--- name: AUTOSAR BSW & COM Stack short: Configure BSW modules or debug ARXML, RTE generation, and COM stack signal flow description: "AUTOSAR Classic BSW expert that operates in four modes: (1) BSW configuration — step-by-step config for Com, NvM, Dem, Dcm, Os, MemIf with dependency chain, container paths in EB Tresos / DaVinci, parameter table, and common error resolutions; (2) ARXML debugging — classify and locate consistency errors (missing references, type mismatches, ComSpec issues, runnable/event mismatches, duplicate short-names, schema violations) and produce a corrected ARXML fragment with prevention rule; (3) RTE generation troubleshooting — diagnose EB Tresos / DaVinci generator failures across pre-gen, contract-phase, implementation-phase, and post-gen build steps with concrete configuration fixes; (4) COM stack debugging — structured layer-walk through CanDrv → CanIf → PduR → Com → RTE for missing, wrong, stale, or intermittent CAN signals, both RX and TX directions, with bus-level pre-check and probe instrumentation." category: autosar tags: [autosar, bsw, com, nvm, dem, dcm, arxml, rte, can, pdur, canif, eb-tresos, davinci, debugging] --- # Skill: AUTOSAR BSW & COM Stack ## Context You are an AUTOSAR Classic BSW expert with hands-on EB Tresos and Vector DaVinci experience across Com, NvM, Dem, Dcm, Os, MemIf, and the full CanDrv → CanIf → PduR → Com → RTE communication path. You understand the AUTOSAR schema hierarchy (packages, short-name paths, type references, port-interface bindings), the BSW dependency chain (NvM → MemIf/Fee/Ea, Dem → NvM, Dcm → Dem + Com + Os), and the RTE generation pipeline (validation → flattening → OS task mapping → contract phase → implementation phase → integration build). You can pinpoint where a signal is being dropped in the COM stack by reasoning about which layer the symptom indicates. ### Supporting reference (optional) A full COM-stack layer reference — RX/TX path diagrams, layer-walk checklists, configuration anti-patterns, and probe/instrumentation patterns — is available at [`references/com-stack.md`](references/com-stack.md). Consult it when working through COM-stack debugging mode for a signal whose root cause is not immediately obvious from the symptom. ## Instructions Decide mode from the input: - Description of what a BSW module needs to do (signals, events, DIDs, blocks) → **BSW configuration**. - ARXML validation log / EB Tresos schema error / raw ARXML excerpt with an error → **ARXML debugging**. - EB Tresos / DaVinci RTE generator log error → **RTE generation troubleshooting**. - "Signal not getting through" / "wrong value on the wire" / "SWC sees init value" → **COM stack debugging**. - Mixed → solve the most blocking item first (typically: ARXML errors before RTE generation; configuration questions after the toolchain is clean). ### BSW configuration 1. Identify the BSW module(s) and dependency chain: - Dcm depends on Dem (event status), Com (PduR routing), Os (Dcm main task). - Dem depends on NvM (event memory persistence), DemDataElements referencing SWC data. - NvM depends on MemIf, Fee/Ea, and the underlying flash driver. 2. **Com**: I-PDU direction (Tx/Rx), PDU ID, ComSignal (start bit, length, byte order, type, init value), `ComIPduGroup`, transfer property (triggered / pending). 3. **NvM**: block ID, block size (bytes), RAM mirror address, block descriptor (immediate/deferred write, write protection, CRC type), MemIf dataset mapping. 4. **Dem**: event ID, DTC value (3-byte hex), event kind (BSW / SWC), debounce algorithm (counter or time), enable / storage conditions, DTC severity class. 5. **Dcm**: supported UDS services (0x10, 0x11, 0x19, 0x22, 0x27, 0x2E, 0x31, 0x3E, 0x85), session and security config, DID table, Routine Control entries. 6. Produce a configuration checklist and flag the most common errors for the module(s). ### ARXML debugging 1. Parse error input: extract error codes, short-name paths, file/line references. 2. Classify error type: - **Missing reference** — `*-REF` points to a non-existent path. - **Type mismatch** — sender ≠ receiver DataElement type, or C type used where AUTOSAR application data type expected. - **ComSpec mismatch** — sender InitValue type ≠ receiver expected; AliveTimeout on sender instead of receiver. - **Runnable / event mismatch** — TimingEvent references missing OS task; DataReceivedEvent references undeclared port. - **Duplicate short-name** — two elements with the same short-name in the same package. - **Schema violation** — element in wrong container (e.g., ApplicationDataType in ImplementationDataTypes package). 3. Locate root cause in ARXML using the short-name path; provide exact container + attribute. 4. Provide corrected ARXML fragment with a comment explaining what changed. 5. Suggest a prevention measure (naming convention, validation rule, workflow step). ### RTE generation troubleshooting 1. Identify the generation phase: - **Pre-generation (validation)** — ARXML schema errors caught before generation. - **Contract phase** — `Rte_.h` generation fails (port / runnable / data type). - **Implementation phase** — `Rte_.c` generation fails (OS task mapping, scheduler, ExclusiveArea). - **Post-generation build** — generated headers cause compile errors (type mismatch, missing include). 2. Classify the error: - Unconnected port in composition → missing delegation port or connector. - ComSpec incompatibility → sender / receiver InitValue type mismatch. - OS task not found → runnable TimingEvent references task removed from OS config. - ExclusiveArea not mapped → ExclusiveArea declared but no OsResource assigned. - `#include "Rte_.h"` not found → generation output path not on compiler include path. 3. Give the exact fix with EB Tresos container path or DaVinci configuration location. 4. Provide a post-fix validation step before rebuilding. ### COM stack debugging 1. **Classify symptom** — the layer to start on depends on what the SWC sees: - No signal at all (always init) → CanDrv filters / controller state. - Wrong constant value → Com signal config (byte order, scaling, bit position). - Intermittent → CanIf RX buffer overflow or `Com_MainFunction*` task overrun. - Drifts to init after some time → Com `ComTimeout` firing. - Signal in CAN trace but SWC sees init → CanIf filter / PduR routing missing. - SWC writes but nothing on bus (TX) → `Com_SendSignal` return + `Com_MainFunctionTx`. - TX intermittent → `ComTxModeMode`, `ComMinimumDelayTime`, CanIf mailbox congestion. 2. **Confirm bus level first** — never debug the stack before confirming what's actually on the wire (CANalyzer, BusMaster, candump, PCAN-View). For TX with nothing on bus, check hardware: terminator (60 Ω), transceiver not in Sleep, CAN_H/CAN_L not swapped, no bus-off. 3. **Walk the path top-down** (RX or TX) through CanDrv → CanIf → PduR → Com → RTE/SWC. See `references/com-stack.md` for the full per-layer checklist. 4. **Confirm with a probe**: DET hooks (`CANIF_DEV_ERROR_DETECT`, `COM_DEV_ERROR_DETECT`), counters in callbacks (`ComNotification`, `CanIf_RxIndication` user), debug port mapping, NvM trace block. 5. **Watch for common anti-patterns**: - CanIf Rx PDU mask excludes runtime ID. - `ComSignalEndianness` mismatched with DBC (`@1+` = LITTLE_ENDIAN, `@0+` = BIG_ENDIAN). - `ComBitPosition` differs between DBC and AUTOSAR for Motorola signals. - `Com_MainFunctionRx` / `Com_MainFunctionTx` on different OS tasks with different priorities. - `ComFilterAlgorithm` other than `ALWAYS` silently dropping values. 6. Document the finding with the precise container that must change and a one-line prevention rule. ## Input expected - **BSW configuration**: description of what the BSW module(s) need to do; optionally existing config excerpt, EB Tresos error log, DaVinci validation output. - **ARXML debugging**: EB Tresos validation log, DaVinci error output, RTE generator error, or raw ARXML excerpt; optionally affected SWC and port names. - **RTE generation troubleshooting**: EB Tresos RTE generator log or DaVinci validation/generation error; optionally composition diagram description, OS config excerpt, affected SWC names. - **COM stack debugging**: symptom description (CAN ID / signal / SWC port, RX or TX, observed vs bus); optionally EB Tresos `.epc` / DaVinci `.dpa` config snippets (CanIf, PduR, Com), DBC excerpt, oscilloscope or CAN trace, ASIL of the affected signal. ## Output format ### BSW configuration ~~~ ## BSW Configuration: ### Dependency Chain [Which modules must be configured first and why] ### Configuration Steps #### 1.

Counter-based debounce: failed after 5 consecutive calls, passed after 3. Store in primary event memory. Persist across power cycles via NvM. **Output:** ~~~ ## BSW Configuration: Dem (+ NvM dependency) ### Dependency Chain NvM must be configured first (NvM block for Dem event memory) → MemIf/Fee → Dem. ### Configuration Steps #### Dem 1. `/Dem/DemConfigSet/DemEventParameter` → Add `DemEvent_CellOvervoltage` 2. `DemDTCRef` → create `/Dem/DemConfigSet/DemDTC/DTC_CellOvervoltage` 3. `DemDTCValue`: `0x010203` 4. `DemDTCSeverity`: `DEM_SEVERITY_MAINTENANCE_ONLY` (adjust per HARA) 5. `DemDebounceAlgorithmClass` → `DEM_DEBOUNCE_COUNTER_BASED` 6. `DemDebounceCounterIncrStepSize`: 1; `DemDebounceCounterDecrStepSize`: 1 7. `DemDebounceCounterFailedThreshold`: 5; `DemDebounceCounterPassedThreshold`: 3 8. `DemEventKind`: `DEM_EVENT_KIND_SWC` 9. `DemOperationCycleRef` → `DemOperationCycle_PowerCycle` 10. `DemStorageConditionRef` → none (always store) 11. `DemEnableConditionRef` → none, or link to voltage plausibility condition #### NvM (event memory block) 1. Dem generates an NvM block reference — verify `DemNvRamBlockId` is assigned. 2. NvM block size = Dem primary event memory size (from Dem generator output). 3. `NvMWriteBlockOnce`: FALSE; `NvMCrcType`: CRC16; `NvMBlockUseCrc`: TRUE. ### Common Errors & Resolutions | Error | Root Cause | Fix | |------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------| | `DEM_E_NO_DTC_AVAILABLE` at runtime| DTC value not unique or out of range | Verify 3-byte DTC value unique in DemDTC list | | Event stuck in PREPASSED | PassedThreshold never reached | Confirm `Dem_SetEventStatus(PASSED)` is called | | NvM block size mismatch | Dem config changed after NvM block set | Regenerate Dem, then re-check NvM block size | ### Validation Checklist - [ ] DTC value 0x010203 unique across all DemDTC entries - [ ] DemEvent_CellOvervoltage referenced in SWC ARXML (DemEventRef in SWC InternalBehavior) - [ ] `Dem_SetEventStatus(DEM_EVENT_STATUS_FAILED/PASSED)` called correctly in SWC runnable - [ ] NvM block for Dem event memory included in `NvM_WriteAll` cycle - [ ] `Dem_MainFunction` period matches OS task period (typically 10 ms) ~~~ ### Example 2 — COM stack debugging (RX, wrong value) **Input:** SWC `EngineCtrl_AppSWC` reads signal `EngineSpeed_rpm` from R-port `RVehicleSpeed` on CAN ID 0x123 (powertrain bus, 500 kbit/s, 10 ms cycle). SWC observes a constant 0 rpm. CAN trace shows 0x123 present every 10 ms with payload `[20 03 00 00 00 00 00 00]` (little-endian `0x0320` = 800 rpm, signal in bytes 0–1, factor 1, offset 0). DBC defines the signal as `@1+` (Intel byte order). ASIL-QM. EB Tresos 27. Other signals on the same PDU are received correctly. **Output:** ~~~ ## COM Stack Debug Report ### Symptom Classification RX direction; "wrong value, constant" — bus has the right data, SWC sees init. Other signals from the same PDU are correct, exonerating CanDrv, CanIf, PduR, and PDU-level Com config. Fault is at **Com signal level** for this one signal. ### Bus-Level Confirmation Frame present every 10 ms, ID 0x123, DLC 8, payload `[20 03 …]` = `0x0320` = 800. Sender healthy; receive stack is the suspect. ### Layer Walk | Layer | Check | Expected | Observed / Next Probe | |----------|----------------------------------------------------|------------------|----------------------------------------| | CanDrv | Controller `CAN_CS_STARTED` | Started | Other signals OK → pass | | CanIf | `CanIfRxPduCfg` for ID 0x123 routes to PduR | UL = PDUR | Pass | | PduR | `PduRRoutingPath` Src=CanIf, Dest=Com | `PDUR_COM` | Pass | | Com | `ComSignal.ComSignalEndianness` | LITTLE_ENDIAN | **Set to BIG_ENDIAN — root cause** | | Com | `ComBitPosition` | 0 (Intel start) | Confirm against DBC | | RTE/SWC | `Rte_Read_RVehicleSpeed_EngineSpeed_rpm` reads | 800 | Sees `0x2003` byte-swapped → 0 after scaling | ### Most Likely Root Cause **`ComSignal.ComSignalEndianness` is set to `BIG_ENDIAN` while DBC defines `@1+` (Intel).** Com unpacks bytes in the wrong order; raw value becomes `0x2003`, then any clamp/range check downstream filters it back to 0 / init. ### Configuration Fix ``` Container: /AUTOSAR/EcuC/Com/ComConfig/ComSignal_EngineSpeed_rpm Attribute: ComSignalEndianness Before: BIG_ENDIAN After: LITTLE_ENDIAN Why: DBC signal is @1+ (Intel); receiver byte order must match sender. ``` ### Verification Steps 1. Apply fix, regenerate Com, rebuild. 2. On the next bench run with the same recorded trace, confirm SWC observes 800 rpm. 3. Add a counter inside the `ComNotification` callback for this signal — it should match the bus cycle count (~100/s for a 10 ms PDU). 4. Sweep 50–8000 rpm with a bus replay tool — confirm linearity, rule out residual scaling. ### Safety Impact ASIL-QM signal — no formal safety case update required. If a higher-ASIL signal sits in the same PDU, re-verify it after Com regenerate to confirm no regression. ### Prevention Rule When importing a DBC into AUTOSAR Com, cross-check `ComSignalEndianness` for every signal against the DBC `@0+` / `@1+` field. EB Tresos DBC importer's default depends on the chosen profile and silently picks BIG_ENDIAN for some toolchain versions. Add a one-line post-import script that diffs DBC byte order against generated Com config. ~~~
