AUTOSAR – When to use Client/Server or Sender/Receiver communication?
Introduction In AUTOSAR Classic, communication between software components is vital for building complex automotive systems. AUTOSAR provides various interfaces to facilitate communication and the two fundamental ones are AUTOSAR Sender-Receiver or Client-Server interfaces. Each interface type has distinct characteristics and attributes that make them suitable for different scenarios. In this article, we will present each […]
Automatic Test of AUTOSAR Code Replacement Library Routines at Ford Motor Company
The Journey – from idea to solution It seems like every day more and more software teams are developing software in a model-based way, using Simulink models and auto-generated c-code… and Ford is no different. Many low-level math and interpolation routines have been developed by the central software team as libraries that can be used […]
AUTOSAR – What is the Best Approach to Handle Reusable Code?
Component reuse is a common use case in any type of software and this is particularly true in automotive applications. Consider the equipment in the cars such as wheels, seats, doors, lights, clutches (e.g., in a dual-clutch transmission), and so on. They are controlled by software and as they exist by pairs, it makes sense […]
AUTOSAR – What Every Function Developer Should Know…
In recent decades, the demands for designing smarter and safer vehicles has caused a significant increase in the size and complexity of the automotive systems software. In a modern high-end passenger car, more than 100 million software lines of code (SLoC) are embedded and distributed across as many as 80 ECUs communicating in a network […]
