This paper has presented the application of an approach to develop a controller for an electrohydraulic brake system up to production code level on a virtual AUTOSAR ECU. The designed controllers show very good behavior. The EHBS controller is accurate in the steady state, and the transient pressure errors are rapidly compensated. With the recuperation controller, the overall system fulfills the requirements of recuperative braking while providing a high level of comfort. The transition to the virtual AUTOSAR ECU is supported by a tool chain that allows function developers to design and test a complex controller on different levels of abstraction using simulation. Starting in MATLAB/Simulink, the controller's behavior form the basis for generating the production code in dSPACE TargetLink, which is then further integrated as a software architecture and finally on a virtual AUTOSAR ECU using dSPACE SystemDesk. To bring the ECU model closer to the final ECU software, the basic software modules for the operating system and ECU state management were configured and simulated on dSPACE VEOS, the PC-based offline simulation platform. The virtual ECU complies with the AUTOSAR standard, which is becoming established at a growing number of manufacturers. The simulation results on the integrated software level agree with the MIL and SIL simulation, which shows that the AUTOSAR configuration, including the basic software, is suitable for the application software. This reduces the number of possible errors during later integration into an existing system, so fewer iterations between the system architect and the function developer are needed. This effectively saves development time.
