Generate production-ready source code from state diagrams or SysML v2 textual models#
From design to code with ease#
Sinelabore is a tool that has proven itself over many years across numerous applications and with many customers. It enables developers to combine event-driven architecture, hierarchical state machines, model-based design, and automatic code generation effectively. You usually see a return on investment very quickly.

Many systems are good candidates for a finite-state-machine implementation: anything that must sequence actions, or react to inputs differently depending on its current mode. Typical examples include control-oriented software such as protocol stacks, stateful workflows, visualizations, and control applications.
How it works#
-
1 · Model#
Draw a flat or hierarchical state machine in the built-in editor or in your UML tool.
-
2 · Generate#
Run the code generator. It writes plain source code in C, C++, Rust or one of seven other languages.
-
3 · Integrate#
Call the generated handler from your main loop, an RTOS task or an interrupt service routine.
Why Sinelabore#
-
No framework, no runtime
The generated code does not lock you into a runtime framework and fits bare-metal and RTOS designs alike. -
Any compiler, any CPU
Standard language features only, for 8-, 16- and 32-bit CPUs, your IDE, build and CI. -
Readable code
Nested switch/case and if/else: easy to read, debug, and if needed change by hand.
-
Your system design
Use it with an RTOS (VxWorks, FreeRTOS, embOS, RTEMS, …), in an interrupt or in a super loop. -
Static analysis friendly
Generated C++ passes clang-tidy and is C++11 ready (modernize-*). -
Configurable
A plain text configuration file tailors the generated code to your needs.

For your field#
Sinelabore generates readable, maintainable C or C++ from flat or hierarchical UML state machine diagrams, for embedded real-time and low-power systems.
Where parts of an IoT application run in Java, Python, C#, Lua, Rust, JavaScript, Go or Swift, the same model generates code for them too. Model once and keep the behavior consistent across gateways, services and firmware.
Sinelabore generates executable C++ from a SysML v2 textual model: state machines, and also the parts, ports and their interactions. Write the model in a text editor such as Visual Studio Code, and simulate the system early in design.
What customers say#
Sinelabore is used worldwide by companies of all sizes and in a wide range of industries, from multinational organizations to independent consultants.

“I like that I don’t have to draw the state machine, then separately implement it and keep these two synchronized; this saves me time and reduces the potential of bugs.”
Daniel Bedrenko, Software Developer, BPS…tec GmbH

“… wir nutzen Ihr Produkt schon seit vielen Jahren und es hat sich als zuverlässiges und wertvolles Werkzeug erwiesen …”
-
“We like your tool, in fact we will give an intro for another local company next week.”
A study by the Laboratory of Model Driven Engineering for Embedded Systems at CEA, France, “Complete Code Generation from UML State Machine”, reports: “… without optimization, Sinelabore generates the smallest executable size …”
