This paper addresses the challenges in the software lifecycle during vehicle production, particularly extended in-line flashing times and unstable commissioning processes.

To this end, the concept of production-oriented software partitioning is introduced. This novel software partitioning approach proposes physically isolating the production-related software components. The concept was successfully implemented on a microcontroller with a fully functional AUTOSAR Classic platform. By dividing the software into a stable base component and frequently changing customer-specific components, the duration of in-line flashing can be reduced due to the smaller data volume, and reliability during commissioning can be increased. The methodology enables the conversion of existing legacy systems and offers the potential for rapid integration into series production.
