Why to learn Autosar MCAL Software Programming??

Autosar MCAL Layer is Lowest Layer on Autosar Software Tech Stack. It serves as the Global Level Real Time Driver's for using the peripherals of any Automotive Microcontroller's. 


 Whether you are working on NXP, Infineon, Renesas, TI or any other Semiconductor MCU to use the peripheral of those MCU's there is use of Autosar MCAL Layer, or we can say RTD based on Autosar MCAL Layer Standard. Its expertise is highly in demand in both the automotive and semiconductor industries due to the increasing complexity of vehicle electronics, the push for software-defined vehicles, and the growing adoption of AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System Architecture) as an industry standard.

Demand in the Automotive Industry

  • OEMs & Tier-1 Suppliers (e.g., Bosch, Continental, Denso) rely heavily on MCAL for standardized software development across multiple microcontroller platforms.
  • MCAL developers ensure hardware abstraction, allowing software components to work independently of the microcontroller, which is critical for ADAS, EVs, autonomous driving, and safety-critical systems.
  • Strong need for MCAL engineers in:
    • Body Control Modules (BCM)
    • Powertrain & Battery Management Systems (BMS)
    • Chassis & Safety Systems (ABS, ESC, Airbags)
    • Infotainment & Connectivity

      • Demand in the Semiconductor Industry

      • MCU and SoC vendors like NXP, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, Renesas, Texas Instruments need MCAL expertise to develop AUTOSAR-compliant firmware for their automotive microcontrollers.
      • These companies provide pre-validated MCAL layers to Tier-1s and OEMs, reducing development time.
      • MCAL expertise is crucial for porting software to new chip architectures and ensuring compliance with ISO 26262 (functional safety).

        • What all things this package consist's of

        This package consists of 9 courses, each course is a well detailed course on Autosar MCAL Driver covering Input/Output Peripheral Driver (PORT, DIO, ADC, PWM, ICU) and Communication Peripheral Driver's (CAN, SPI).

        The course dwells deep into understanding of the MCAL Driver Specs, MCAL Driver GUI Configuration's, MCAL Driver API's usage, parameters to send to those API's and functional concepts of different MCAL Driver Stack for the automotive MCU's like NXP(S32), Infenion( Aurix Tri Core), Renesas(RH850) and etc. In the course we do Handson learning using NXP Semiconductors S32K144 Automotive MCU.

        MCAL Layer Driver's covered in the course are:

        1. I/O Drivers: PORT, DIO, ADC, PWM, ICU
        2. Communication Drivers: CAN, SPI
        3. CDD: UART, I2C

Courses Part of this Package

Key to Learning, is by laying the basics strong

How is the course taken?

The package is fully available in online mode, so that learners can access the content anytime and easily. There are 9 courses in this package (as stated below). Each Course has majorly 3 Chapter's:

  • MCAL Driver Functional Concept Understanding
  1. In this we dwell into MCAL Specs and Functional Concept understanding of how the corresponding MCAL Driver works. Getting familiarizes with the terminologies which are used in corresponding MCAL Driver GUI Configuration.
  2. Also, In this chapter we dwell into S32K144 MCU Peripheral Understanding of corresponding MCAL Driver from datasheet and pinouts.
  • MCAL Driver GUI Configuration and API Understanding
  1. In this we dwell into understanding of different MCAL Driver GUI Menu Sections, which menu sections to configure and how to configure them.
  2. Further we dwell into understanding of different MCAL Driver API's understanding. How to use them, what parameter's to send to them and in what chronology.
  • Functional Demo Code Development with MCAL Diver's:
  1. In this chapter we dwell into real Handson by creating a MCAL Driver Project from scratch in NXP S32 Deisgn Studio IDE.
  2. In this chapter we create 3-4 functional demo code's and DiY projects for each MCAL Driver by running them over real time hardware ElecronicsV3 Board.
  3. Also, best part is in this chapter we do on call and live Embedded Software Development and Debugging to understand things in crisp and impactful way. Understanding of different compilation error, how to debug the MCAL Software API's and then build the Functional projects using them to conclude our learning's.
  4. For learners, who are learning from scratch and totally new to Autosar world.
  • Further Each Course is filled with 10-15 Quiz Questions and assignments to fine tune the learning of the learners.
  • Also, PDF's and PPT's also available for different chapters and topics during the course.

Common F&Q for this package

  • Do You need EbTressos or DaVinci Autosar Configurator tools or license for this course?
  1. No, we don't need tools like EbTressos or DaVinci. For learning and doing DiY hands-on on the Autosar MCAL Layer, we are going to use S32 Design Studio IDE by NXP Semiconductor's. It is free of use and can be installed by following steps: Getting Started with S32 Design Studio Part 1 - Get-To-Byte.
  2. S32 Design Studio IDE has full autosar code configurator/generation and development tool for NXP S32 Automotive MCU's.
  • What is the Recommended chronology to follow:
  1. Procurement of ElecronicsV3 Board (Buy it with the course, see the pricing).
  2. Installation and Setup of S32 Design Studio: Getting Started with S32 Design Studio Part 1 - Get-To-Byte
  3. Port Module of Autosar MCAL Layer
  4. PWM Driver of Autosar MCAL Module
  5. ADC module of Autosar MCAL layer
  6. ICU Driver of Autosar MCAL Layer
  7. SPI Driver of Autosar MCAL Layer
  8. CAN Driver of Autosar MCAL Layer
  9. I2C Driver of Autosar MCAL Layer
  10. UART Driver of Autosar MCAL Layer
