Raptor® is New Eagle's embedded Model-Based Development (eMBD) platform which is a suite of software tools matched with off-the-shelf controller and display hardware designed to assist businesses as they develop control software for complex electromechanical systems, such as those found in hybrid or electric vehicles, mobile hydraulic systems, internal combustion engines, or other complex systems. The Raptor Toolchain consists of seven unique software products: [[Raptor-Dev]], [[Raptor-Cal]], [[Raptor-CAN]], [[Raptor-Test]], [https://wiki.neweagle.net/index.php?title=Raptor-Platform#Raptor-Flash:_End-of-Line_Production_Tool Raptor-Flash], [[Raptor-Telematics]] and [[Raptor-Service]]. Each of these tool’s features, functionality, and workflows were designed by experienced application engineers hoping to improve upon the shortcomings of other software tools currently on the market.
<br/>
<br/>
The Raptor Toolchain is designed to work with an extensive line of automotive-grade, production-ready control modules and displays. Developers can easily create, compile, build and flash their Simulink models onto ruggedized, off-the-shelf hardware without the hassle of manual programming. Supporting a variety of ECUs which range in pin count, I/O capabilities and processor configuration allows developers to select a commercially-available off-the-shelf (COTS) ECU that matches their application.

=Raptor Maintenance, Support and Release Information=
New Eagle provides '''[http://software.neweagle.net/issues/my_view_page.php software.neweagle.net]''' for users to download Raptor products, report issues and track new features. A user account will need to be created to log in to the site. Once logged in, you will be able to see all the latest versions of Raptor products with links to download.
We always recommend that customers keep their maintenance up-to-date, so they have access to the latest features, fixes and support.
Software Maintenance is the most cost-effective way to protect your software investment and gain the greatest value from your Raptor Products.  Software Maintenance allows you to keep your software up to date.  Additionally, Software Maintenance allows you to access standard support. 
Standard support is provided for software products for the current purchased release and one following. For example, if the current release is 2017b, then support is provided for 2016a/b and 2017a/b. If a prior release must be used, support can be provided via an application engineering support contract.
Finally, we host webinars to broadcast changes and plans for current and future releases.
==Maintenance==
*Licenses are non-ending permission to use the software. Maintenance is optional.
*A license includes two major software releases as well as the ability to request bug fixes, receive software support and to request new/improved software features. For example, if a license is purchased during version 2016a, version 2016b is also included.
*Maintenance purchases allow for two additional major release updates. For instance, if a 2016a license is purchased, Maintenance may be purchased to extend support and software versions to 2017a and 2017b.
*Annual Maintenance purchases are required to maintain eligibility for purchasing Maintenance. In other words, if a 2016a license is purchased and Maintenance is not purchased before the release of 2017a, you must purchase a new license for software 2017b and later. Additionally, software support is not available for users that do not purchase Maintenance.

Raptor® is New Eagle's embedded Model-Based Development (eMBD) platform which is a suite of software tools matched with off-the-shelf controller and display hardware designed to assist businesses as they develop control software for complex electromechanical systems, such as those found in hybrid or electric vehicles, mobile hydraulic systems, internal combustion engines, or other complex systems. The Raptor Toolchain consists of seven unique software products: Raptor-Dev, Raptor-Cal, Raptor-CAN, Raptor-Test, Raptor-Flash, Raptor-Telematics and Raptor-Service. Each of these tool’s features, functionality, and workflows were designed by experienced application engineers hoping to improve upon the shortcomings of other software tools currently on the market.
The Raptor Toolchain is designed to work with an extensive line of automotive-grade, production-ready control modules and displays. Developers can easily create, compile, build and flash their Simulink models onto ruggedized, off-the-shelf hardware without the hassle of manual programming. Supporting a variety of ECUs which range in pin count, I/O capabilities and processor configuration allows developers to select a commercially-available off-the-shelf (COTS) ECU that matches their application. What is Raptor? Watch the video here!

Raptor Platform Overview

Raptor Telematics

New Eagle has developed a Raptor compatible Telematics platform, which enables remote tracking and management of assets through GPS and cellular data technology. This system serves as a gateway for remote administration of vehicles and data analysis. The New Eagle Telematics platform can monitor and analyze driver behavior, measure fuel consumption, and detect maintenance issues with vehicles before they become a problem. The seamless integration between the New Eagle Telematics Control Module (TCM) and New Eagle ECUs also allows the option for remote calibration, reflashing of the ECU and fault reporting.

New Eagle delivers a complete telematics solution including hardware, software, cellular plan, web server and web portal interface. To learn more or access product support pages, click on the link below.

Raptor Maintenance, Support and Release Information

New Eagle provides software.neweagle.net for users to download Raptor products, report issues and track new features. A user account will need to be created to log in to the site. Once logged in, you will be able to see all the latest versions of Raptor products with links to download.

We always recommend that customers keep their maintenance up-to-date, so they have access to the latest features, fixes and support.

Software Maintenance is the most cost-effective way to protect your software investment and gain the greatest value from your Raptor Products. Software Maintenance allows you to keep your software up to date. Additionally, Software Maintenance allows you to access standard support.

Standard support is provided for software products for the current purchased release and one following. For example, if the current release is 2017b, then support is provided for 2016a/b and 2017a/b. If a prior release must be used, support can be provided via an application engineering support contract.

Finally, we host webinars to broadcast changes and plans for current and future releases.

Maintenance

  • Licenses are non-ending permission to use the software. Maintenance is optional.
  • A license includes two major software releases as well as the ability to request bug fixes, receive software support and to request new/improved software features. For example, if a license is purchased during version 2016a, version 2016b is also included.
  • Maintenance purchases allow for two additional major release updates. For instance, if a 2016a license is purchased, Maintenance may be purchased to extend support and software versions to 2017a and 2017b.
  • Annual Maintenance purchases are required to maintain eligibility for purchasing Maintenance. In other words, if a 2016a license is purchased and Maintenance is not purchased before the release of 2017a, you must purchase a new license for software 2017b and later. Additionally, software support is not available for users that do not purchase Maintenance.
