Book Description

AUTOSAR has become the standard for developing automotive ECUs, driven by the demand for increasingly sophisticated features that require a robust, safe, secure, and scalable framework for efficient development for automotive software. For those new to AUTOSAR, its complexity, intricate architecture, and extensive standards can be daunting. With twelve years of experience in the automotive software industry, Hossam Soffar brings his unparalleled expertise to this essential AUTOSAR guide, addressing these challenges by explaining AUTOSAR’s framework, architecture, and their application through best practices and real-world use cases.

This book comprehensively explores AUTOSAR’s objectives, guiding you through its layered architecture and various stacks, components, and communication mechanisms. You’ll learn how to design, configure, and integrate AUTOSAR Basic Software (BSW) components, understand the real-time-environment (RTE), and master the principles of communications, diagnostics, security, and operating systems, all of which is essential for developing high-quality, safety-critical, and efficient ECUs. With a clear understanding of how these elements work together, you’ll be equipped to navigate the complexities of modern automotive software development to build, implement, and manage automotive systems with enhanced efficiency.

What you will learn

• Master the core principles, layered architecture, key components, and benefits of AUTOSAR
• Explore AUTOSAR-supported data exchange formats, memory management, and operating systems
• Get to grips with the design and implementation process of software components within AUTOSAR
