Now Autosar gets really useful 01/05/2007
 
Release 2.1 provides the results from the first phase of the Autosar (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) standardisation protocol. It is available for the partners and members for automotive applications and is the result of nearly three years’ work.

These specifications provide the basis for the development of software that complies with Autosar’s open architecture. The update specifications incorporate practical experience from the internal validation phase. Following the latest additions, the release has now grown to more than 120 documents. Along with additions to the specifications already finalised in the previous release on software architecture components such as basic software and runtime environment, the new release now also includes documents on development methodology and templates.

In addition, the documents on the maintenance and conformance test process have been expanded and the first descriptions for application interfaces have been introduced.

Spokesman Helmut Fennel said: “Autosar provides a stable basis for further functional innovation to meet the future challenges in automotive development – namely environmental protection and extensive safety.”
