Integrating basic software and runtime environments in an AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System
Architecture) development context, specifically using tools like Devanci (assuming you mean a tool or
environment that supports AUTOSAR development), involves several steps. AUTOSAR is a standardized
framework for automotive software, and the process can be quite detailed due to the specific nature of
automotive systems.
Here’s a high-level guide to integrating basic software and runtime environments in AUTOSAR
development:
### 1. **Understand AUTOSAR Basics**
- **AUTOSAR Layers**: Familiarize yourself with AUTOSAR’s layered architecture, which includes:
- **Application Layer**: Where application software components (SWCs) reside.
- **Runtime Environment (RTE)**: Interfaces between the application layer and the basic software
layer.
- **Basic Software (BSW)**: Provides services and abstractions to the application layer, including
modules like ECU Abstraction Layer, Services Layer, and Microcontroller Abstraction Layer.
- **Standard Specifications**: Be aware of the AUTOSAR specifications you need to adhere to, such as
AUTOSAR Classic Platform (CP) or Adaptive Platform (AP).
### 2. **Set Up Your Development Environment**
- **Install Development Tools**: Ensure you have the necessary tools for AUTOSAR development. This
typically includes:
- **AUTOSAR Authoring Tools**: For designing and configuring the AUTOSAR architecture.
- **ECU Configuration Tools**: For configuring the Basic Software (BSW) and RTE.
- **Compiler and Build Tools**: For compiling and building the software.
- **Configure Your Toolchain**: Set up your development environment, including compiler settings,
build configurations, and paths. This setup is crucial for integrating and testing AUTOSAR software.
### 3. **Develop and Configure Basic Software**
- **Define ECU Configuration**: Configure the ECU hardware and software environment. This involves
defining:
- **Microcontroller and Memory**: Define the microcontroller settings and memory configurations.
- **BSW Modules**: Configure basic software modules like the ECU Abstraction Layer (ECU AL),
Services Layer (SWS), and the Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL).
- **Set Up RTE Configuration**: Configure the RTE to facilitate communication between the
application software and basic software modules. This includes defining the RTE's communication
interfaces and service calls.
- **Generate RTE Code**: Use the AUTOSAR tool to generate RTE code based on the configurations
you have set up. This code will act as a middleware layer between your application software and the
basic software.
### 4. **Integrate Application Software Components (SWCs)**
- **Design SWCs**: Develop and configure the application software components according to the
AUTOSAR specifications. Define their behavior, interfaces, and data exchange requirements.
- **Integrate with RTE**: Integrate the SWCs with the RTE. This involves configuring the RTE to handle
communication between SWCs and basic software components.
- **Generate Code for SWCs**: Use the AUTOSAR tools to generate code for the application software
components. Ensure that the generated code integrates seamlessly with the RTE and basic software.
### 5. **Build and Test the System**
- **Compile the Software**: Compile the basic software, RTE, and application software components.
Ensure that all parts are built correctly and that there are no integration issues.
- **Deploy to ECU**: Flash the compiled software onto the ECU hardware. Ensure that the software is
correctly loaded and that the hardware is properly configured.
- **Run Tests**: Perform tests to verify that the integrated system works as expected. This includes
unit tests, integration tests, and system tests.
- **Debug and Optimize**: Use debugging tools to identify and fix any issues that arise. Optimize the
performance of the integrated system as needed.
### 6. **Documentation and Compliance**
- **Document Configuration**: Maintain documentation of your configurations, integrations, and any
changes made during development.
- **Ensure Compliance**: Verify that your implementation adheres to AUTOSAR standards and any
other relevant regulations or guidelines.
### Example Workflow Using Devanci Tools
If Devanci is a tool or environment you’re using, the specifics might vary, but generally:
1. **Import AUTOSAR Standard Files**: Load AUTOSAR standard files (ARXML) into Devanci.
2. **Configure Basic Software**: Use Devanci to set up and configure BSW modules.
3. **Generate RTE**: Generate RTE code from Devanci based on your configurations.
4. **Develop and Integrate SWCs**: Implement application software components and integrate them
with the generated RTE.
5. **Build and Test**: Compile, deploy, and test the complete system using Devanci’s build and
deployment tools.
