Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of FOTA upgrade technology, and in particular to a method and system for adaptive parallel upgrade of an automobile system based on multi-domain control. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of vehicle intelligence and networking, in order to make smart cars always new, the intelligent system is constantly updated. Remote upgrading of vehicle-side software has become a common method for modern OEM software updates. Through over-the-air technology, the air interface of mobile communication is used to achieve remote management of mobile terminal devices; ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is an electronic control unit, which is a comprehensive control device of the engine. It calculates, processes, judges and outputs instructions for various information input by various sensors of the engine according to its own stored programs, and then controls the actions of relevant actuators to achieve the purpose of fast, accurate and automatic control of engine operation; Due to the diversity and complexity of ECU software and hardware data on the automotive terminal, there are problems such as low efficiency of remote updating of vehicle-side software and long software flashing time;

[0003] The patent with application number CN202311420350.9 proposes an adaptive vehicle OTA upgrade method and device, and the patent with application number CN202311042853.7 proposes a multi-domain parallel upgrade control method based on a domain architecture vehicle model. These two patents mention the process of parallel flashing of the vehicle's firmware under the multi-domain control architecture of the car, but they emphasize the generation of parallel upgrade tasks on the server side. After the tasks are issued, the main control on the vehicle side parses and flashes the vehicles in parallel in a multi-threaded manner. The parallel flashing solution in the solution reduces the overall upgrade time and improves the user experience; however, these solutions rely too much on the multi-threading mechanism of the main control program. Once the performance of the main control program host ECU reaches a bottleneck, it is not conducive to the subsequent flashing tasks; there are large requirements for storage space for the main control host ECU, which puts great pressure on the central gateway.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an adaptive parallel upgrade method and system for automobile systems based on multi-domain control. Summary of the invention
