Starting with our extensive AUTOSAR experience and your project goals, we jointly carry out a customized action package for you, from which you realize sustained benefits from our competence. 2.1 Overview of advantages > Made-to-order: tailored to your specific situation by our engineering team > Time saving: Quick implementation of your application with our support > Value preserving: Efficient and effective buildup of know-how at your company 2.2 Application Areas 2.2.1 AUTOSAR Training Vector AUTOSAR training courses provide you with an ideal entry into ECU development with AUTOSAR. Intensive exercises ensure its relevance to practice. For the list of available Vector in-house training courses on the Internet, please visit our website: www.vector.com/autosar-training, for example our trainings for AUTOSAR basics, usage of AUTOSAR 3 and 4 in practice, OEM related trainings and special topics such as Safety. We would also be glad to conduct these training courses at your business site. It is possible to adapt the training content to your individual needs. 2.2.2 Installation and Support with the MICROSAR "Getting Started Package" You have already gained familiarity with the topic of AUTOSAR and are now using our MICROSAR solution in a specific project. Using the right configuration tools, first we work together with you to start up the MICROSAR basic software (BSW) and the RTE on your ECU hardware using the related configuration tools. For this purpose we use a sample application. This quickly gives you a runnable system, letting you afterwards focus on your application. This support is typically performed at your business site and is done at a fixed price. The main targets of this package are: > Communication works on all busses > Diagnostics responds on a basic service request > Non-volatile memory is accessible. www.vector.com 4

The package also contains an activity report after closure of the service. Afterwards, our hotline support is available to you by telephone or email, which ensures continuous support in case you have questions about how to use our products. Additionally, a budget of 20hours of support is included to ensure follow up assistance. 2.2.3 Vector-approved update of your ECU configuration with MICROSAR "Update Package" You already have an existing configuration which you want to update to a new database. We execute this task for you and ensure that your ECU configuration is working free from errors with the new communication and diagnostics description. The service goal is that the communication works on all busses according to the new communication description and an update for the diagnostics. We perform this service at a fixed price together with the customer either at the customer site or at Vector. Also this service package contains an activity report after closure of the service. The MICROSAR update package is expandable by further options, please contact our service team for further information. 2.2.4 Review of your Configuration with the MICROSAR "Verification Package" You have been using our AUTOSAR Embedded Software for a longer period of time, and you are approaching an important project milestone. Based on prepared checklists, we conduct an integration and configuration review related to the concrete usage of the MICROSAR stack. In this process, we evaluate the completeness, correctness and consistency of the selected settings and the required integration code. In particular, specific aspects of the OEM are considered, such as parameters, configuration settings, as well as provided software components. 2.2.5 MICROSAR Coaching In MICROSAR Coaching, we accompany your ECU development during concept phase and in practice phase. We focus on addressing your individual needs and support you e.g. in: > Initializing the hardware, including CPU Clock and PLL > Integrating the MICROSAR components in the project structure > Individual configuration of the operating system > Starting and stopping the bus communication depending on the network state > Providing the necessary I/O signal interfaces, including signal processing via the RTE > ECU and mode management in power up and shut down > Integration of diagnostics, error memory and memory management in your ECU software > Linking of the applications to watchdog management > Integration of further standard software from the OEM The Premium Support, which is included in any coaching agreement, contains on-site support in addition to the telephone and email Hotline. Based on the specific objectives that were agreed on, we ensure individual support of your project. 2.2.6 AUTOSAR Consulting In the framework of AUTOSAR consulting, together with you we can work out individual, technical solutions to various questions related to AUTOSAR: > Definition of an AUTOSAR-conformant software architecture > Optimal use of the AUTOSAR tool chain: DaVinci Developer, Configurator Pro and GENy > Migration of existing software to the AUTOSAR architecture > Conceptualization of gateway functions > Structuring of MATLAB/Simulink models to be linked as software components via the RTE > Interfacing external peripheral components www.vector.com 5

> Hardware-dependent Sleep and Wakeup concepts under consideration of individual quiescent current requirements > Consideration of aspects related to Functional Safety according to ISO 26262 We are performing these consulting activities as customized workshops. This ensures that the worked-out solutions optimally fit into your ECU project. 2.2.7 Extended Integration Package (EIP) The Extended Integration Package is a pre-defined (standardized) project work for the integration of the OEM-specific standard software on your ECU. It offers an efficient start for your project and allows an early and successful execution of bench tests with the OEM. For details on the content of this service package, please refer to the separate Product Information "MICROSAR" at www.vector.com/pi_microsar_en. 3 Software Engineering Services Vector is the market leader in OEM-specific standard software, for example for communication, diagnostics, operating systems, flash download and low level drivers.
