AUTOSAR Head-Up Display
AUTOSAR-compliant HUD architecture and faster CI/CD for embedded software. As Senior Embedded Software Engineer at a global Tier 1 automotive supplier (2019–2021), I worked on head-up display software for instrument clusters.
The case study
Technologies: AUTOSAR, embedded C/C++, instrument cluster and HUD software, CI/CD automation
The challenge
A HUD puts key information in the driver's line of sight, so it must be reliable
It has to integrate cleanly with the wider instrument cluster
Repeated deliveries to carmaker customers stretched build and release processes
My approach
AUTOSAR layered architecture separating application, basic software and hardware
Standards-based interfaces between the HUD and the instrument cluster
Automated build, test and release steps in the CI/CD pipeline
An AUTOSAR-compliant HUD architecture
A streamlined CI/CD process, so changes were integrated and released more consistently
