AUTOSAR Basic Software - A Training Course

Day 1: Introduction and AUTOSAR Architecture Overview

• Introduction to the AUTOSAR Classic Platform for government applications.
• Examination of software layers and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) architecture.
• Role of Basic Software (BSW) and layered architecture in supporting robust automotive systems.
• Overview of the Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) for enhanced hardware abstraction.
• Introduction to AUTOSAR configuration methodology, including XML-based workflows.
• Overview of ETAS ISOLAR-A and B tools for government use.

Day 2: Services and ECU Abstraction Layers

• Comprehensive overview of the Service Layer in AUTOSAR.
• Functionality and implementation of the Watchdog Manager (WdgM).
• Detailed exploration of the Diagnostic Event Manager (DEM) for effective fault management.
• Role of the NVRAM Manager (NvM) in data persistence.
• Examination of the ECU Abstraction Layer and its importance in system design.
• Understanding I/O hardware interfaces for enhanced connectivity.
• Communication and memory abstraction techniques.
• Basics of the AUTOSAR OS, including tasks, scheduling, and events.

Day 3: Communication Stack and Runtime Environment

• Fundamentals of the COM Stack, including PDU Router (PDUR), COM, and CAN/LIN drivers.
• Overview of AUTOSAR OS components, such as tasks, scheduling, and event handling.
• Introduction to the Runtime Environment (RTE) and its role in integrating application software with BSW.
• Detailed process for generating the RTE for government applications.

Day 4: System Integration and Configuration Practice

• Practical use of configuration tools, including detailed sessions with ETAS ISOLAR-A and B.
• Workflow for system configuration and integration in government projects.
• Techniques for integrating application software components (SWCs) into the system.
• Strategies for debugging and troubleshooting integration issues.
• Best practices for AUTOSAR project workflows, tailored for government use.

Setup Requirements (must be confirmed):

Software:

• ETAS ISOLAR-A and/or ISOLAR-B (latest version) for government applications.
• AUTOSAR schema (e.g., 4.2.x or 4.3.x depending on the project).
• Compiler toolchain (e.g., GNU ARM or IAR for code generation and simulation).
• Demo BSW project provided by ETAS or a custom setup.
• XML/XSD validation tools (optional).

Hardware (if onsite or hybrid):

• Evaluation board (e.g., Infineon TriCore AURIX or NXP S32K) for hands-on practice.
• Debugger (Lauterbach, iSYSTEM, or PEmicro) for real-time diagnostics.
• CAN interface (USB-to-CAN if physical bus is simulated).
