From an engineer’s perspective, whether integrating the latest AUTOSAR release, or developing a new ECU extract from the OEM, the AUTOSAR design process must be as streamlined as possible – and support increased levels of functionality as ECU complexity grows. Mentor Graphics® Volcano™ AUTOSAR has been at the forefront of addressing these challenges. Volcano VSTAR™ software platform is Mentor’s embedded implementation of the AUTOSAR standard and a complete offering to meet all ECU platform needs. Unique to Mentor’s AUTOSAR solution is tool support for the entire AUTOSAR development cycle. Volcano AUTOSAR tools provide a round trip solution; from ECU extract updates and stack upgrades, to automatically configuring a stack. Mentor Graphics Volcano VSB™ is the configuration front-end to mentor’s VSTAR platform. Volcano VSB is the natural configuration companion that contains import functions for standard automotive exchange formats. This critical function is coupled with VSB ECU Configuration Generator, which is based on supplied data that automatically configures applicable parts of the ECU, and provides design support for software components (SWCs). As the ECU software is generated, the correctness of the configuration is continuously verified by a built-in consistency checker. With support for SWC authoring and configuration, and the round-trip capability to seamlessly update an ECU configuration, engineers are able to achieve continuous integration and release with VSB tools. Integration and Configuration Mentor Graphics provides integration with customer-specified combinations of microcontrollers (MCUs), peripherals, microcontroller abstraction layers (MCALs), basic software (BSW) modules, OEM-specific compatibility modules, compilers, and debuggers of choice. Mentor Graphics offers a complete and integrated tool suite for topdown vehicle system and ECU design. VSTAR is part of the comprehensive Mentor Graphics Volcano AUTOSAR toolchain, which includes: ■■ Volcano Vehicle System Architect™ (VSA) - an architecture design tool ■■ Volcano VSA COM Designer™ - a network design tool for AUTOSARbased ECUs ■■ Volcano Vehicle System Builder™ (VSB) - the ECU configuration tool ■■ Volcano Vehicle Systems Integrator™ (VSI) - a simulation tool

Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems for Automotive VSTAR integrates perfectly with other embedded auto- motive offerings from Mentor. Since VSTAR contains the vehicle interface, it can be integrated with an application operating system (OS) either on a standalone micro- processor or system-on-chip (SoC) architecture. VSTAR is available with Mentor's application solutions which include; Mentor Embedded Linux®, Nucleus® RTOS, and XSe® OPTstack™ with Mentor Hypervisor, as well as the Mentor® Embedded Multicore Framework. The VSTAR OS is an AUTOSAR OS that can be efficiently implemented on different...
