Key Features of MICROSAR Adaptive
These key features give you a clear structure to design, integrate, and scale your software architecture. MICROSAR Adaptive combines communication, safety, and collaboration in one platform to support efficient development across the entire vehicle system.
Central SW Link
Integrate MICROSAR Adaptive into your existing software landscape. It works with MICROSAR Classic, POSIX-based operating systems and hypervisors. It supports use cases in ADAS, multimedia, and image processing. This makes it a reliable central link within your E/E architecture.
Centralized Modeling
Control your network and services from a central model. This creates a consistent system and supports distributed teams with a stable foundation for global development. It also enables a coherent design of the entire vehicle system.
Safety and Security
Meet safety requirements up to ASIL D and apply strong security measures. Additional options for determinism and basic support for fail-operational systems help you build reliable and protected automotive applications.
Seamless Communication
Close the communication gap across applications and the vehicle network. High-performance Zero Copy IPC and support for SOME/IP and Signal2Service enable both internal and external communication. Diagnostics, global time synchronization, and logging complete the setup for consistent software integration.
Global Collaboration and Cost Efficiency
Use standardized methods and protocols to reuse software components and collaborate across teams. This reduces integration effort, lowers costs, and shortens development time.
