Introducing the communication model
In the previous chapter, we discussed the concept of the runtime environment (RTE) a bit and highlighted the significance of SWCs as the foundational elements of any application within the AUTOSAR framework. We touched upon the idea that these components communicate and exchange information through specific channels known as ports and interfaces, which dictate the nature and format of the data being transferred.
In this section, we will try to understand the communication aspects within AUTOSAR. We will be discussing the communication model’s key components, such as communication ports, interfaces, and the mechanisms through which SWCs interact with each other. This section will provide you with an understanding of how information flows within the AUTOSAR framework.
Explaining the information flow
Let’s consider a simple embedded example. Imagine a very simple temperature monitoring component within an ECU. This system reads...
