MICROSAR EXT AUTOSAR drivers for control of external devices Depending on the requirements of your application, you can add other packages (e.g. MICROSAR CAN, MICROSAR MEM, etc.) for a complete communication stack or memory management per AUTOSAR specification. Overview of Advantages > Optimal control of your external transceiver and memory devices > Additional support for LIN and Ethernet transceivers > Simplified configuration by considering parameter dependencies with other modules > Development accelerated by plausibility and completeness checks in the Configurator Functions The BSW modules in MICROSAR EXT contain functions defined in AUTOSAR Release 3.x plus the following extended functions: > Bus error detection on FlexRay > Active star handling on FlexRay > LIN transceiver drivers > Ethernet transceiver drivers (per AUTOSAR Release 4.0) 2/34 MICROSAR EXT contains communication-related AUTOSAR trans-ceiver drivers for CAN (CANTRCV), FlexRay (FRTRCV), LIN (LINTRCV), Ethernet (ETHTRCV) and drivers for other external devices such EEPROM, flash memory and watchdog (DRVEXT). Functions con-tained Scope of Delivery > Software modules as library with C header files, optionally as source code > Command line based generator (for Windows NT/2000/XP/ Vista/Windows 7) > BSW modules description > DLLs for configuration with GENy > Documentation in the drivers were specified by AUTOSAR in the “ECU Abstraction Layer” and they conform to AUTOSAR Release 3.x. They have each been optimized for a specific device and are avail-able for many commonly used devices. Application Areas MICROSAR EXT gives you a turn-key solution for driving your exter-nal peripheral devices. So, it is not necessary to modify the func-tional software when switching out external hardware. All you need to do is switch out the relevant drivers from MICROSAR EXT. MICROSAR EXT modules
