Master the architecture, security principles, and update workflows of automotive bootloaders. This Automotive ECU Bootloader Training provides theoretical concepts on boot architecture and firmware update mechanisms such as UDS reprogramming anf FW Over-The-Air (FOTA).
Course overview
This course provides in-depth knowledge of automotive ECU bootloader architecture through a comprehensive theoretical overview of bootloader design for MCU-based ECUs. This Automotive ECU Bootloader Training is aligned with industry standards and real-world deployment challenges. Participants will explore the conceptual foundations necessary for developing robust bootloaders. Some sections will include illustrative code snippets to connect theoretical concepts with practical understanding.
Objectives
- Automotive ECU Bootloader Architecture and AUTOSAR
Understand the role of the BootManager and Flash Bootloader in AUTOSAR systems. - Secure Boot vs. Authenticated Boot
