Description
Modern vehicles contain increasingly complex embedded software systems that must integrate applications, communication, diagnostics, memory, hardware abstraction, and operating system services within a structured architecture. The AUTOSAR Classic Platform provides a standardized software architecture for developing automotive ECUs.
This course provides a structured and practical introduction to the AUTOSAR Classic Platform and its role in modern automotive software development.
You will first learn the fundamental ideas behind AUTOSAR, including its purpose, architecture, and the separation between application software and infrastructure software.
The course then explores the major layers of the AUTOSAR Classic Platform. You will understand how Application Software Components, the Runtime Environment (RTE), and Basic Software (BSW) interact to create a modular and standardized ECU software architecture.
A major part of the training focuses on the services provided by the Basic Software. You will explore important areas including the Communication Stack, ECU State Management, Operating System, Memory Stack, Diagnostics, Watchdog, and safety-related mechanisms.
The training also explains how AUTOSAR software is developed and integrated in practice. You will gain an understanding of the AUTOSAR development process, configuration concepts, interfaces, and the interaction between different software layers.
Finally, the course places AUTOSAR within the broader context of modern automotive development and explains how the architecture interacts with other important engineering disciplines and standards.
By completing this course, you will gain a clear understanding of how the AUTOSAR Classic Platform is structured, how its major software components interact, and how AUTOSAR supports the development of complex automotive ECUs.
This course is ideal for automotive software engineers, embedded software developers, system engineers, software architects, functional safety engineers, ECU developers, testers, project managers, and professionals who want to understand AUTOSAR Classic Platform architecture and development.

“It was such a great experience in learning Fusa from such a genius person!! concept were very clear and the way of teaching was very simple.”
Rohan Arora
“Great introduction to the most relevant parts of ASPICE. Totally recommended for beginners!“
Jose F. Gonzalez A.
“Great overview of ASPICE!”
Veselina Demireva
“The course is very structured and is based on the chapters of ISO 21434, which helped me a lot to compare the content of the course with the standard. This course is highly recommended for an initial overview of ISO. The content is clearly explained and easy to understand.”
Markus Simon
“The course has broken down a rather tough topic into a simpler words by connecting the right dots.“
Priyanka Pacharne
“Amazing, above expectations!“
Asfiyan Ali Khan
“I am coming to this program with 20+ years of experience with MIL-STD-882. This class allowed me to see what I would need to change in order to transition from 882 to ISO 26262. Overall, I thought this was a good presentation. I think the class provides a good overview for both the novice safety engineer and the old and crusty veteran. The class brought out many topics that forced me to go back to my old standard”
Patrick Norris
“Over all the course was really amazing with usefull information”
