Using the Functional Mockup Interface as an Intermediate Format in AUTOSAR Software Component Development

Abstract

This paper shows how the recently developed Functional Mockup Interface (FMI) standard for model exchange can be utilized in the context of AUTOSAR software component (SW-C) development. Automatic transformations between the XML schemas of the two standards are utilized to convert FMI models to AUTOSAR. An application example is demonstrated, where a Modelica controller is exported through FMI, converted to an AUTOSAR SW-C and then imported into an AUTOSAR tool. The presented approach, with FMI as an intermediate format, should be an attractive alternative to providing full-fledged AUTOSAR SW-C export.
