AUTOSAR stands for Automotive open system architecture, It is a standard for software architecture for Automotive applications. It is a consortium formed by OEMs, suppliers, tool developers, and semiconductor vendors.

AUTOSAR is now the worldwide standard for Automotive application development, almost all the OEMs and Automotive ECUs developers are part of the AUTOSAR consortium.

This course is ideally suited for a beginner of AUTOSAR, who wants to learn the basics of AUTOSAR fundamentals and AUTOSAR architecture. In this course, you will learn about the Basic software modules such as MCAL(Microcontroller abstraction layer), ECU abstraction layer, Service layer, SWCs, RTE, VFB, AUTOSAR concepts such as Multicore, E2E, Partial networking concept, J1939, Autosar methodology, tools and technologies involved in the development of AUTOSAR compliant ECUs. Motivation for the development of AUTOSAR, Autosar partnership, objectives goals, benefits, major players in Autosar. Autosar workflow, Communication flow, RTE, SWCs, MCAL, ECU abstraction layer, application layer, service layer.

The course also discusses Inter ECU communication and Intra ECU communication. There are basically two types of AUTOSAR frame works classic AUTOSAR and Adaptive AUTOSAR. Differences between the two frameworks are also discussed in the course. We also discuss AUTOSAR ECU executables. Tools required to generate the ECU executable and AUTOSAR workflow about the generation with respect to OEMs part and suppliers part.
