Course Overview
This course introduces learners to the architecture, design patterns, and development methodologies of the AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture (AUTOSAR) standard. It prepares engineers and software developers to understand the software layer integration, configuration, and abstraction techniques used in modern automotive embedded systems.
Key Learning Highlights
Understand the layered architecture and core principles of AUTOSAR.
Learn software component design and configuration workflows.
Explore abstraction techniques for hardware-independent development.
Gain insights into integration across ECUs and vehicle platforms.
Apply AUTOSAR concepts to modern automotive embedded systems.
Tools & Platforms
AUTOSAR Authoring Tools
Basic XML Editors for ARXML Configuration
Embedded C Environment
Simulation/Emulation using open-source AUTOSAR platforms
Learning Outcome
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
Explain the layered architecture of AUTOSAR and its evolution.
Identify key software modules and their interconnections within the AUTOSAR stack.
Understand runnable entities, ports, interfaces, connectors, and software compositions.
Describe the function and role of the Real-Time Environment (RTE), including sender-receiver and client-server patterns.
Implement and configure Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) components and ARXML configuration.
Set up and structure AUTOSAR-compliant automotive software projects.
Master the course with just 5 Modules
The course introduces learners to AUTOSAR and automotive software architecture, covering the motivation, benefits, and layered structure, along with ECU abstraction and software component design. It explores software design using AUTOSAR components, including runnables, ports, interfaces, connectors, and communication protocols such as Sender-Receiver and Client-Server models. Learners will understand the Real-Time Environment (RTE), event planning, scheduling, and runtime behavior. Advanced topics include the Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL), ARXML configuration, project integration, and transitioning between AUTOSAR and non-AUTOSAR systems.
