Methodology and Design Pattern for Converting AUTOSAR Simulink Models from SIL to HIL

Abstract

This project is a part of the Architecture For Future Electric-vehicles (AFFE) project. AFFE project is a research project funded by VINNOVA to bring out the next generation electric vehicles based on AUTomotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR). Modern vehicles are containing many electronic devices therefor the system complexity is also growing. Therefor this thesis project aims to find a methodology to develop software applications with instantiation possibility using Model-based Design environment, then do code generation and finally integrate into hardware without modifying the software applications configurations between different phases. For this purpose Simulink from Mathworks has been used as a Model Based Development tool for developing software applications, simulating and generating AUTOSAR compliant code. Mecel Picea Workbench has been used to make configuration for simulation in PC environment and hardware platform. The project ends with analysis of compatibility of different tools and configuration possibilities in different phases. The outcome of this project shows that the AUTOSAR standard is young and therefor compliant tools have limitations.
