This course covers every aspect of automotive software development, including the principles of AutoSAR, more complex AutoSAR ideas, non-AutoSAR use cases, and in-depth ECU abstraction development. You will examine the foundational software of AutoSAR, comprehend the subtleties of runnable, and develop knowledge of interfaces, connectors, and composition. Additionally, you will learn about real-time environments (RTE), such as sender-receiver, client-server, and communication RTE, and gain practical experience in planning events inside the RTE framework. The course also covers non-AutoSAR applications and goes beyond AutoSAR, concentrating on the Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL), ARXML configuration, and efficient project setup.
