Understanding AUTOSAR ARXML for

Communication Networks using EEA COM

Brought to you by
Intrepid Control Systems, Inc.
 AUTOSAR ARXML with EEA COM SW

1) Overview
2) View ARXML – CAN, FR, LIN and ETH clusters
3) Edit ARXML
4) Create ARXML
5) Import DBC’s, LDF’s, VSDB’s, FIBEX (Future)
6) Export DBC’s
7) Automotive Ethernet and SOME/IP in EEA COM
EEA COM Overview

• Intrepid EEA COM tool is an easy way to get on board for AUTOSAR ARXML

• EEA COM - An AUTOSAR based Vehicle Network Communication Databases tool

• Vehicle Spy supports ARXML files with all the features like for DBC/LDF/FIBEX
 Entirely New Communication Matrix Design

New/Update Communication Matrix data

e.g. Add PDU to a Frame
e.g. Update Signal characteristics – different
compute type, or Units
e.g. Add new Clusters and new ECU’s
e.g. Update LIN Schedule Table and test ECU’s
e.g. Complete AUTOSAR COMM Cluster
ARXML for COM - Getting on-board

• Vehicle Network Engineers - Need to understand contents of

the AUTOSAR ARXML file.

• ECU test engineers - Need to perform testing using network

analyzer tools such as Vehicle Spy.

• Need to be able to add, delete and modify the network

messages and save a new AUTOSAR compliant ARXML file.
 ARXML for COM - Getting on-board

• System Engineers - Need to create test communication matrix to test on system or bench

• Engineers working on vehicle networks to make local changes in communication matrix for any purpose - avoid
loop back to Network Architectural teams to re-generate the Communication Matrix for even small test changes.
View ARXML – CAN(FD), FlexRay, LIN and ETH clusters
• Easy view of Clusters, PDU’s, Signals and other entities.
• Tabbed views for multiple entities detailed views on a single window.
 Edit ARXML for communication matrix
• Easily add, Signals, PDU’s, ECU’s and other entities to an existing
ARXML.
• Edit existing entities.
Create new ARXML for communication matrix
• Create all type Clusters, Signals, PDU’s,
ECU’s and other entities.
• Support for SOME/IP
• Support for Complete Ethernet Clusters
• Create Sockets, Connections, Endpoints Assign
PDU’s to sockets
• Create and Use different Data types
• Packages, Short Names are auto-created which
user can edit and change if needed
SOME/IP support in
EEA COM
• Powerful support for SOME/IP
• Services Catalogue
• Datatypes details
• Powerful information at socket level
ARXML <-> DBC interchange ,
LDF -> ARXML, VSDB > ARXML
• Import DBC’s to convert to ARXML

Useful when large numbers of signals are already defined in DBC. Need not re-create
all of those in AUTOSAR format.

• Export the ARXML’s CAN clusters to DBC

Helpful in compatibility to tools which cannot import ARXML .
