Technical Supervisor: Mårten Hildell, ARCCORE AB Academic Supervisor: Sven Knutsson, Computer Science and Engineering Examiner: Per Larsson-Edefors, Computer Science and Engineering Master’s Thesis 2016 Department of Computer Science and Engineering Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg SE-412 96 Gothenburg Telephone +46 31 772 1000 Cover picture: Graphical representation of the sensor networks employed within an autonomous driven Volvo XC90. Copyright: Volvo Cars © Gothenburg, Sweden 2016 ii Abstract Testing an AUTOSAR application destined for an automotive Electronic Control Unit (ECU) can become an unpredictable situation, since the hardware availabil- ity of the target platform can be limited, if at all available. This thesis set out to provide developers with a virtual testing platform that would emulate the hardware behaviour in the shape of a Linux C-based application. The study was extended towards evaluating potential performance gains from running the developed appli- cation on high-end computers with similar performance levels as current powerful ECU hardware, which are able to host a UNIX-based operating system and execute multiple threads in parallel using the POSIX standard. The assessment of the gen- erated results is realised in terms of correctness of a predefined execution scenario, performance comparison to a set of reference results and standard real-time timing constraints for automotive software. Keywords: Linux, Adaptive AUTOSAR, POSIX, Operating Systems, Embedded Systems, Real-Time Systems. v Acknowledgements First and foremost, we would like to thank Johan Ekberg of ARCCORE AB for trusting us with this fascinating project work and providing us with all the neces- sary means to achieve our goals. Our deepest gratitude is due to our other technical supervisor in ARCCORE AB, Mårten Hilldel, without whose knowledge and day- to-day help this project would have not been successful. Special thanks also go to Simon Gaynor for his prior work and assistance on technical issues that troubled us during the course of our thesis. Our days in ARCCORE AB would be much less enjoyable without the support of all the employees of the company, who embraced us as their own and transformed the offices into a dream-place to work. We would also like to thank our academic supervisor Sven Knutsson, for his valuable comments on our project documentation. Furthermore, our true-hearted apprecia- tion goes to our examiner, Per Larsson-Edefors, for his critical feedback during the project and the motivation to produce work of high standards. Last but not least, we thank our families and friends, for their patience, their love and uninterrupted support throughout our studies.

    Hands-on Kernel Lab Based on the Yocto Project 1.4 release (dylan) April 2013 Tom Zanussi <[email protected]> Darren Hart <[email protected]> Introduction Welcome to the Yocto Project Hands-on Kernel Lab! During this session you will learn how to work effectively with the Linux kernel within the Yocto Project. The 'Hands-on Kernel Lab' is actually a series of labs that will cover the following topics: • Creating and using a traditional kernel recipe (lab1) • Using 'bitbake -c menuconfig' to modify the kernel configuration and replace the defconfig with the new configuration (lab1) • Adding a kernel module to the kernel source and configuring it as a built-in module by adding options to the kernel defconfig (lab1) • Creating and using a linux-yocto-based kernel (lab2) • Adding a kernel module to the kernel source and configuring it as a built-in module using linux-yocto 'config fragments' (lab2) • Using the linux-yocto kernel as an LTSI kernel (configuring in an item added by the LTSI kernel which is merged into linux-yocto) (lab2) • Using an arbitrary git-based kernel via the linux-yocto-custom kernel recipe (lab3) • Adding a kernel module to the kernel source of an arbitrary git-based kernel and configuring it as a loadable module using 'config fragments' (lab3) • Actually getting the module into the image and autoloading it on boot (lab3) • Using a local clone of an arbitrary git-based kernel via the linux-yocto- custom kernel recipe to demonstrate a typical development workflow (lab4) • Modifying the locally cloned custom
