Configure AUTOSAR Adaptive XML Options

R2026b

To configure AUTOSAR adaptive XML options for ARXML export, open a model for which a mapped AUTOSAR Adaptive software component has been created and open the AUTOSAR Dictionary. Select XML Options.

The XML options view in the AUTOSAR Dictionary displays configuration options for exported ARXML files. You can configure:

• ARXML file packaging for AUTOSAR elements created in Simulink^®

• AUTOSAR package paths

• Whether to allow implementation data type references

• Default values for SwCalibrationAccess

• Whether to export internal data constraints

Exported XML File Packaging

In the XML options view, you can specify the granularity of XML file packaging for AUTOSAR elements created in Simulink. Imported AUTOSAR XML files retain their file structure, as described in Round-Trip Preservation of AUTOSAR XML File Structure and Element Information. Select one of the following values for Exported XML file packaging.

• Single file — Exports XML into a single file, modelname.arxml.

• Modular — Exports XML into multiple files, named according to the type of information contained.

  Exported File Name	File Contents
  modelname_component.arxml	Adaptive software components, including required and provided ports. This file is the main ARXML file exported for the Simulink model. In addition to software components, the component file contains packageable elements that the exporter does not move to data type or interface files based on AUTOSAR element category.
  modelname_datatype.arxml	Data types and related elements, including: Application data types Standard Cpp implementation data types Constant specifications Physical data constraints Units and unit groups Software record layouts
  modelname _interface.arxml	Adaptive interfaces, including required and provided service interfaces with namespaces, events, and methods.

Alternatively, you can programmatically configure exported XML file packaging by calling the AUTOSAR set function. For property ArxmlFilePackaging, specify either "SingleFile" or "Modular". For example:

arProps = autosar.api.getAUTOSARProperties(hModel);
set(arProps,"XmlOptions",ArxmlFilePackaging="SingleFile");

Note

The autosar.api.getAUTOSARProperties function is not supported for AUTOSAR Adaptive models created or upgraded in R2026b. For these models, use the AUTOSAR Dictionary to configure XML options.

For the Adaptive Platform, model builds also generate XML manifests for AUTOSAR executables and service instances. For more information, see Generate AUTOSAR Adaptive C++ and ARXML Files.

AUTOSAR Package Paths

In the XML options view, you can configure AUTOSAR packages (AR-PACKAGEs), which contain groups of AUTOSAR elements and reside in a hierarchical AR-PACKAGE structure. The AR-PACKAGE structure for a component is logically distinct from the ARXML file partitioning selected with the XML option Exported XML file packaging or imported from AUTOSAR XML files. For more information about AUTOSAR packages, see Configure AUTOSAR Packages.

Inspect and modify the AUTOSAR package paths grouped under the headings Package Paths and Additional Packages.

Alternatively, you can programmatically configure an AUTOSAR package path by calling the AUTOSAR set function. Specify a package property name and a package path. For example:

arProps = autosar.api.getAUTOSARProperties(hModel);
set(arProps,"XmlOptions","ApplicationDataTypePackage",...
    '/Company/Powertrain/DataTypes/ApplDataTypes');

For more information about AUTOSAR package property names and defaults, see Configure AUTOSAR Packages and Paths.

Additional XML Options

In the XML options view, under the heading Additional Options, you can configure aspects of exported AUTOSAR XML content.

You can:

• Optionally override the default behavior for generating AUTOSAR application data types in ARXML code. To force generation of an application data type for each AUTOSAR data type, change the value of ImplementationDataType Reference from Allowed to NotAllowed.

• Control the default value of the SwCalibrationAccess property of generated AUTOSAR measurement variables, calibration parameters, and signal and parameter data objects. For SwCalibrationAccess DefaultValue, select one of the following values:

  • ReadOnly — Read access only.

  • ReadWrite (default) — Read and write access.

  • NotAccessible — Not accessible with calibration and measurement tools.

• Optionally override the default behavior for generating internal data constraint information for AUTOSAR implementation data types in ARXML code. To force export of internal data constraints for implementation data types, select the option Internal DataConstraints Export.

Alternatively, you can programmatically configure the additional XML options by calling the AUTOSAR set function. Specify a property name and value. The valid property names are ImplementationTypeReference, SwCalibrationAccessDefault, InternalDataConstraintExport, IdentifyServiceInstance, and NetworkBinding. For example:

arProps = autosar.api.getAUTOSARProperties(hModel);
set(arProps,"XmlOptions","ImplementationTypeReference","NotAllowed");
set(arProps,"XmlOptions","SwCalibrationAccessDefault","ReadOnly");
set(arProps,"XmlOptions","InternalDataConstraintExport",true);
