Getting started
AutoC is an AI assistant for AUTOSAR BSW configuration. Install once, start from your project directory, log in, then drive EB tresos, DaVinci, ETAS, and other toolchains in natural language.
1. Install
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| Windows x64 | autoc-windows-x64.zip |
| Linux x64 | autoc-linux-x64.tar.gz |
| Linux ARM64 | autoc-linux-arm64.tar.gz |
Windows: Unzip (e.g. to D:\software\autoc-windows-x64) and add to PATH. Install Windows Terminal. Bash setup: Windows setup.
Linux: chmod +x autoc, add its directory to PATH.
2. Start from the project directory
Working directory = the folder your terminal is in when you launch (shown in the footer). cd to the project root, then run autoc — no need to copy autoc into each project.
cd D:\projects\my-eb-project
autocThe footer should show the project path. If it shows the autoc install folder, quit, cd to the project root, and try again.
