About the technology
What TargetLink does
dSPACE TargetLink is a production code generator for model-based development. It converts Simulink and Stateflow models into optimized embedded C code for electronic control units. Teams use it to create repeatable software artifacts while keeping the model, generated code and calibration workflow aligned.
Automotive applications
TargetLink is used for control software in vehicles and embedded systems where predictable execution and traceability matter. Typical work includes:
- Powertrain and electrification control
- Battery management and charging functions
- Chassis, braking and body control
- Driver assistance and vehicle motion functions
- AUTOSAR-compliant ECU software
Ecosystem and tooling
Strong specialists work across the dSPACE ecosystem and the wider model-based engineering toolchain. They configure TargetLink libraries, data dictionaries, code generation settings and calibration interfaces, while connecting Simulink, Stateflow, AUTOSAR authoring tools, embedded build systems and test environments. Knowledge of C, MATLAB scripting and version-controlled model workflows is essential.
When companies need specialists
Companies often bring in freelance expertise when a new ECU platform must be industrialized, an existing model must generate maintainable code, or a team needs support during verification and release. In Germany, TargetLink work commonly connects automotive suppliers, vehicle manufacturers and embedded software teams. Remote collaboration can work well when model conventions and review processes are documented; on-site work may help during lab integration or release phases.
Delivery and verification
A capable professional can establish code-generation configurations, resolve model and data issues, integrate generated C code into an ECU build and support unit, integration and system testing. They understand traceability from requirements to models and code, static analysis, calibration data, processor constraints and safety-oriented development practices. Clear documentation makes handover easier.
Choosing the right professional
Look for someone who can explain why a TargetLink configuration produces a specific result, not just operate the tool. Relevant evidence includes delivered ECU software, AUTOSAR integration, model reviews, generated-code analysis and experience with target hardware. The strongest professionals balance model quality, execution efficiency, traceability and the practical constraints of the vehicle program.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around dSPACE TargetLink.
dSPACE TargetLink generates production-ready embedded C code from Simulink and Stateflow models. Companies use it for ECU software in areas such as powertrain, battery management, chassis control, body functions and driver assistance.
TargetLink supports a model-based workflow with repeatable code generation, traceability and close integration with Simulink. Hand-written C can offer direct control, while other generators may fit different model types or toolchains, so the right choice depends on safety goals, target hardware, existing models and team processes.
A strong dSPACE TargetLink specialist usually understands Simulink, Stateflow, embedded C, AUTOSAR and ECU build integration. Experience with MATLAB scripting, calibration, requirements traceability, static analysis and hardware testing is also valuable.
TargetLink projects need a professional who has handled the full path from model configuration through generated code, integration and verification. The required depth depends on whether the assignment is a focused configuration task, a platform migration or ownership of production ECU software.
dSPACE TargetLink work can often be completed remotely when models, repositories, build environments and review rules are accessible. On-site collaboration may still be useful for target-hardware tests, laboratory integration or workshops with teams in Germany, and language expectations should be agreed early.
Ask a TargetLink professional to explain a delivered code-generation setup, model review or integration issue in concrete terms. Good evidence includes clear reasoning about data types, execution behavior, generated C code, traceability and the constraints of the target ECU.
TargetLink can be used within AUTOSAR-oriented workflows to generate code that integrates with configured software components and ECU platforms. The professional should be familiar with the project's AUTOSAR authoring tools, interfaces, runnable behavior, build process and verification responsibilities.
dSPACE TargetLink assignments often depend on licensed tool versions, established model conventions, target hardware and restricted project environments. Freelancers should clarify access, deliverables, review standards, coding rules, calibration needs and whether the work covers modeling, configuration, integration or verification.
