Linking with CASE tools
Fujitsu's "Solution for V" for Easy Development of Programs for Embedded Equipment
While SOFTUNE can be used on its own in the development of embedded software for microcontrollers, Fujitsu's "Solution for
V" can provide an even more advanced program development environment for designers who need to develop high quality embedded
software for in-vehicle electrical equipment such as doors, meters, and car air conditioners. The development environment
offerd by Solution for V allows the use of CASE tools, consulting and contracted development with UML(Unified Modeling Language),
and state charts in the upstream and downstream phases.
State-transition charts and state-transition matrixs are commonly used in the development of in-vehicle equipment, and SOFTUNE
enables direct connection to CASE tools such as Statemate MAGNUM, RiMC(Rhapsody in MicroC), and ZIPC.

Customers develop embedded systems according to a V-shaped flow of processing.
Upstream, the use of UML(Unified Modeling Language) is becoming increasingly
popular. In response, Fujitsu's Solution for V provides a total solution for supporting development activities in all stages
of the V-shaped flow of processing, from upstream to downstream and from design to verification, in addition to the supply
of microcontrollers and tools for downstream processes.
Fujitsu has established close relationships with tool manufacturers and consulting companies in order to draw on their CASE
tool knowledge and techniques in order to respond to the most common problems faced by customers, such as (1) selection of
the most appropriate CASE tool for applications, (2) difficulty in mastering and incorporating necessary techniques, and (3)
a shortage of development personnel.
