AUTOSAR Based Automatic GUI Generation

Creating GUI can be a time and money consuming work in application development. In AUTOSAR methodology for automotive electronics software development, configuration GUI with a large number of configuration items is required in the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) configuration step. To reduce the development time and cost, and meet the requirement of future update of AUTOSAR standard, we present a way for automatic GUI generation of AUTOSAR ECU configuration tool. Our approach adds the configuration information to class models in form of annotations and binds the configuration type and attributes information with configuration values implicitly. Based on the annotated models, the Configuration GUI can be generated. With the approach, our ECU configuration tool has been developed with great enhancement of efficiency, scalability and upgradeability.
