Hi, I have a question regarding the option of "configuring a model as an AUTOSAR component" in Simulink. My understanding is that in this process, the data types used in the constants /signals/etc of Simulink models should be mapped to AUTOSAR's data types, which are defined in the Generic Structure Template in a package called Primitive Types.
However, after configuring a Simulink model as an AUTOSAR component and generating its ARXML files in Simulink, I found that the ARXML files have data types defined in them other than those in the GenericStructure Template. For example, the ARXML files have an Int32 data type which is not in the GenericStructure template; the GenericStructure Template has an Integer data type. Note that the data types in the ARXML files are tagged as "Implementation-Data-Types".
Thus, if the process of "configuring a model as an AUTOSAR component" in Simulink maps the data types to comply with AUTOSAR's data types, why do the data types in the generated ARXML files not correspond to the data types in the GenericStructure template? Or , do the data types in the ARXML files correspond to the types that will be used in code generation ?
Thanks a lot
