TRANSFER OF EMBEDDED SOFTWARE DATA INTO PLM INSTANCE

Abstract:

Provided is a system and method for transferring data attributes of an embedded software program on a device into a PLM instance of the device. Data attributes may be mapped to a predefined data structure of the PLM instance thereby ensuring that the software data is compatible with the process of a PLM environment. In one example, the method may include receiving a request that identifies a software program of an embedded system, identifying data attributes of the software program within a software development application, where the data attributes comprise a description of the software program and a build version of the software program, and translating the identified data attributes of the software program into a predefined data structure of a lifecycle management instance of the embedded system.
