AUTOSAR Components

ASCET provides the following types of database/workspace items for use with AUTOSAR.

Software components – the unit of distribution in an AUTOSAR system; a software component consists of
- a complete formal SWC description that indicates how the infrastructure of the component must be configured,
- an SWC implementation that contains the functionality (in the form of C code or object code).
Software components are specified either graphically as block diagrams, or in ESDL code.

SenderReceiver interfaces – used to specify sender-receiver communication between AUTOSAR components.
NVData interfaces – same as SenderReceiver interfaces, but all interface elements are non-volatile.
ClientServer interfaces – used to specify client-server communication between AUTOSAR components.
Calibration interfaces – used for communication with Calibration components.
Mode Groups – these items represents AUTOSAR mode declaration groups used to communicate modes.
