This paper presents the hardware and software platform that was developed in Arsenal Research for testing a wide spectrum of hardware configurations and software control strategies of electric propulsion systems suitable for electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The hardware part is characterised by a powerful floating point computing core and flexible programmable peripheral units. The developed software operating system is based on multitasking mechanism that allows the straightforward deploying of ready-to-use target independent software modules written in C. A powerful feature in the sense of rapid prototyping is the IEEE1394 interface of the platform with a host PC providing a very fast real time data transfer. Via a specially designed graphical user interface, the design engineer can modify and monitor in run time literally every software variable as well as hardware parameters made visible in the control software by assigned software variables. An example will be given to show the practical application of the presented platform in reference with a prototype for a high tech electric scooter.
