TTAutomotive, TTTech's subsidiary for FlexRay solutions, has released TTX-Build for Autosar standard software configuration.

TTX-Build is a powerful, modular and optimising tool that is used to develop FlexRay-based electronic control units that conform to the Autosar standard.

In addition to TTX-Build, TTAutomotive has released FlexRay software modules based on Autosar specifications to provide cost-optimised, best-in-class solutions to the automotive industry.

TTAutomotive is a member of the Autosar partnership and contributes to common specifications of interfaces for implementation in future automotive systems.

TTX-Build was designed for production-strength node design and configuration of automotive systems that are based on the Autosar specifications for the FlexRay stack.

This tool automatically configures the complete software stack in one step.

For process integration, TTX-Build provides batch mode execution and complete node configuration via scripting.

The tool checks for consistency with the Fibex communication database and ensures valid Autosar configurations by automatically calculating the optimal Autosar allocation parameters.

TTAutomotive's Autosar FlexRay stack and configuration tool were chosen for an advanced commercial production program.

The FlexRay driver is one of the core components of the Autosar FlexRay stack from TTAutomotive and part of the Microcontroller Abstraction Layer.

Together with the FlexRay interface within the Communication ECU Abstraction Layer, the FlexRay driver provides a hardware-independent API to access the FlexRay controller.

TTAutomotive also offers components for the Services Layer such as a COM layer, a PDU Router and a transport protocol component.

The network management component adds wakeup and sleep functionality to the complete cluster.

Designed for FlexRay-based systems, these components are optimised for synchronous operation and have a small footprint, low latency and deterministic response times.
