Creating links between Embedded Software Management components

When you create your Embedded Software structure, you can link to different components using the trace link functionality. The following trace links are available specifically for Embedded Software Management components:

Depends Link — Represents a relationship where the defining hardware or software is dependent on the complying hardware or software. An example is when a secondary bootloader software depends on a primary bootloader software.

Compatible Link — Represents a relationship where the defining hardware or software is compatible with the complying hardware or software. An example is when an application software is compatible with a processor.

Relates Link — Represents a relationship where the defining hardware or software is related to the complying hardware or software, for example, when a License is related to the Application Software.

You can add trace links from the diagram or from the Trace Link tab.
