The ArcCore team will soon launch a new set of innovative products that – together with ArcCores current set of efficient and easy-to-use tools – add substantial benefits for developers of AUTOSAR ECUs. The up-coming official release of the new tools enables ArcCore to provide a cost efficient embedded development tool chain for the development of automotive ECUs fully utilizing the benefits of the AUTOSAR standard. The new products are integrated in the Arctic Studio platform and make full use of the benefits of the open platform Eclipse and the AUTOSAR promoted Artop framework. As the current ArcCore product BSW Builder, the new products will be provided as commercial plug-ins to Arctic Studio:
- The SWC Builder is an editor to create software components (SWCs). The editor features smart selection, validation and common workflow actions.
- The Extract Builder is tailored to support developers who use model-based application development tools and developers of SWC to integrate SWCs and connections between SWC and generate an ECU Extract.
- The RTE Builder provides an editor to configure an AUTOSAR RTE. The editor features validation, task to runnable mapping and generation of OS objects. The RTE Builder also includes a code generator to generate the RTE.
Beta versions of the new products are available and currently used by a number of early users providing valuable feed-back to the ArcCore team for the final tuning of the products to the first official release. The ArcCore team invites a few more experienced users to participate in the final validation program before the official release in mid September, contact ArcCore to apply for Beta versions.

- The IO Hardware Abstraction module creates an ECU Abstraction Component with ports for use with the DIO driver.
- The DEM modules creates a ServiceComponentType with ports for use with the configured DEM events.
- New “New configuration” wizard.
- Is based on Artop 2.1
- Fully prepared for integration to ArcCore up-coming new products RTE Builder and SWC Builder.
More about what is new in BSW Builder 2.4 can be found here. We recommend all users to upgrade to latest versions of Arctic Studio and BSW Builder.
BSW Builder 2.4 is available as a commercial plug-in to the Arctic Studio embedded development environment. Time limited trial licenses for quick and easy evaluation can be requested here.

A new version of Arctic Studio, the complete IDE for efficient and easy embedded development of AUTOSAR systems based on the open source embedded platform Arctic Core is today released.
The new release, Arctic Studio 1.3, is built on Eclipse Helios (3.6.0) and is now completely self contained. No installers or any other interaction with the operating system is required. Just unzip to install. This means that:
- Mercurial is now distributed within Arctic Studio.
- MSYS is now distributed within Core Builder which is a part of Arctic Studio.
Arctic Studio 1.3 includes Core Builder 2.0 where:
- MSYS replaces Cygwin as build environment for Windows.
- Support for different architectures are now installed from within Arctic Studio as separate Core Builders. Each Core Builder contains toolchains and compilers. The following Core Builders are available today; Core Builder for PowerPC and Core Builder for HCS12
More information about Arctic Studio 1.3 can be found here and more information about Core Builder 2.0 can be found here.
