SCALABLE AUTOSAR 3.1 SOFTWARE FOR THE RENESAS R32C MICROCONTROLLER


EB AUTOSAR basic software meets the specifications of the Manufacturer Software Initiative HIS (Hersteller Initiative Software)

 

Erlangen, Germany, February 18, 2010 - EB (Elektrobit) has integrated the new R32C Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) by Renesas Technology Corp. into the AUTOSAR 3.1 basic software EB tresos AutoCore. Automobile manufacturers and suppliers will thus benefit, starting in late March 2010, from fully integrated AUTOSAR software for the R32C microcontroller series from Renesas, which corresponds to the specification of the Manufacturer Software Initiative HIS of the German OEMs.

 

With this collaboration, EB and Renesas are deepening their many years of cooperation, since both companies already have common AUTOSAR 2.1 projects in series development. The new cooperation will create an HIS-compatible version of EB tresos AutoCore for the Renesas R32C series. Only a single tool, EB tresos Studio , is needed to configure the software package in a user-friendly manner. EB tresos AutoCore has also been thoroughly tested and validated on the R32C microcontroller.

 

The Manufacturer Software Initiative HIS of the German OEMs has published a specification for the scaling of AUTOSAR basic software. Its goal is to enable the use of small CPUs in simple electronic control units (ECUs) in order to reduce hardware costs. "With the integration of the R32C MCAL into EB tresos AutoCore 3.1, we now offer a powerful, scalable solution that is perfectly adapted to the requirements of German OEMs", said Dirk Diekhoff, Director of the EB tresos product line at EB.

 

The HIS scalable AUTOSAR 3.1 software will be available at the end of the first quarter of 2010.
