DaVinci Configurator Pro - Configuring AUTOSAR Basic Software
DaVinci Configurator Pro is the central tool for configuring, validating and generating the basic software (BSW) and the runtime environment (RTE) of an AUTOSAR ECU.

Advantages
- Automatic parameterization of the BSW based on the OEM's system and diagnostic descriptions
- Specific configuration user interfaces for all areas of the BSW and the RTE
- Easy integration of third-party modules
- Validation of the configuration with troubleshooting tips
- Workflow support for a continuous integration of the ECU software








Application Area
Configuring the Basic Software and the RTE

- Customized and convenient user interfaces for all aspects of the basic software such as communication, NV memory, diagnostics and the runtime system
- Generic configuration editor (GCE) for a native view of parameters
- Automatic adjustment of dependent parameters during configuration
- Functions that assist in complex configuration tasks
Validating the Basic Software and the RTE

- Module-specific and comprehensive consistency check of parameters
- Live validations for quick feedback on faulty entries
- Listing of recommended proposals for solutions that the user can execute by mouse click
-
Acknowledge mechanism to hide individual messages for a better overview
Generating the basic software and the RTE

- Call the module generators in a configurable generation sequence
- Integrate any desired external generators by calling via command line
This is an overview of the use cases and the required DaVinci products
Standard User Groups



Expert User Groups


Highlights Version 5.20
Extended Automation API
- 3-way merge of DaVinci projects
- Extended high-level API for the runtime system and communication domain
Optimized Usability
- More comfortable detection of deviations from recommended configuration
- Data mapping via signal-centric view
Improved Basic Software Management Editor
- Better overview of the BswM configuration
- Simplified definition of action lists
Functions
- Derive parameters from the OEM's system and diagnostic description files
- Write-protected display of derived parameters
- Correct errors in the system description by controlled overwriting of individual derived parameters
- Automatic updating of the configuration after changes to the system description
- Execution of scripts to modify the system description during project update
-
Execution of automation scripts to modify the ECU configuration
- Generate an HTML report, e.g. about parameters that deviate from the system description
- Switch the configuration phase for post-build loadable ECUs. This prevents prohibited changes to pre-compile parameters.
- Diff/Merge function for integrating different branches of a project
- Finely granulated storage of module configurations in separate files. This enables easy management with file-based configuration management systems.
AUTOSAR Network Explorer is integrated in DaVinci Configurator Pro for editing network descriptions in ARXML format.
- Define variants (Evaluated Variant Sets according to the AUTOSAR concept)
- Select the input file set per variant
- Create an overall configuration with all variants
- Interface filters for displaying a single variant
- Display the variance/invariance of individual parameters
Options
Option RTE: Configuring the MICROSAR RTE

- Customized editors for integrating SWCs
- Assistance functions, e.g. to automatically link SWCs or to simplify task assignments of SWCs
Note: These functions are also enabled via a DaVinci Developer license. If you have a DaVinci Developer license, you do not need Option RTE for DaVinci Configurator Pro.
Option MD: Developing your own Modules

- Conveniently create BSWMD files with module, container and parameter definitions
- SDK (Software Development Kit) for developing your own validation rules and generators for C-code or SWC descriptions in ARXML format
Option WF: Developing Workflow Scripts

-
Develop System Description Scripts (Python 2.7)
- Correction of input data at the level of System Description
- Automatic execution of scripts during project update
- Signature of the script files for execution with DaVinci Configurator Pro
-
Develop Automation Scripts (Groovy)
- Automation of various actions like editing of parameters, access to validation results or execution of solving actions
- Assistant for easy setup of script projects
- Debugging of scripts with tools like IntelliJ IDEA
-
Execution of script tasks via the user interface or via command line
- Note: The Option WF is only required for creation of scripts.
Execution of scripts is possible with DaVinci Configurator Pro even without Option WF.

1 DaVinci Configurator Pro benefits from higher clock rates rather than higher number of cores.
For configuring the MICROSAR basic software modules you need a compatible version of the DaVinci Configurator Pro. You can download compatibility matrices in the Vector KnowledgeBase.
