ARXML

The XML exchange format of AUTOSAR, describing software components and the communication matrix of a whole vehicle — CAN, LIN, FlexRay and Ethernet — in one model. Carmakers increasingly hand suppliers ARXML instead of DBC files.

Abbreviation
.arxml
Also called
AUTOSAR XML

Example

Data, communication and electronics: an example situation

2500 in a log might mean 25.00 °C, 2.5 V or raw counts. Units and scale must accompany the value.

Read ARXML alongside Automotive Ethernet in this context. Ethernet over a single twisted pair, now the backbone of newer vehicle networks where CAN’s bandwidth runs out. Battery systems still use CAN for control but increasingly send high-rate cell data and software updates over Ethernet.

Use in Lemonergy

Separate quantities from encoding and transport.

This is a reference concept. No executable Lemonergy block has been verified for this term.
