AUTOSAR : how this standard shaped the world of automotive electronics

Back in 2003 : automotive OEMs and suppliers founded the AUTOSAR consortium (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) in 2003. Its standardization would make it possible to integrate algorithms, in unmodified form, into the ECUs of different manufacturers, and this would support the distribution of functions to multiple ECUs much better.

Ten years later, AUTOSAR is still a hot topic, and with good reason. Over 100 companies have developed specifications in a number of working groups. Meanwhile, the fourth main version has been published. Vehicles with AUTOSAR are in production, many automotive OEMs are currently developing vehicles with AUTOSAR, and nearly all of the others are showing excited interest and will hop aboard the train sooner or later.

However, the full benefits of AUTOSAR can only be achieved when all of its elements are implemented systematically. And not only basic software.

AUTOSAR makes it possible to derive and share precise machine-readable specification requirements that come from a design of the total “vehicle electronics” system. Different suppliers can implement these requirements with assured processes and high efficiency.

The introduction of this new methodology requires a re-alignment of the methodologies of all participants in the supplier chain.

Ottmar Sirch (BMW) to discuss 48 volt at CESA 2012

Image
CESA speaker Top expert from BMW, Ottmar Sirch will make a presentation on 48 volt in Paris, during CESA 2012. He's focusing on dual voltage as the responsible for the Predevelopment of Vehicle Electrical Power Supply Systems. In Munich, the predevelopment projects cover all subjects of electrical power supply in vehicles with combustion engines as well as Hybrid and Electric vehicles. Mr Sirch came to SIA office in Suresnes, near Paris to share his vision for 48 v, a few days ago.

SASHA reduces cost of development of safety critical systems

Image
Last week, an important research project on functional safety just ended. Called SASHA (for Safety check of Automotive Software & Hardware Architecture), this two-year project driven by 6 partners was established to better understand the new standard for functional safety, ISO26262. This standard was applied to a real case of the development of an E-Gas system in order to create a tool for an optimized development process. It also included the modeling of a novel 32bit-microcontroller (ASIL C/D compatible) in TLM (Transaction Level Model). Such modeling allows to make software for a new microcontroller before its final hardware is available and to check details of the interior behavior of the device without opening it. Partners of the project were: - STMicroelectronics, Research partner and Coordinator, - Renault, Delphi, Knowledge Inside, Université de Compiegne and ESG France, Partners. The project was initiated inside Systematic and Moveo clusters and was funded by
