A middleware journey from microcontrollers

to microprocessors

​

​

​

More and more modern automotive systems move to powerful, centralized POSIX systems instead of AUTOSAR Classic-based microcontrollers. Porting established software architectures leads to systems that suffer from poor performance.

 

Your takeaways from this white paper:

 

  • Where AUTOSAR Classic and ROS 2 differ in execution and communication.

  • The pitfalls that lead to poor performance.

  • The mechanisms provided by Apex.OS and Apex.Middleware to address the performance issues.
