AUTOSAR® Software Architecture
AUTOSAR addresses the challenge of rising code complexity by providing open automotive software architecture. This architecture supports the development of standardized electronic systems that improve quality, performance, safety, and environmental friendliness. It also helps to simplify the process of updating software over the lifetime of a vehicle.
As a premium partner of the AUTOSAR standard, NXP offers production-intent Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) and Operating System (OS) software for use on our automotive-grade microcontrollers and processors.
Our software contributions to the architecture are developed according to the Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA) and the industry-specific standard Automotive SPICE®. For functional safety SafeAssure microcontrollers, the development process for MCAL software has been further enhanced to comply with ISO 26262.
AUTOSAR 3.0
For MPC56xx and S12/S12X MCUs
MCAL and OS software supporting CAN, LIN, and FlexRay communication protocols; also SPI interface between the MCU and external devices, like transceivers or SBCs.
AUTOSAR 4.0
For S32K, S12Zxx, and MPC5xx MCUs
MCAL and OS software supporting Ethernet in all layers of the communication stack. Including diagnostic log and trace capability in the system services layer; improved configuration schemata for system level, ECU level, and module level configuration descriptions too.
AUTOSAR 4.2
For S32R, S32V, S32K,and MPC5xx MCUs
MCAL software supporting an optimized communication service layer performance; including TCP/IP and the routing capability for larger data chunks.
AUTOSAR 4.3
For S32K and MPC574xx
MCAL software supporting Vehicle2X communication and extends the cryptographic features.
