Course content

8 Chapters • 38 LessonsDuration between 4 and 360 hours (you decide)

Chapter 1See details

Introduction to AUTOSAR Architecture

  • Lesson 1 • Key AUTOSAR Concepts and Terminology

    Defines core vocabulary including SWC, port, interface, and composition. Precise terminology is required to read AUTOSAR specifications and tooling.

  • Lesson 2 • AUTOSAR Classic Platform Overview

    Introduces the layered Classic Platform stack from hardware to application. Provides the structural map students reference throughout the course.

  • Lesson 3 • AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform Overview

    Presents the service-oriented Adaptive Platform designed for high-compute ECUs. Contrasts with Classic Platform to clarify when each is appropriate.

  • Lesson 4 • Automotive Software Challenges and AUTOSAR Origins

    Covers the complexity drivers that led to AUTOSAR's creation and its standardisation goals. Sets the context for every architectural decision studied later.

Chapter 2See details

AUTOSAR Methodology and Development Process

  • Lesson 1 • AUTOSAR Schema and ARXML Structure

    Teaches the XML schema that governs all AUTOSAR configuration files. Students gain ability to read, validate, and navigate ARXML documents.

  • Lesson 2 • Roles and Responsibilities in AUTOSAR Projects

    Defines OEM, Tier-1 supplier, and tool vendor responsibilities within the methodology. Clarifies ownership of each ARXML artifact type.

  • Lesson 3 • Three-Phase AUTOSAR Methodology

    Explains system design, ECU mapping, and ECU integration phases in sequence. Grounds all later tool and configuration work in a process framework.

  • Lesson 4 • Toolchain Overview and Selection

    Surveys major AUTOSAR toolchains and their functional scope. Enables informed tool selection decisions for different project contexts.

Chapter 3See details

Software Component Design and Modeling

  • Lesson 1 • SWC Composition and System Assembly

    Assembles individual SWCs into compositions and connects ports via connectors. Composition modelling is the bridge between component design and system design.

  • Lesson 2 • Data Types and Data Constraints

    Defines AUTOSAR primitive, composite, and implementation data types with constraints. Consistent data typing prevents integration errors across SWC boundaries.

  • Lesson 3 • Internal Behaviour and Runnable Design

    Models runnables, inter-runnable variables, and exclusive areas within an SWC. Internal behaviour specification drives OS task mapping and scheduling.

  • Lesson 4 • Port and Interface Design

    Covers sender-receiver, client-server, and parameter interfaces with their port variants. Port design directly controls data flow and service access patterns.

  • Lesson 5 • Software Component Types and Selection

    Distinguishes application, sensor-actuator, service, and parameter SWC types. Correct type selection determines integration constraints downstream.

Chapter 4See details

Runtime Environment Configuration

  • Lesson 1 • Mapping SWCs to ECU Resources

    Assigns SWC instances to ECUs and maps runnables to OS tasks and alarms. Mapping decisions directly affect CPU load and scheduling behaviour.

  • Lesson 2 • RTE Generation and Validation

    Runs the RTE generator, interprets output, and validates generated code. Validation catches mapping errors before BSW integration begins.

  • Lesson 3 • Sender-Receiver Communication via RTE

    Configures queued and non-queued sender-receiver communication through the RTE. Correct configuration prevents data loss and race conditions.

  • Lesson 4 • RTE Architecture and Responsibilities

    Explains how the RTE mediates between SWCs and the BSW communication stack. Understanding RTE scope prevents misuse of direct BSW API calls.

  • Lesson 5 • Client-Server Communication via RTE

    Sets up synchronous and asynchronous client-server calls through the RTE. Asynchronous patterns require careful error and result handling.

Chapter 5See details

Basic Software Modules and Configuration

  • Lesson 1 • OS Module Configuration

    Configures AUTOSAR OS tasks, alarms, resources, and ISRs for the target ECU. OS configuration directly determines scheduling correctness and timing behaviour.

  • Lesson 2 • NvM and Memory Stack Configuration

    Configures NvM, MemIf, Fee, and Ea for non-volatile data management. Correct NvM configuration ensures data integrity across power cycles.

  • Lesson 3 • Communication Stack Configuration

    Configures Com, PduR, CanIf, and Can modules for CAN-based communication. The communication stack carries all inter-ECU signals and diagnostics.

  • Lesson 4 • MCAL Module Configuration

    Configures Port, Dio, Adc, Pwm, and Spi MCAL drivers for target hardware. MCAL is the hardware-specific foundation all upper layers depend on.

  • Lesson 5 • ECU Abstraction Layer Modules

    Configures IoHwAb, WdgIf, and MemIf abstraction modules above the MCAL. Abstraction modules decouple application logic from hardware specifics.

Chapter 6See details

Diagnostics and Communication Protocols

  • Lesson 1 • Diagnostic Event Manager Configuration

    Configures Dem for fault storage, DTC management, and event debouncing. Dem feeds Dcm with fault data required for regulatory compliance.

  • Lesson 2 • Transport Protocol Layer Configuration

    Configures CanTp and LinTp for segmented diagnostic message transport. Transport layer correctness is prerequisite for reliable Dcm operation.

  • Lesson 3 • Ethernet and SOME/IP Stack Overview

    Introduces EthIf, SoAd, and SD modules for Ethernet-based service communication. Ethernet stacks are increasingly required for gateway and ADAS ECUs.

  • Lesson 4 • Diagnostic Communication Manager Configuration

    Configures Dcm for UDS service handling, session control, and security access. Dcm is the gateway for all tester-to-ECU diagnostic interactions.

  • Lesson 5 • LIN Stack Configuration

    Configures LinIf, LinSM, and Lin driver for LIN cluster communication. LIN is widely used for body electronics and sensor networks.

Chapter 7See details

AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform Deep Dive

  • Lesson 1 • ara::com Service-Oriented Communication

    Implements publish-subscribe and request-response patterns using ara::com APIs. ara::com is the primary inter-application communication mechanism in Adaptive.

  • Lesson 2 • Execution Management and Application Lifecycle

    Configures Execution Management manifests and implements state machine transitions. Correct lifecycle management prevents resource conflicts between Adaptive applications.

  • Lesson 3 • Adaptive Platform Architecture Details

    Examines the Adaptive Platform functional clusters and their interdependencies. Architectural clarity is required before configuring any Adaptive service.

  • Lesson 4 • Adaptive Platform Integration and Testing

    Integrates multiple Adaptive applications and validates inter-service communication. Integration testing confirms manifest consistency and runtime behaviour.

  • Lesson 5 • Adaptive Diagnostics with ara::diag

    Implements UDS diagnostic conversations and DTC reporting using ara::diag APIs. Adaptive diagnostics integrate with the same Dem concepts used in Classic.

Chapter 8See details

System Integration, Testing, and Validation

  • Lesson 1 • Calibration and Post-Build Configuration

    Configures AUTOSAR parameter components and integrates calibration data management. Post-build parameters allow field tuning without ECU reflashing.

  • Lesson 2 • Unit and Integration Testing Strategies

    Designs unit tests for runnables and integration tests for BSW-SWC interactions. Structured testing reduces regression risk during iterative development.

  • Lesson 3 • Static Analysis and Code Quality

    Applies MISRA-C rules and AUTOSAR C++ guidelines to generated and handwritten code. Static analysis catches defects before expensive hardware testing.

  • Lesson 4 • ECU Integration Build Process

    Assembles generated BSW, RTE, and SWC code into a linked ECU binary. Build process mastery prevents integration failures caused by linker and memory errors.

  • Lesson 5 • Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

    Validates ECU behaviour using HIL simulation of sensors, actuators, and bus traffic. HIL testing exposes timing and communication defects not visible in simulation.
