Software compatibility manages
electronics design
A single Simulink model can be used as a reference throughout the development process for simulation, rapid prototyping and production code generation in both Autosar and nonAutosar environments.
Simulink now provides built-in functionality for developing Autosar Software Components, eliminating the need for engineers to introduce new blocksets or tools in order to support Autosar The Software Component descriptions generated by Autosar authoring tools, such as DaVinci Tool Suite from Vector Informatik, can be automatically imported into Simulink

Cut-price software for students
The MathWorks has made full versions of both Matlab and Simulink available in bookshops for students for the first time.
No structural changes to the model are needed.
As a result, a single Simulink model can be used as a golden reference throughout the development process for simulation, rapid prototyping and production code generation in both Autosar and nonAutosar environments.
After the component is modelled and designed, Autosar-compliant code can be automatically generated using the newest release of Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder.
To validate the generated code and test it against the reference model behaviour, software-in-the-loop testing is supported by automatically configuring and generating an interface to the code that routes the simulation data using the Autosar Runtime Environment API calls.
In addition to the component, an updated Autosar Software Component description is automatically generated, enabling the component to be integrated with the Autosar Runtime Environment (RTE) and Autosar Basic Software.
Through the Automotive Open System Architecture (Autosar) partnership, automotive OEMs, suppliers and tool vendors collaborate around a single standard to help manage the growing complexity of automotive electronics and to improve cost efficiency without compromising quality.
