Why should I care about AUTOSAR?

Q: “I care about IVI. AUTOSAR excludes IVI.

Why should I care?”

A: Auto manufacturers are seeing the need to

interface their complex ECUs, like IVI , into an
AUTOSAR environment. This presentation focuses
on this need.

 Briefly – What is AUTOSAR?
AUTOSAR is a AUTOSAR addresses
partnership, not increasing complexity
unlike GENIVI: 202 and R&D costs
members: core, through well defined
premium, associate interfaces,
and development abstractions and
partners. software reuse.
Cooperate on standards, compete on implementation

 AoL: What is the point?

• Preserve investments in AUTOSAR

• Reuse Software Components (SW-C)
• Ensure Consistent Behavior
• Augment Linux with AUTOSAR functionality: diagnostics,
vehicle system communication, mode management (Off,
Accessory, Ignition)
• Expose standard interfaces between Linux and
AUTOSAR
• Increased design flexibility

 Classic AUTOSAR vs Adaptive AUTOSAR

 Classic AUTOSAR
— XML configuration of System and ECUs
— Detailed Software specifications
— Static configuration (once in car, functionality does not change)
 Adaptive AUTOSAR
— XML configuration of System and ECUs
— Only interface specifications
— Will release Implementations
— Service oriented dynamic behavior
