Architecture Development
R2026bAUTOSAR Blockset software supports software composition modeling for the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform and Classic Platform. An AUTOSAR architecture model provides resources and a canvas for developing AUTOSAR composition and component models. From the architecture model, you can:
Define component behavior by creating, importing, or linking Simulink® models.
Define and share interfaces, data types, and constants using Simulink data dictionaries.
Configure scheduling and simulation.
Design AUTOSAR Adaptive software components by refining software component service interfaces and algorithmic model content. (AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform)
Add Basic Software (BSW) service calls and service implementations. (AUTOSAR Classic Platform)
Add and configure AUTOSAR parameter components and parameter ports. (AUTOSAR Classic Platform)

Topics
Composition and Component Development
- Define AUTOSAR Component Behavior by Creating or Linking Models
Add Simulink behavior to AUTOSAR components by creating, linking, or importing models. - Define AUTOSAR Compositions by Creating or Linking Models
Define AUTOSAR software compositions by creating, linking, or importing compositions as implementation models. - Configure AUTOSAR Architecture Model Programmatically
Call architecture functions to configure an AUTOSAR software architecture model. - Add and Connect Client-Server Ports in AUTOSAR Software Architectures
Configure client-server communication by using client server ports and Simulink data dictionaries in AUTOSAR software architectures (requires System Composer).
Architecture Data Management
- Manage AUTOSAR Architectural Data With Data Dictionaries
Manage architectural data in AUTOSAR models using the Architectural Data Editor. - Programmatically Manage AUTOSAR Architectural Data
This example shows how to programmatically manage shared data types, interfaces, constants, software address methods, and AUTOSAR C code generation properties by using the Architectural Data section of a Simulink® data dictionary. - Link AUTOSAR Components to Requirements
Link AUTOSAR components that implement requirements to requirements. - Create Profiles, Stereotypes, and Views for AUTOSAR Architecture Analysis
To help analyze AUTOSAR architecture, create filtered views of model hierarchies.
Simulation
- Configure AUTOSAR Classic Scheduling and Simulation
Schedule and simulate components in AUTOSAR architecture model.

Configure and Export ARXML from AUTOSAR Adaptive Software Architectures
Generate and optionally package AUTOSAR XML descriptions and C++ code from AUTOSAR software architectures. If you have Simulink® Coder™, Embedded Coder®, and System Composer™, from an AUTOSAR Adaptive software architecture model, you can:
Assemble and Simulate AUTOSAR Software Components in Architecture Model
An AUTOSAR architecture model in Simulink provides a graphical environment and modeling elements for developing AUTOSAR software compositions and software components (requires System Composer™). From the architecture model, you can:
Deploy AUTOSAR Adaptive Architecture Model
Deploy an AUTOSAR(R) adaptive architecture model to a Linux(R) target and use external mode to monitor and tune a component using AUTOSAR Blockset(TM) and Embedded Coder(R). You deploy a headlight control system where three components communicate through adaptive events and methods, then use external mode to calibrate sensor thresholds while observing the end-to-end adaptive communication.
