AUTOSAR Architecture Validation & Compliance Assistant
Validate AUTOSAR architecture designs for standard compliance and structural integrity
What You Can Do
You can validate AUTOSAR software architectures across multiple compliance dimensions—layer separation, component interfaces, port definitions, service interfaces, and communication semantics. The skill identifies structural violations, missing documentation artifacts, and compliance gaps early in the design phase, helping you catch issues before formal gates and functional safety audits. It generates architecture compliance reports and documentation needed for ISO 26262 functional safety reviews.
Features
verifies proper isolation between Application Layer, RTE, and BSW modules
checks port definitions, service interfaces, and communication semantics for correctness
validates cross-ECU communication configuration and RTE interactions
ensures artifact naming follows AUTOSAR standards and traceability rules
identifies gaps in interface specifications, design artifacts, and compliance evidence
audits state machines and mode-dependent behavior for AUTOSAR compliance
reviews Basic Software configuration against AUTOSAR layering requirements
produces structured documentation for ISO 26262 functional safety audits
Example Output
Example 1: Layer Violation Detection
✓ Application Layer: 10 SWCs validated ✓ RTE Configuration: 4 scheduling groups, 25 runnable mappings ⚠ Violation Found: SWC_Engine directly accesses CAN driver (BSW) — should use RTE service port ⚠ Missing: Port timing annotations on 3 periodic SWCs
Example 2: Compliance Report
AUTOSAR 4.2 Compliance Summary
- Reviewed 15 Software Components
- Interface Definitions: 12/15 complete (80%)
- Mode Management: 2/4 state machines properly annotated
- Communication Bindings: CAN configuration validated ✓
- Missing Artifacts: 3 interface specifications, 2 mode declarations
- Recommendation: Add interface timing contracts before RTE generation
Example 3: BSW Organization Assessment
✓ Com module: Properly layered, 24 signal mappings validated ✓ EcuM: State chart follows AUTOSAR 4.x standard ⚠ Memory layout: 2 BSW modules sharing RAM section (non-compliant) → Action: Refactor memory organization per AUTOSAR Memory Abstraction Layer rules

You might also like
You can decode SAE J2012 standard CAN diagnostic trouble codes (P, B, C, and U codes) with manufacturer-specific extensions, analyze multi-frame fault sequences and temporal patterns across multiple modules, and generate structured diagnostic hypotheses that differentiate between electrical, communication, and algorithmic failures. This skill transforms raw DTC data into actionable investigation vectors, reducing diagnostic analysis cycles from hours to minutes while improving root cause accuracy.
You can quantify sensor fusion performance across object detection, classification, tracking, and localization using standardized metrics. The framework helps you identify systematic failure modes in diverse environmental conditions, document safety-critical gaps, and generate structured evidence packages for ISO 26262 and SOTIF compliance. This enables you to benchmark sensor configurations, define perception KPIs, and support regulatory submissions with rigorous performance documentation.
You can systematically investigate NVH complaints, conduct root cause analysis using transfer path analysis methodologies, plan and interpret diagnostic testing data, and develop evidence-based solutions across the full vehicle lifecycle. This framework guides you through multidisciplinary analysis—covering acoustics, mechanical dynamics, materials, and manufacturing variability—enabling faster problem resolution and more effective cross-functional communication with design, manufacturing, and supplier teams.
You can create multi-phase OTA rollout campaigns tailored to automotive safety constraints, hardware heterogeneity, and regulatory requirements. This skill helps you design canary deployments (2%, 5%, 20%, 100% increments), establish automated rollback thresholds, coordinate dependencies across ECUs, and communicate deployment risks to cross-functional stakeholders—transforming reactive firefighting into proactive, data-driven fleet management.
You'll establish validated simulation architectures that execute cleanly and produce physically meaningful results. This skill guides you through model topology decisions, solver parameter selection, constraint formulation, and pre-run validation checkpoints. You'll identify and eliminate configuration errors—improper contact stiffness, inconsistent degrees of freedom, poorly scaled inertia properties—before wasting CPU hours on failed simulations.
This skill systematically validates your OTA update architecture across five critical dimensions: partition and storage allocation for A/B slots and recovery images, safety and rollback mechanisms including atomic commit strategies, delta compression efficiency for cellular bandwidth optimization, regulatory compliance mapping against ISO 26262 and UN R156, and deployment risk identification including version conflicts and single points of failure. You identify architectural gaps before they cause field failures or fleet immobilization.
You can rapidly correlate vehicle test data (lane change, slalom, ramp steer) with simulation targets, troubleshoot steering feel complaints like heaviness, dead band, and kickback, and analyze how suspension geometry, EPS control strategies, and column stiffness modifications affect handling behavior. This skill organizes complex multi-domain steering data into actionable insights that connect theoretical kinematics to driver feedback.
You can pinpoint the exact source of sensor fusion failures—whether they stem from misaligned camera/LiDAR/radar extrinsic calibration, timestamp desynchronization, data validation gaps, or algorithmic issues. This skill decomposes multi-modal perception errors into sensor-specific contributions and generates quantifiable diagnostic reports that directly guide calibration and testing teams toward fixes rather than blind troubleshooting.
