A short interactive course

AUTOSAR COM in plain words

What the COM module of the AUTOSAR Classic Platform does, explained simply, with something to click in every lesson. It starts with the big picture and works down to configuration and bits.

How to use it. Go through the lessons in order. Each takes five to ten minutes and needs no preparation and no tools, only this browser. You do not need to know AUTOSAR. Each lesson uses plain words first and gives you the official AUTOSAR word at the end.

Sheets to keep

COM at a glance: every feature on one page.
Plain words and AUTOSAR words: the word list.
Signal packing: the bit-level cheat sheet.

When you configure COM yourself

Configuration help: a configurator that turns plain answers into settings, a recipe book and a troubleshooting guide.

Facts are checked against the AUTOSAR Classic Platform specifications, release R25-11, mainly the Specification of Communication. Timings in the toys are slowed down so you can watch them; real systems work in milliseconds.
