In July 2023, Suzhou QiXin Micro Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (Flagchip) officially released the FC7300 MCAL driver software based on the AUTOSAR Classic Platform (CP) 4.3.1. Currently, ZC Technology has developed a third-party AUTOSAR configuration tool, ZC.MuNiu Configuration Tool, for configuring and generating code for this driver. ZC.MuNiu Configuration Tool is a widely used graphical configuration and code generation tool for AUTOSAR in automotive applications.

At present, there are very few software development platforms and ECU configuration tools in China that comply with the AUTOSAR development method. Therefore, the development and implementation of a set of development tools that conform to the AUTOSAR standard development process, providing an ECU configuration environment that supports the implementation of basic software from multiple manufacturers and platforms, has a significant promotional effect on the construction of the AUTOSAR ecosystem in the automotive field for domestic chip companies. Moreover, it is also of great significance to the development of automotive electronic software in China.

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

SUPPORT MODULE

ZC.MuNiu FC7300 MCAL Configuration Tool supports MCAL versions: FC7300 MCAL V0.1.0 and above. The configurable modules supported are as follows:

ZC.MUNIU MCAL CONFIGURATION TOOL

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

ZC.MuNiu MCAL Configuration Tool is based on the Eclipse platform and is implemented based on the ARTOP architecture, enabling the parsing of AUTOSAR models and ARXML. MuNiu Core completes the UI interface of the configuration tool. Above the Core, the Module realizes the configuration of various AUTOSAR Modules. After the configuration is completed, the configuration code for each Module can be generated.

ZC.MuNiu Basic Software Platform (ZC.MuNiu) provides a comprehensive solution for the development of automotive electronic control unit (ECU) products. This product complies with international standards such as AUTOSAR and OSEK.

Currently, ZC.MuNiu Basic Software Platform has already supported the FC7300 chip from FLAGCHIP and has integrated the FC7300 MCAL software package. At the same time, ZC.MuNiu MCAL Configuration Tool can adapt to the configuration of the FC7300 MCAL software package from FLAGCHIP. Users can immediately initiate their own projects without any lead time or additional effort, enabling the integration of basic standard software and specific hardware drivers as well as operating systems.
