Basic Knowledge on AUTOSAR

What is AUTOSAR  ?

AUTOSAR stands for AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture. It is a worldwide development partnership of vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and other companies from the electronics, semiconductor and software industry.

AUTOSAR Target and Goal
  • Define open reference architecture for ECU software
  • Specify a clear interface between basis software components and application
  • Reusability
  • Growing software quality
Advantages of AUTOSAR
  • Standardized and uniquely-specified interfaces basic software modules help to master the increasing complexity 
  • The consequence is re-usability, efficiency and easy handling of electronic in the automobile.

Benefits for OEM, Supplier, ToolProvider, New Player

Layered Architecture:

The AUTOSAR Architecture distinguishes on the highest abstraction level between three software layers: Application, Runtime Environment and Basic Software which run on a Microcontroller.

The AUTOSAR Basic Software is further divided in the layers: Services, ECU Abstraction, Microcontroller Abstraction and Complex Drivers.

The Basic Software Layers are further divided into functional groups. Examples of Services are System, Memory and Communication Services.
