram.

• From a System HM Table: right-click the System HM Table, point to ARINC 653, point to New, and then click System HM Table Diagram. This command creates a Configuration Diagram with the System HM Table you right-clicked on the diagram.

After creating a Configuration Diagram from an item, on a Configuration Diagram you can double-click that item to open its associated Configuration Diagram.

The following example shows item ownership on a Configuration Diagram.

You can view all the Configuration Diagrams in the model through the Configuration Diagram folder in the ARINC 653 Profile pane.

A Configuration Diagram is based on a UML Composite Structure Diagram.

• Application part (ARINC for PikeOS code)

Create an Application Part through the diagram's toolbar: click the

Application toolbar button, and then click within the owning Partition Part. When you create an Application Part, the profile creates an Application that types the Application Part and an Application Project.

Ensure that you link the Application Part to the appropriate Ports using a Port Usage link.

Specify the Application Project, CmdLine, ExecInPlace, FileName, HasEntryPoint, MaxChildTasks, MaxPrio, MaxThreads, PoolName, ResourceName, UsePool and VirtAddr properties for the Application Part through the Application that types it.
