Growth and choice in platform electronics is now extremely challenging. Modern platforms frequently employ more than 80 separate systems, populated by hundreds of devices and thousands of electrical connections. Furthermore, the extraction of specific vehicle configurations that reflect optional content and model derivatives introduces further complexity. This paper describes a modern methodology that enables engineers to integrate participating systems efficiently. The methodology leverages a company's Intellectual Property via reusable rules that guide the allocation of devices into packaging locations, and subsequently synthesizes the physical wiring that supports the underlying logical connectivity.
