Application SWC and Its interfaces with RTE

Nithyanand — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 07:57:26 +0000

Hello Readers,

My name is Nithyanand T, and I work at Luxoft India as a Junior Software Developer. Luxoft has given me several opportunities to work on various projects, which has inspired me to learn the essential processes involved in developing AUTOSAR Modulеs and Add-Ons in Autosar Application SWC and Its interfaces with RTE.

Introduction

In AUTOSAR, the application is divided into different SWCs. A SWC or software component is a component that has application logic. In AUTOSAR, functions are encapsulated in SWC. For example the use of electric window in car, for which a separate SWC fulfills this function. SWCs communicate with each other or access lower layer using RTE.

AUTOSAR has categorize SWCs based on its use into following types:

Application SWC- It is normal SWC which has only application or part of this.

Sensor Actuator SWC- This is a special type of SWC that deals with sensors or actuators.

Parameter SWC- This SWC is used to share calibration parameters to external devices. Unlike an Application SWC or SensorActuator SWC, these SWCs have no internal workings.

Composition SWC- Composition is nothing but a group of SWCs which is assigned to a single ECU during System Configuration Such grouping helps in abstracting the SWCs and standardizing software development is what AUTOSAR aims for. This grouping is logical that is, no memory is used for such a grouping.

Service Proxy SWC- This will act as proxy to provide internal services to one or more remote ECUs. Its main use is to share vehicle status information with the entire system.

Service SWC: It provides services defined by BSW module AUTOSAR.

ECU Abstraction SWC- This type of SWC allows access to I/O by communicating directly into specific BSW modules Other SWCs cannot be used to access I/O only this one can be used.

Complex Device Driver SWC- This SWC is used to develop complex device drivers (CDD) for peripherals that are not supported by AUTOSAR or have time-critical functions.

Nvblock SWC- This SWC is used to communicate with NVRAM or memory.

Assembly Connector:

These connectors are used when communication between SWCs is required in a composite SWC. These connectors connect the ports of the SWCs to be connected. These connectors is the next step of port configuration all ports in the SWCs to be connected are connected to the configuration connectors. You will use this while System Configuration.

Delegation Connector:

Delegation Connectors are used when some ports of SWCs need to be exposed to outer world of Composition SWC this exposure can be connection with other SWCs using Assembly connectors or connection with BSW. This was because AUTOSAR not allow SWCs to communicate directly outside the compound so delegation connectors are used to communicate outside the compound and communicate data from the internal SWCs to the outside world. Again, you use this term when configuring the system.

Example for Assembly and Delegation connection:

Runnable Entity:

The executable is the part of the SWC where the logic of the behavior of the application is written. Runnable is analogous to functions in C. In AUTOSAR, we create Runnable in a SWC during configuration and that runnable or function skeleton is generated in respective source files of SWCs.The name of the Runnable function is the same as what we give to the Runnable function during the definition. We have to write our code in this function/executable file which will then be executed by AUTOSAR OS. This code is an application that SWC must execute. Executables also have variables, and some executables also have trigger points that "call" or run the executable when a certain condition is met. Such conditions can be specified during configuration, the conditions can be: Init Runnable, which is called on initialization, a regular call to a runnable that can be used to send a periodic data, different RTE events based triggering, etc.

Below is the example of runnable skeleton generated after configuration, this runnable is of Indicator SWC named Runnable1. Such runnable skeletons are generated in SWC.c files.

/Indicator.c/
void Runnable1(){
/runnable logic code here/
}

The image above shows how executables are encapsulated in a SWC and how other SWCs are encapsulated by a composition. Looking at this image, we can understand how well AUTOSAR summarizes and groups things for standardization. As we know, SWC can be reserved for each ECU function, but its behavior or functionality implementation is done using Runnable.

There are generally three types of runnables:

Init Executable: This executable is called in ECU Initialization stage.

Periodic Executable: This executable is used when we need to run this executable from time to time to perform some function regularly.

Server Executable- This executable is used to implement the client/server port interface server. Executable settings can be configured to run on RTE events, for example:

Runnable can be configured to run on RTE events such as:

Time Event- As explained above, this event starts/triggers a special executable when a specified time is reached and executes the logic written in it. This is related to the timer interrupt we use in general embedded programming, where an ISR is called whenever the timer overflows.

Received Data Event- As the name suggests, this event fires an executable whenever the ports receive data.

Action Invoked Event:This event is invoked by the client when invoking the server, which can be executed on the client/server port interface.

State Change Event- When the state of the ECU is changed, an executable file can be started to do some work. For example, the ECU shutdown mode, if the ECU needs to do some work before shutting down, such an event must be connected to an executable that performs the work before shutting down.

Data Received Error Event: Again, this is self-explanatory. If an error occurs while receiving data, the executable can be called to take action on such an event.

Data Send Completed event: This event launches an executable file when data is successfully sent, so that actions can be taken after the data transfer is complete.

Conclusion:
In this article I have talked about Application software components and its interfaces with the help of RTE more about RTE, I will be covering in the upcoming article.

ASWC data types and its port interfaces

Nithyanand — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 07:32:33 +0000

Hello Readers,

Data Types in Application Software Component:

Application Data type- Application Data Type should be defined for all port interfaces that we create for software component type. It is abstract data type (degrees, kms etc). The application data type must be combined with the Implementation data type to generate RTE.

Implementation Data type: Implementation Data Type exists on the code level. A specific data type used in C (Boolean, uint8, etc.).The Implementation data type is related to the base data type.

Base data Type: The base type is not required if the implementation type is a known platform type.

If you have a specific monitor temperature for application software, an application data type temperature is created and can be mapped to an application data type (eg unitt8).

TYPES OF APPLICATION INTERFACES IN AUTOSAR

AUTOSAR supports six types of application port interfaces They are.

• Sender Receiver port Interface(ASWC)
• Client Server Port Interface
• Calibration Port Interface
• Mode Port Interface
• NV Data Port Interface
• Trigger Interface

Port interface: Each software port (all types of software - application or BSW) is connected to a port interface. The user interface of a port describes information (such as structure) or functionality that a software component provides or requests through that port. A port interface describes the data provided or required by a software component port.

Sender-Receiver Port Interface: A sender-receiver (S/R) interface is a port interface used for communication between a transmitter and a receiver. If you want to exchange data (eg variables, structure) between software components, you use the sender receiver interface.

Client Server Port Interface: Client Server Interface (C/S) is equivalent to Sender-Receiver interface. Instead of defining the data to be passed between software components, an interface defines a set of operations that can be invoked based on a client-server model. Here, the client initiates communication and requests the server to provide a service.The starting direction of the message can be used to identify whether the AUTOSAR software component is a client or a server.

Calibration Port Interface: The calibration port user interface allows software components to access either standard data, fixed data, or calibration data. It should be noted that the compatibility rules apply depending on the usage type (ie fixed, permanent or equivalent). For example, a calibration port interface that uses a fixed deployment policy must not connect to a parameter SW component port if the provider uses a variable data implementation (i.e. standard).

NVData Port Interface: It provides element-level access (read-only or read/write) to persistent data. If we want to access the NV BLOCK through NVRAM or from an application software or NVM software component, we use the NVData port interface.

Mode Port Interface: The state change interface is used to inform a software component about the state of the application. Mode Management (Communication Manager, BSW Manager) provides modes that allow mode users to customize actions according to modes or synchronize functions with mode switches. Software components access state and request state changes through the mode port.

Trigger Interface: Trigger interface allows software components to trigger the execution of software components. The purpose of the trigger interface is to enable fast response times for a trigger that may occur randomly or with a variable cycle time. Example: Start based on crankshaft and camshaft position.

SENDER RECEIVER COMMUNICATION IN AUTOSAR

Sender-receiver communication enables the exchange of data/information, where the sender shares information with one or more recipients. We can use the Sender Receiver interface to exchange data, exchange events and status groups.

The Sender-receiver interface associated with these ports consists of data elements that define the information sent by the transmitter and received by the receivers. The data type can be something very simple (eg "integer") or a complex (perhaps large) data type (e.g. an array or a string).

SenderReceiverPortInterface is a traditional interface used to send and receive signals for cars. It integrates well with buses like CAN and LIN (which are mainly signal-based buses).

The RTE function prefixes are:

Rte_Write (P-Port, Non-Queued)
Rte_Read (R-Port, Non-Queued)
Rte_Send (P-Port, Queued)
Rte_Receive (R-Port, Queued)

ClientServerPortInterface:

Software components use ClientServer ports when they request services in BSW (typically through service mapping) or another software component. A function call can be set to be either synchronous or asynchronous via configuration.

The RTE function prefixes are:

Rte_Call (R-Port)
For server ports (or P-ports), the user can choose any function name as long as the RTE knows it at generation time.

ParameterPortInterface:

Parameter ports are used for parameter data, sometimes called calibration data. These are usually read-only values that control the behavior of software components.

The RTE function prefixes are:

Rte_Prm (R-Port)

ModeSwitchPortInterface:

Mode ports are used to respond to ECU status changes.

The RTE function prefixes are:

Rte_Mode (R-Port)
Rte_Switch (P-Port)

NvDataPortInterface:

The non volatile data port interface is only used by the NvBlock Software Component.

Conclusion:
AUTOSAR affords a complete framework for automotive software. It defines special facts kinds and APIs to make certain standardized communique and functionality. The distinction among utility data types, implementation data types, and middle data types lets in for abstraction and versatility in software improvement. Six utility interface kinds, such as transmitter-receiver, purchaser-server, calibration, fame, NV records and trigger interfaces, meet the various communication and capability requirements of the car ecosystem. This dependent approach, with unique RTE characteristic prefixes for every interface kind, allows green and standardized software development for automotive programs.

Exploring Unit test and Google test

Nithyanand — Mon, 26 Feb 2024 05:43:37 +0000

Hi Readers, I am Nithyanand, working as Junior software engineer at Luxoft. In this article, I have tried to give a Introduction to Unit Testing and Google Testing Framework.

Testing:

Testing is the process of verifying the software performs to the specifications.
The developer will execute the program with selected subset of all the possible input, and compares the actual output with the expected output.
Benefits of testing include

Preventing bugs

Reducing development costs and improving performance so on..

What is Unit Testing?

Unit testing is a type of software testing where individual units or components of a software are tested. The purpose is to validate that each unit of the software code performs as expected. Unit Testing is done during the development (coding phase) of an application by the developers. Unit Tests isolate a section of code and verify its correctness. A unit may be an individual function, method, procedure, module, or object.
In SDLC, STLC, V Model, Unit testing is first level of testing done before integration testing. Unit testing is a White Box testing technique that is usually performed by the developer.

Why unit testing?

Unit Testing is important because software developers sometimes try saving time doing minimal unit testing and this is myth because inappropriate unit testing leads to high cost Defect fixing during System Testing, Integration Testing and even Beta Testing after application is built. If proper unit testing is done in early development, then it saves time and money in the end.

Obviously tests improve the quality of your code, it helps the developers to understand the testing code base and enables them to make changes quickly.

Unit tests help with code re-use.

Give developers confidence when adding behavior or making fixes.

How to do Unit Testing?

In order to do Unit Testing, developers write a section of code to test a specific function in software application. Developers can also isolate this function to test more rigorously which reveals unnecessary dependencies between function being tested and other units so the dependencies can be eliminated. Developers generally use Unit Test framework to develop automated test cases for unit testing.
The Unit Testing simply stated, they are software tools to support writing and running unit tests, including a foundation on which to build tests and the functionality to execute the tests and report their results.

What is Google testing?

It is a test framework, The google test is a library for writing the unit test for C++ or Google test is a one type of software tool for writing as well as running the unit test.

In google testing the code is tested line-by-line.

It is based on xUnit architecture which is a set of Frameworks for programming and automated execution of test cases.

Why Google testing?

Google Test helps us to write better C++ tests.

Independent and Repeatable: Google test isolates the tests by running each of them on a different object.

Portable and Reusable: Google test works on different Oses (Linux, Windows, or a Mac), with different compilers.

When tests fail, it will provide much information about the problem, so it will be easy to solve the issues.

Basic concepts and Assertions in Google test :
Assertions are statements that check whether a condition is true. An assertion's result can be

Success
2.Nonfatal failure, or fatal failure

Note :- If the fatal failure occurs, it will abort the current function else the program continues normally.

Assertions in tests used to verify the behavior of the tested code. If a test has a failed assertion, then it fails else it succeeds.

These assertions do basic true/false condition testing.

List of rational operator for Google testing :

Simple tests

To write test cases:

The test file shoulde be having the #include "gtest/gtest.h"

Use the macro TEST_F() for defining and naming a test function, These are ordinary C++ functions that don't return a value.

We can use various Google Test assertions to check values of the tests.

Test results will be based on assertions, if any assertions in the test fails Then the entire test fails else it succeeds.

Note :- Can write many assertions in single test case.

Example:-

include "gtest/gtest.h"
class SumTest: public ::testing::Test
{
public:
SumTest() {};
virtual ~SumTest() {};
/// SetUp will be called before each test that uses this fixture.
virtual void SetUp() {};
/// Will be called after each test if the test uses this fixture.
virtual void TearDown() {};
};

// Test of sum.
TEST_F(SumTest, Test_T1) {
EXPECT_EQ(2, sum(1 + 1));
EXPECT_LT(3, sum(2 + 2));
EXPECT_GT(4, sum(3 + 0);
EXPECT_NQ(5, sum(8 + 1);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}

Google test environment:

Actual testcases:

Conclusion:

In the article i explained basics of the unit testing and google testing. Getting started with Google Test is pretty easy.It has more features than other tests.Google test can be used to prevent the bugs at the intial stage, which will reduce the more debuging time and cost in the end.
This article just scratches the surface of the Google C++ Testing Framework. Detailed documentation about the framework is available from the Google site.

Scalable service-Oriented MiddlewarE over IP

Nithyanand — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 06:30:01 +0000

My name is Nithyanand T and I am working as Software Engineer at Luxoft India. In this article I will be providing the detailed information towards Some/IP. Luxoft has provided me with multiple opportunity to work on various projects where Some/IP is one among them.

Introduction
Today's cars are not just a means of transportation and transportation; vehicles are now designed full of features to make the journey a luxurious experience. All this is achieved by integrating advanced electronics into the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit). This new scenario significantly changed the communication between different ECUs. Traditional automotive protocols such as CAN, MOST, LIN, and Flexray are signal-based communication protocols, and these protocols have some significant limitations, as noted below.

Traditional protocols such as CAN, LIN, MOST and Flexray have limited bandwidth. These protocols only apply to static systems that have not undergone software updates or upgrades during their lifetime. In these protocols, data is transferred between the sender and receiver where ever an event occurs. The receiver may not need the information for every event. Therefore, in these protocols, there is always additional data in the communication channel that cannot be avoided or managed in any way. Conventional protocols such as CAN, LIN, MOST and Flexray are signal-based communication protocols and do not ensure interoperability between different operating systems, embedded firmware, data interfaces and application software. Due to the aforementioned limitations of traditional automotive communication protocols, in 2011 the BMW Group launched a middleware protocol for data transfer between different heterogeneous units of any ECU, Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP (SOME/Ip).
This protocol's are:

Scalable: This protocol is designed with scalability and interoperability between heterogeneous devices with different hardware platforms, operating systems and embedded firmware, different application software.

service-Oriented: It is a service oriented protocol. Therefore in a client-server configuration data is exchanged only when the client requests it or when the server informs certain subscribers about it This ensures that bandwidth are never wasted and data is transferred/exchanged when necessary.

MiddlewarE: It is a middleware protocol, which means that it resides in the application layer and has its own general-purpose protocol layers to handle more specific functions and applications.

over IP: It is an Ethernet-based protocol. It uses a similar hardware interface that provides bandwidth up to 100 Mbps. Data is transmitted through the middleware, or application layer, over a network cable using TCP/IP or UDP protocols. When a client requests information from server the client requests it using TCP protocol. If the server needs to transmit data to all active subscribers, it is sent through UDP protocol. Communication over the UDP protocol can be unicast, multicast or broadcast.

Features of the SOME/IP protocol SOME/IP is a network layer protocol that works as a middleware, ie. is logically implemented in the application layer. As a middleware, IUJ/IP can provide many different applications/functions, such as different general-purpose protocol layers. Some of the key functions/applications of IUJ/IP are as follows. Serialization: The protocol takes care of converting messages between ECUs in a wired representation and back. In cable form, the protocol is compatible with the AUTOSAR .x standard. Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) and Messaging: The protocol can deliver messages (sent as fields) and remote procedure calls (application procedure/function calls).

Service Discovery
Communication using the SOME/IP protocol takes place in a client-server agreement. Some /IP addresses are based on the architecture of the service. The server provides many different services that client devices can subscribe to. The protocol allows clients to dynamically search for, subscribe to, and allocate access to services.

Publish/Subscribe: Communication in ANY/IP is via publish/subscribe. Clients can subscribe to services provided by the server, and the server can publish notifications to active subscribers. It allows dynamic configuration between client devices and the server. With publish/subscribe, the server can selectively deliver data to clients that need specific messages between ECUs.

Segmentation of UDP messages: When the server needs to send notifications to active subscribers, they are sent using the UDP protocol. ANY/IP can transmit large UDP messages without fragmentation.

How SOME/IP protocol works
All communication in the SOME/IP protocol occurs as services. The ECU server provides services. Client devices can dynamically discover services provided by the server (Service Discovery), order services and complete settings to access the ordered services.

Services are a combination of areas, events and/or methods. A field represents the state of an entity and can be a notifier, recipient, or setter. A notifier is field that are sent from the server to the client when the value changes A getter is a field that client sends to server and request a specific value. A setter is a field that the client sends to the server to explicitly change the value.

An event is message sent from server to client when a value is changed or sent cyclically to clients A method is a (program) function that can be called. The method are invoked on the server by a remote call from the client. A service provides interface and a single instance of service that implements the service interface which is called a service instance A service instance is provided by server ECU that implements the service interface. The client ECU can use service event to retrieve the necessary data fields, events, and methods from server ECU.

Client devices know about available services ie. available service instances, using the service discovery protocol. The service request protocol has two mechanisms for communicating the availability of services - "Offer Service" and "Search Service". When the server ECU communicates available services to the network (all client ECUs), the mechanism is called "service provisioning". When clients request available services from the ECU server, the Find Service mechanism is called. Therefore, the search for services available on the network can be initiated by both the server ECU and the client ECU.

SOME/IP supports the following complex data types–

struct: This is a list of predefined parameters. The structure begins with an optional length field that indicates all bytes following the length field.

string: Strings containing ASCII,UTF-8 and UTF-16 characters. Springs can be fixed length or dynamic length Dynamic length strings start with an endian field indicating the length of the string.

array: A set of parameters of same data type. Arrays can be one-dimensional or multi-dimensional. The table length can be fixed or dynamic. A dynamic length table starts with a length field.

enumeration: It is an unsigned integer that expresses different values in its bits.

union/variant: It is the parameter which contain other's parameter of different data types.

Data is transferred between the server ECU and the client ECU via UDP or TCP protocols. The UDP protocol is used when the server needs to send data to all active subscribers (such as notification fields and events). Data transmission with UDP can be unicast, multicast or broadcast. When the client needs to send data to the server (such as getter, setter fields and RPC), the client must connect to the server using the TCP protocol.

In SOME/IP, there is the four methods remote procedure calls (RPC) and are as follows:

Request/Response method: In this method a request for calling a function sent by the client to the server and the server sends back a response to the client The response can be a positive acknowledgment or an error message. The function are run on the server ECU at request from a client ECU.

Fire and Forget method: In this method, the client sends a request for calling a function to the server, and the server does not communicate any response to the client.

Services-Event: Event is message communicated from server to client when a value are changed and cyclically communicated to clients. The server notifies the change in a value only to the clients who have subscribed for that service. The notification is sent every time the event occurs, i.e., the value related to the subscribed service is changed.

Services-Field: A field is a property/attribute of service. It can be a notifier, getter, or setter. Getter is method which read a field value and Setter is the method to change the field value. Notifier is notification event triggered by a change of a field value.

The data like fields, events, and methods is transferred in protocol data units (PDUs) as TCP/UDP messages payloads. The TCP/UDP messages are transported over an IP-based in-vehicle network enabling inter-ECU data communication. A header precedes the payload. For ensuring inter-operability, the header layout is identical for all implementations of SOME/IP The header consist of a 32-bit Message ID, 32-bit Length Field, 32-bit Request ID/Session ID, 8-bit Protocol Version/8-bit Interface Version/8-bit Message Type/8-bit Return Code Hence, a TCP/UDP data packet communicated over SOME/IP protocol has the following PDUs.

Advantages of SOME/IP Protocol
The Some/IP protocol has many advantages over traditional automotive protocols such as CAN, LIN and MOST. Some of the notable benefits of Some/IP include: As a service-oriented protocol, it is interoperable and scalable. New parameters and functions can be easily added to the vehicle system via Some/IP. Only the header must be identical across all network/IP applications. Some/IP offers great flexibility for all types of data transfer between ECUs in a tightly coupled ecosystem, allowing the transfer of scalar data values into complex data structures.

SOME/IP provides high bandwidth for data communication in the range of 100 Mbps and ensures that bandwidth is not wasted by providing each data transfer in a client-server configuration. Some/IP allows the implementation of complex service interfaces, supporting many different data types and multiple RPC mechanisms. Data from Server ECU can be transmitted to client ECU via unicast multicast and broadcast. As middlewar is even suitable for CPU-intensive applications Some/IP can implemented in many automotive operating systems and even embedded firmware without operating system.

Conclusion
Cars are now mostly packed with complex heterogeneous electronics housed in the vehicle's ECU. These functions include infotainment systems, driver assistance, cameras, diagnostics, navigation and internet applications. Such versatile applications require a flexible, interoperable and scalable network layer protocol that enables easy value addition to the vehicle ecosystem despite different hardware and software environments. SOME/IP, a service-oriented protocol built on top of Ethernet, is perfect for new automotive applications. Compatibility with the AUTOSAR .x standard and compatibility with other automotive operating systems and non-OS firmware make Some/IP the best choice for automotive software.

Iceoryx: true zero-copy inter-process-communication

Nithyanand — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 07:25:51 +0000

Hello Readers,

Introduction
Glad you joined this great Eclipse project! To get started, you'll give a quick background presentation, showing the scope of the project and everything you'll need to set up,

along with a first-time use case. First: What is iceoryx? iceoryx is an inter-process communication (IPC) middleware for various operating systems (we currently support Linux, macOS, QNX, FreeBSD and Windows 10). It comes from the automotive industry, where large amounts of data must be transferred between different processes in driver assistance or automated driving systems. However, effective communication mechanisms can also be applied to broader use cases, such as robotics or game development.

iceoryx uses a true zero-copy shared memory approach that allows data to be transferred from publishers to subscribers without a single copy. This ensures data transmission with a constant delay, regardless of the size of the payload.

You're right, middleware is a cluttered time period and might by some means be all or nothing. To get a higher impact what this indicates for iceoryx, please have a examine our dreams and non-dreams.

Don't get too fearful of the API whilst walking via the example.Think of the untyped C++ and the C API as a "plumbing" one ("plumbing" as defined in Git, which means low-level). We're not using the "plumbing" APIs ourselves, but instead the typed C++ API. The everyday use case is that iceoryx is included as high-overall performance IPC shipping layer in a larger framework with extra API layers. An instance for such a "porcelain" API could be ROS 2.

Full API documentation can be found at 🌐 https://iceoryx.io.

Supported Platforms

Supported Platforms Editing or adding new platforms is described in the custom iceoryx platforms article.

The operating system compiler supports shared memory command line parsing privileges
Linux gcc/clang yes yes
QNX gcc yes yes
MacOS clang no, not planned for implementation yes
Windows 10 msvc no, now no longer deliberate for implementation could be implemented
FreeBSD (Unix) clang no, not planned for implementation yes
In general, Unix platforms should work with iceoryx, but we only test FreeBSD with our CI.

Build and install

All iceoryx libraries are deployed as unbiased CMake packages. Posh uses and relies on hoof functions. You can build amazing hooves and integrate them into existing CMake projects. Although we strive to be fully POSIX compliant, we recommend using Ubuntu 18.0 and at least GCC 7.5.0 for development.

Linux

sudo apt install gcc g++ cmake libacl1-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config
Additionally, there is an optional dependency on the cpptoml library that is used to parse the RouDi configuration file containing the mempool configuration.

Windows
If you don't have a Windows installation, Microsoft provides free software images here.
Additionally, CMake and git are required. The option to add CMake to the system PATH for all users should be set when installing. If you are using the Microsoft developer image, Visual Studio Community 2019 is already installed, otherwise you can find it here.

To be able to compile iceoryx, the Desktop development with C++ Workload must be installed. To do this, launch VisualStudioInstaller and select the Edit button for Visual Studio Community 2019.

Either VS Code or Developer Command Prompt may be used to construct iceoryx with CMake. It may take a restart or two for CMake to find the compiler. Alternatively, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars6 .bat can be run in any shell to set all build paths.

** Build with CMake**

CMakeLists.txt from the iceoryx_meta file can be used to develop ICEoryx with the IDE.

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx.git

Generate the necessary build files

cd iceoryx
cmake -Bbuild -Hiceoryx_meta
//// after installing external dependencies (eg ncurses) you must add them
//to your prefix path
cmake -Bbuild -Hiceoryx_meta -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(PWD)/build/dependencies/

RouDi

RouDi is an abbreviation for Routing and Discovery. RouDi looks after the verbal exchange setup however does now no longer absolutely take part withinside the verbal exchange among the writer and the subscriber or the patron and the server. RouDi may be concept of because the switchboard operator of iceoryx. One of its different important duties is the setup of the shared reminiscence, which the programs use for replacing payload data. Sometimes known as daemon, RouDi manages the shared reminiscence and is chargeable for the carrier discovery, i.e. allowing subscribers/customers to discover subjects provided with the aid of using publishers/servers. It additionally maintains song of all programs that have initialized a runtime and are consequently capable of create publishers, subscribers, servers or customers. It presents centers for programs to question this information. When an utility crashes, RouDi cleans up all resources. Due to our on the whole lock-loose inter-manner mechanisms (handiest one remaining lock; we're running to put off it), iceoryx-primarily based totally verbal exchange is a whole lot extra dependable in comparison to conventional mechanism the use of locking. To view the to be had command line alternatives for RouDi call $ICEORYX_ROOT/build/iox-roudi --help.

Shared Memory

To allow zero-reproduction inter-manner verbal exchange, iceoryx makes use of the shared reminiscence approach, i.e. publishers and subscribers or customers and servers can speak through shared reminiscence ensuing in zero-reproduction verbal exchange. Shared reminiscence is bodily reminiscence this is made reachable to a couple of methods through a mapping to a reminiscence vicinity of their digital cope with spaces.

Conclusion

In this Article I have tried to explain about the Significance of Iceoryx IPC Meachanism, in upcoming slides i will explain more Please let me know if any improvements needs to be done Thank you.

Service-Oriented Architecture in Autosar

Nithyanand — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 07:07:05 +0000

Hello Readers,

Service-Oriented Architecture

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a modern software architecture paradigm for building applications as a collection of software units called services. In SOA, offerings are self-contained, modular, and loosely coupled. This approach allows you to build complex and distributed applications where you can update individual components instead of entire monolithic applications. A typical SOA software package includes an application that includes services, platform services, and middleware. These services run on high-performance hardware or a virtual machine.

Service-Oriented Communication (SOC)

SOA-based applications use service-oriented interfaces for service-oriented communication to provide and use functions to exchange information through messages. Services act as clients or servers in SOA. Each client or server service is implemented as part of the software. The connection points between client and server components are known as client/server ports, which make up the service-oriented interfaces.

To facilitate data exchange, the client and server components use different service-oriented communication models, such as publish-state, request-response, and fire-forget. These patterns can be asynchronous or periodic, which is a key feature of SOC. Event-based modeling can be done using Stateflow and SimEvents. In addition, the Messages & Events library in Simulink® enables you to model, simulate, and generate C++ code for applications using message-based communication.

SOA Workflow

A model-driven design workflow enables you to build service-oriented applications:

Specifying requirements with Requirements Toolbox
Authoring SOAs using System Composer Modeling and simulating services and components in Simulink Importing existing services and components for reuseGenerating C++ production code with Embedded Coder® Integrating the full SOA application
Deploying SOA applications to edge devices and the cloud SOA in Automotive SOAs are most common in the automotive industry with Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs).

SDV integrates both signal-based and service-oriented applications into newer EE architectures with vehicle computers and zone controllers. With System Composer and Simulink, developers can model SOAs, simulate them, and generate C++ production code before deploying them as modular services to edge devices and the cloud.

In addition, these services can be wirelessly updated with software updates throughout the life of the vehicle to improve the customer experience. SOAs are included in both the above-mentioned industry standards and in-house frameworks.

Use Cases for SOA

In software-based systems that include autonomy, connectivity and electrification, service-oriented architecture plays a crucial role as a foundation. SOAs are also used to build systems, multi-agent systems, discrete event systems, and distributed systems in the automotive, aerospace, industrial automation and Internet of Things, medical device, and robotics industries.

To support these industries, software architecture frameworks, middleware standards and communication protocols based on service-oriented architecture and service-oriented communication have appeared. Examples of these frameworks and standards are AUTOSAR Adaptive, DDS, ROS/ROS2, FACE, SOME/IP, MOSA, MQTT and OPC UA.

In a service-oriented architecture, communication between services takes place with clearly defined interfaces at the SW level, i.e. by middleware. The middleware supports abstraction of the specific HW environment and greatly simplifies software development and testing. This provides the foundation for a truly distributed development environment that can and does collaborate with third parties. Automotive SOA takes the basic SOA concept of service providers and service consumers and transforms them into an automotive software environment. Each ECU uses layers of abstraction to hide network topology, communication and implementation complexity. Interactions between software components are therefore no longer coded. Each new service is represented in a directory where you can propose its functions and find the services you need. The relationship between services is not fixed and can be changed dynamically. Each ECU supported by the hypervisor can run several different operating systems in parallel: popular operating systems such as Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, etc. can support installing standard applications and third-party applications.

While downloading malicious or buggy apps to a smartphone can affect the functionality of the smartphone or the user's privacy, downloading such inappropriate apps to the car can affect driving safety and have fatal consequences.

Therefore, communication between services is limited to mandatory interactions. Everything else is blocked. Highly secure SWC OTA download and deployment prevents malicious or unintended attack vectors from affecting your car's security.
