Standardized Basic System Software for Automotive Embedded Applications
چکیده
The number of electronic systems in modern cars is continuously growing. Currently the development of electronic systems, consisting of so-called electronic control units (ECUs) interconnected by a communication network, account for up to 40% of the overall development costs of a modern car. 50 70% of the development costs for a single ECU are related to software. Consequently, software plays an ever more important role, both for the implementation of customer related functions and the infrastructure. In order to benefit from software reuse, the major automotive companies have standardized (in the context of different consortia) this software infrastructure in form of layered architectures of software modules to a large degree. In this chapter we will present the most important consortia dealing with the specification of automotive standard system software, and we will describe their output, the standardized software architectures/modules.
