Overview of diagnostics

In this book, we’ve embarked on a journey through the foundational aspects of AUTOSAR, beginning with its history and motivations, followed by an in-depth look at the runtime environment (RTE), software component (SWC), and core modules within the basic software (BSW) layer, such as communication, security, and memory management. These elements form the backbone of AUTOSAR and are key to understanding how this architecture standardizes and enhances automotive software development.

However, it’s important to recognize that there are other essential components within the AUTOSAR framework that we have not covered in detail. Notably, diagnostics are critical to automotive systems and vital for maintaining vehicle safety and performance. While we haven’t deeply examined diagnostics and other advanced modules, it’s important to note their significance.
