Note: I encountered a lot of pitfalls when installing ETAS today:
The software needs to be installed in the Windows virtual machine of VMware, because the software license bought by the company’s ETAS tool is bound to the mac address of the computer, so if you want to use the ETAS software, you must use a virtual machine and then change the mac address. The ETAS software can be used normally only after the software is installed and licensed.

1. Introduction to ISOLAR tools
AUTOSAR, as a topic that cannot be avoided in software development in the automotive industry today, has always been very popular on the Internet, but there is still relatively little information on specific tool development, so here is an introduction about the development tool ISOLAR.
1. Introduction to ISOLAR tools
ETAS has a set of AUTOSAR solutions, as shown in the figure below, which means that in each development process, ETAS has corresponding tools to support our development.
ISOLAR tools mainly include ISOLAR-AB, RTA-BSW, RTA-OS, RTA-RTE. After purchasing the tools, the supplier will provide the following installation packages:
RTA_CAR_setup.exe is an executable file for summary installation. Double-click RTA_CAR_setup.exe to install the above four software installation packages in sequence.
2. JESUS-AB
ISOLAR-AB includes two tools, ISOLAR-A and ISOLAR-B. ISOLAR-A is used for application software development, mainly for developing software architecture. ISOLAR-B is used to develop and configure basic software.
Open the ISOLAR-AB installation package, double-click loader.exe,
The following interface will pop up:
Stand-alone Main option, you can see the installation options of ISOLAR-A/B:
Click ISOLAR-A/B Product Installation(64-bit only), and the installation window will pop up:
Click on Proceed to Install:
After selecting the D disk, you can install it with a stand-alone Install. Note that at the same time, the ETAS License Manager will also be installed at the same time, which will be used when loading the license later.
3. RTA-BSW
ISOLAR-B is used for the configuration of the underlying software, and RTA-BSW is used for the code generation of the underlying software. So we also need to install RTA-BSW.
Double-click setup.exe to install. It should be noted that RTA-BSW can only be installed if ISOLAR-A/B is installed. If ISOLAR-A/B is not installed, the version number in the window below is empty, and the installation cannot continue.
Go on down:
Select the installation path:
ETAS License Manager has been installed before, so you don't need to choose it here.
Successful installation.
4. RTA-OS
The next step is to install RTA-OS, also double-click autostart.exe, and the following interface will pop up:
Click on RTA-OS in the middle section and enter the installer:
After selecting the installation directory, you can start the installation:
Click Next to:
Click Next:
Click Install:
After the installation is complete, a new VRTA installation window will pop up, just continue to go down:
Also choose a good directory:
Click Next:
Next：
After clicking Install, the installation is successful:
5. RTA-RTE
Finally install RTA-RTE, the installation process is similar, refer to the screenshot below.
6. Load license
First find the previously installed ETAS License Manager and run it.
You can see that the ISOLAR software is unavailable now, so click Add License File under the file option:
This interface is the window for loading the license file, and the ISOLAR software can be enabled by adding the license file here.
7. Summary
After the above steps, you can complete the installation of the ISOLAR development tool, or use RTA_CAR_setup.exe to start the entire installation process from top to bottom. The steps are the same, so there is no need to worry.
When I have time later, I will talk about the specific development and application, and see what you want to know, and you can leave a message.
