1. Introduction¶

1.1. What is RTI Connext DDS Network Binding for Vector MICROSAR Adaptive?¶

RTI Connext DDS Network Binding for Vector MICROSAR Adaptive is a complementary library for Vector MICROSAR Adaptive implementing the DDS Network Binding of the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform Communications Management Functional Cluster (ara::com for short).

1.1.1. The AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform and RTI Connext¶

The AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform provides processes, metamodels, and tooling for the development of ECU software in the automotive industry. A key element of ECU modeling in AUTOSAR Adaptive is the Adaptive Application, whose intra- and inter-ECU interfaces (with other software components) are modeled in great detail before the actual functional behavior is implemented. See the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform webpage for more details.

RTI Connext, RTI Connext Micro and RTI Connext Cert are RTI’s DDS middleware implementations that target constrained, real-time, and safety platforms. These include POSIX-based platforms with UDP/IP and IPC support. More information on Connext Pro, Connext Micro and Connext Cert can be found on the RTI website.

1.1.2. Dependencies¶

RTI Connext DDS Network Binding for Vector MICROSAR Adaptive is not a self-contained DDS Network Binding, it simply binds the 3rd-party Network Binding architecture of Vector MICROSAR Adaptive to the following RTI components:

RTI Connext AUTOSAR Runtime Adaptive Code Generator for generation of application-specific DDS Network Binding support assets targeting:
RTI Connext AUTOSAR Runtime Adaptive DDS Network Binding Library which implements the actual DDS Network Binding on top of:
RTI Connext, RTI Connext Micro or RTI Connext Cert, each implementing the OMG DDS middleware APIs and type system

1.1.3. Example¶

RTI Connext DDS Network Binding for Vector MICROSAR Adaptive includes, along its base, core and transformation libraries for Vector MICROSAR Adaptive, a working example in source code form. Please consult Usage for further details.

1.2. Installing RTI Connext DDS Network Binding for Vector MICROSAR Adaptive¶

RTI Connext DDS Network Binding for Vector MICROSAR Adaptive is provided as a separately downloadable add-on package for Connext Drive, which can be installed using either RTI Launcher or the rtipkginstall command-line utility. Additional information about installation of RTI add-on packages can be found at Installing Connext, in the Getting Started Guide. For more information, see https://www.rti.com/drive.
