The paper describes the components of an envisioned open source framework that supports several stages in the model-based development of two- and three-wheelers software controls. The proposed solution supports the runtime execution on an OSEK-compatible [8] real-time operating system for multicore platforms. The framework consists of a modeling and simulation tool (including hierarchical state machines) and a code generator for the development of the functional model of controls and the definition of their task implementation; an OSEK/AUTOSAR operating system and device driver stack; OS and I/O configuration tools. The platform has been released open-source under an industry-friendly license. Our framework is currently in use for the development of innovative two-three wheelers control systems at Piaggio. In this paper we describe the experience matured in the application development, the benefits and current limitations of the approach.
