Book DescriptionAUTOSAR has established itself as the foremost standard for developing Automotive ECUs. The increasing complexity driven by the growing demand for sophisticated features necessitates a robust, safe, secure, and scalable framework enabling faster and more efficient development for automotive software. For those new to AUTOSAR, its complexity, intricate architecture, and extensive standards can be daunting. This book addresses these challenges by explaining AUTOSAR's framework and architecture, showing you how to apply them through best practices and real-world use cases.
The book offers a comprehensive look at AUTOSAR’s objectives, guiding you through its layered architecture and exploring various stacks, components, and communication mechanisms. You’ll learn how to design, configure, and integrate AUTOSAR basic software (BSW) components, understand the real-time-environment (RTE), and master the principles of communications, diagnostics, security, and operating systems for developing high-quality, safety-critical, and efficient ECUs. With a clear understanding of how these elements work together, you'll be prepared to navigate the complexities of modern automotive software development.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build, implement, and manage complex automotive systems with enhanced efficiency.What you will learn
