Overview
The MCAL is the hardware-dependent layer of AUTOSAR that directly interfaces with the microcontroller peripherals. Proper MCAL configuration is critical for ECU performance, safety, and reliability.
This course covers MCAL module configuration and development for the three dominant automotive microcontroller families: Infineon AURIX, Renesas RH850, and NXP S32K.
You'll configure GPIO, ADC, SPI, CAN, and timer modules, understand clock trees, implement DMA transfers, and validate MCAL behavior through systematic testing approaches.
