METHOD FOR DESIGNING AN APPLICATION TASK ARCHITECTURE OF AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT WITH ONE OR MORE VIRTUAL CORES

Disclosed is a method for designing an application task architecture for an electronic control unit based on an AUTOSAR operating system that is adaptable to a plurality of microcontrollers. Prior to association with a microcontroller, the method involves developing the application task architecture by using at least one virtual core different from the one or more cores of the microcontroller, the various tasks being assigned respectively to the at least one virtual core, and associating the at least one virtual core with the one or more cores of the microcontroller so as to allocate tasks assigned to the at least one virtual core to the core or among the cores of the microcontroller.
