Integrate New Module

From Arctic Core - the open source AUTOSAR embedded platform

Some steps/pointers on how to integrate a new module (driver/service etc.) into the Arctic Core platform

Code placement

• Place public headers (.h) in the folder

  include

• Place implementation code (.c) and private headers in the appropriate place in the tree:
  • Code that is dependent on cpu type/architecture (MCAL) should go into

    arch/<yourarch>/<yourcpu>/drivers

    (like Can driver for mpc55xx)

• Code for modules not in the MCAL should be placed in a folder named after the module in the tree where appropriate (like module Com)

• Place configuration files (*Cfg.c, *Cfg.h) in your project (you should consider creating an example project using the module) under

  config/<yourboard>

Building

• Make the module available in the board you are using by adding it to the MOD_AVAIL variable in:

  boards/<yourboard>/build_config.mk

  (like for mpc5567qrtech)

• Add make dependencies and paths for the module files in:

  boards/board_common.mk

  with the inclusion switch USE_<MOD> (like for module Com)

• Finally, to get the files built, add the module to the MOD_USE variable in

  build_config.mk

  in your project (the same names you added to MOD_AVAIL, like COM in the example project pwm_node2)
