AUTOSAR

AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) is an open and standardized automotive software architecture, jointly developed by automobile manufacturers, suppliers, and tool developers. 

As an AUTOSAR Premium Member, The MathWorks actively participates in the development of the standard. One goal is to define, document, and demonstrate how engineers can use the current versions of MathWorks products (including Simulink, Stateflow, Real-Time Workshop, and Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder) in a development process to generate software components that interact with the AUTOSAR Runtime Environment.

Simulink provides built-in functionality for developing AUTOSAR Software Components. Using Simulink and Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder, engineers can import and export AUTOSAR Software Component descriptions and generate AUTOSAR-compliant production code in one integrated environment. Simulink supports AUTOSAR using model configuration settings rather than AUTOSAR-specific blocks. As a result, a single Simulink model can be used as a golden reference for simulation, rapid prototyping, and production code generation in both AUTOSAR and non-AUTOSAR environments.
