DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND

To address the increasing complexity in automotive electronic software development and to enhance the consistency and reusability of software, the AUTOSAR standard was introduced in 2003 and rapidly gained widespread acceptance within the industry. Companies such as Vector and EB have provided AUTOSAR-oriented development toolchains based on their existing development tool products. Additionally, companies like ETAS and Continental have also introduced their integration solutions for development tools with the AUTOSAR development methodology.

Compared to the solutions of international giants, there are very few software development platforms and ECU configuration tools in China that comply with the AUTOSAR development methodology, and the development capability for basic software is also quite weak. Therefore, developing and implementing a set of development tools that conform to the AUTOSAR standard development process, and providing an ECU configuration environment that supports the implementation of basic software for multiple manufacturers and platforms, is of great significance for the development of automotive electronic software in China.

ZC.MuNiu Configuration Tool is an ECU development solution that complies with domestic automotive electronic system architecture standards. This solution is compatible with the mainstream AUTOSAR standard in the industry, including a suite of tools from system functional design, ECU function mapping, and component configuration, to the automatic code generation of the runtime environment. It provides a foundation for developing reusable ECU application software that has been verified by practice.

ZC.MuNiu Basic Software Platform offers a comprehensive solution for the development of automotive electronic control unit products, providing a complete basic software platform. This product complies with international standards such as AUTOSAR and OSEK.

Currently, ZC.MuNiu Basic Software Platform has supported NXP S32K1 series of microcontrollers and has integrated the NXP S32K14X MCAL software package. Additionally, ZC.MuNiu MCAL Configuration Tool is capable of adapting to the configuration of the NXP S32K14X MCAL software package. This allows users to immediately initiate their projects without any lead time or additional effort required to integrate basic standard software, as well as specific hardware drivers and operating systems.

ZC.MUNIU BASIC SOFTWARE PLATFORM

ZC.MUNIU MCAL CONFIGURATION TOOL

The NXP S32K1xx series of microcontrollers, integrated with ZC.MuNiu Basic Software Platform, can deliver a comprehensive Classic AUTOSAR solution that addresses the development requirements for automotive electronic control units within the entire vehicle domain. Applications encompass body control modules, gateway control units, Battery Management Systems (BMS), and in-vehicle entertainment systems, among others.

In order to provide a full suite of solutions that meet the AUTOSAR standards, ZC. MuNiu MCAL Configuration Tool facilitates seamless integration into the current toolchain. This allows for the integration of basic software modules with existing mature software components, catering to the development of proprietary modules for OEMs and Tier1 suppliers. Additionally, it helps to shorten the time to market and reduce integration costs.

The configuration tool of ZC.MuNiu Basic Software Platform is based on the Eclipse platform and is constructed according to the ARTOP (AUTOSAR Tool Protocol) architecture, which enables the parsing of AUTOSAR models and ARXML files. The Core completes the UI interface of the configuration tool. Above its Core, the Module is used to configure various AUTOSAR Modules. After the configuration is completed, it can generate the configuration code for each Module.2
