[0038] Example 1

[0039] This embodiment provides a CAN bus that transmits standard frame messages and extended frame messages at the same time, and its structure is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. Includes:

[0040] The CanIf layer is used to assign CAN messages to CAN interfaces according to the CAN bus cluster and CAN ID in the CAN message description file, and to create and configure the parameter containers of the receive protocol data unit and the send protocol data unit.

[0041] CAN messages include extended frame messages and standard frame messages, and are communication messages related to control functions.

[0042] The parameter container configuration content of the receiving protocol data unit includes: CAN ID, data length, message receiving node and response sequence number. The parameter container configuration content of the sending protocol data unit includes: CAN ID, data length, message sending node and response sequence number.

[0043] The CAN ID of the parameter container of the received protocol data unit is a CAN extended frame message ID.

[0044] Specifically, the CAN interface is CanIfInitHohCfg, the parameter container of the receiving protocol data unit is CanIfTxPduCfg, the parameter container of the sending protocol data unit is TxIndicationUL, and the response sequence number is PduRef.

[0045] The CanTp layer includes channels used only for standard frame messages and channels used only for extended frame messages, as well as the corresponding configurations for receiving service data units and sending service data units.

[0046] The configuration of receiving service data units and sending service data units includes parameters CanTpBs, CanTpNar, CanTpNbr, CanTpNcr, CanTpSTmin, CanTpRxTaType and CanTpRxPaddingActivation.

[0048] The routing configuration includes the sending routing PdurDestPdur and the receiving routing PdurSrcPdur, which are used to associate the PduR module with the CanTp module and the PduR layer with the Dcm module.

[0049] The EcuC layer is a virtual module that includes a global protocol data unit corresponding to the configuration of each layer.

[0050] In the configuration of ECU, some information needs to be shared among multiple BSWQ modules. Since it is impossible to define who owns the shared information, the virtual module EcuC is introduced.

[0051] The global protocol data units corresponding to the configuration of each layer include global protocol data units associated with the extended frame message.

[0052] The global protocol data unit (PDU) includes the global protocol data unit (PDU) from the Dcm module to the PduR module, the PduR module to the CanTp module, the CanTp module to the CanIf module, the CanIf module to the CanTp module, the CanTp module to the PduR module, and the PduR module to the Dcm module, associating the protocol data units (PDUs) of each layer. The global PDU in the EcuC module does not need to care about its data type, only the length of the protocol data unit (PDU).

[0053] The microcontroller abstraction layer (MCUAL) includes a communication driver that includes at least two first CAN mailboxes for sending and receiving extended frame messages, and a CAN mailbox for sending and receiving standard frame messages. The MCUAL also includes two second CAN mailboxes corresponding to the two first CAN mailboxes, which are used to establish a connection between the underlying chip and the CAN module. Specifically, the CAN hardware objects in the communication driver within the MCUAL include the extended type EXTENDED and the standard type STANDARD. The CAN hardware objects herein are of the extended type EXTENDED. The CAN mailboxes receive messages using a first-in, first-out (FIFO) model.

[0054] The CAN bus in this embodiment can realize the simultaneous transmission of extended frame messages and standard frame messages.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] This embodiment provides a configuration method for a CAN bus that transmits standard frame messages and extended frame messages at the same time. This configuration method is applicable to the configuration of the CAN bus that transmits standard frame messages and extended frame messages at the same time as described in Example 1. Figure 2 As shown, the steps include:

[0057] S1. Configure the communication driver in the microcontroller abstraction layer, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0058] Specifically, add 2 first CAN mailboxes to the original CAN mailbox

[0059] CANNODE_0_Tx_Std_MailBox_2 and CANNODE_0_Rx_Std_MailBox_2, CanIdType is set to EXTENDED.

[0060] Furthermore, the CAN hardware object in the communication driver in the microcontroller abstraction layer includes an extended type EXTENDED and a standard type STANDARD, and the CAN hardware object here is set to the extended type EXTENDED.

[0061] S2. Configure the CanIf layer to associate the CanIf module with the CanTp module and the Canif module with the CAN driver module, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0062] The CanIf layer is used to assign CAN messages to CAN interfaces based on the CAN bus cluster and CAN ID in the CAN message description file, and to create and configure parameter containers for receive and transmit protocol data units. The parameter container configuration content of the receive protocol data unit includes: CAN ID, data length, message receiving node, and response sequence number; the parameter container configuration content of the transmit protocol data unit includes: CAN ID, data length, message sending node, and response sequence number.

[0063] Specifically, the two CAN mailboxes of the CAN driver layer are matched in the sub-items CanIfBufferCfg and CanIfInitHohCfg of CanIfInitCfg. The CAN communication messages Diag_FOTA_request_CANNODE_0 and Diag_FOTA_response_CANNODE_0 related to the control function are configured in the sub-items CanIfRxPduCfg and CanIfTxPduCfg.

[0064] Furthermore, CanIfRxPduCanId is set to the CAN extended frame message ID, that is, the identifier of the CAN interface for receiving CAN L-pdu, and CanIfRxPduCanIdType is set to EXTENDED_CAN, that is, the identifier of the CAN receiving CAN L-PDU, which is received by the CAN driver.

[0065] Furthermore, CAN L-PDU and EXTENDED_CAN represent CAN extended frame messages. CAN L-PDU is associated with Diag_FOTA_request_CANNODE_0_CanIf2CanTp, and EXTENDED_CAN is associated with Diag_FOTA_response_CANNODE_0_CanTp2CanIf.

[0066] Among them, the CAN message includes extended frame messages and standard frame messages, which are communication messages related to control functions. The frame structure of the standard frame consists of a start bit SOF, a frame type RTR or IDE, a frame identifier ID and data Data. The start bit identifies the beginning of a new CAN frame, the frame type field contains the remote transmission request RTR and the identifier extension bit IDE, and the frame identifier contains the unique identifier of the frame, which is used to distinguish different CAN frames. The data field contains the actual transmitted data. The frame structure of the extended frame also consists of a start bit SOF, a frame type RTR, IDE, an extended identifier SID and data Data. The frame identifier of the extended frame is called the extended identifier SID, which is a 29-bit field used to provide a larger address space.

[0067] S3. Configure the CanTp layer to associate the CanIf module with the CanTp module and the CanTf module with the PDURC module, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0068] The CanTp layer includes a channel used only for standard frame messages and a channel used only for extended frame messages, as well as the corresponding configurations for receiving and sending service data units. The configurations for receiving and sending service data units include parameters CanTpBs, CanTpNar, CanTpNbr, CanTpNcr, CanTpSTmin, CanTpRxTaType, and CanTpRxPaddingActivation.

[0075] Diag_FOTA_response_CANNODE_0_CanTp2CanIf associated Diag_FOTA_response_CANNODE_0_PduR 2CanTp.

[0076] S4. Configure the PduR layer to associate the PduR module with the CanTp module and the PduR layer with the Dcm module, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0077] The PduR layer includes a routing table, which is provided with routing configurations for the standard frame message and the extended frame message, and the routing configurations include receiving routing and sending routing.

[0078] Specifically, add PduRRoutingPath in PduRRoutingTables: Diag_FOTA_request_CANNODE_0_CanTp2PduR, Diag_FOTA_response_CANNODE_0_Dcm2CanTp

[0079] Furthermore, Diag_FOTA_request_CANNODE_0_CanTp2PduR and Diag_FOTA_request_CANNODE_0_CanTp2PduR and

[0082] Diag_FOTA_response_CANNODE_0_Dcm2PduR and

[0083] Diag_FOTA_response_CANNODE_0_PduR2CanTp associated.

[0084] S5. Configure the EcuC layer, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0085] The EcuC layer is a virtual module that includes global protocol data units corresponding to the configuration of each layer. In the configuration of the ECU, some information needs to be shared between multiple BSWQ modules. Since it is impossible to define who owns the shared information, the virtual module EcuC is introduced.

[0086] The global protocol data units corresponding to the configuration of each layer include global protocol data units associated with extended frame messages, including global protocol data units (Pdus) from the Dcm module to the PduR module, the PduR module to the CanTp module, the CanTp module to the CanIf module, the CanIf module to the CanTp module, the CanTp module to the PduR module, and the PduR module to the Dcm module, associating the protocol data units (PDUs) of each layer. The global PDU in the EcuC module does not need to care about its data type, only the length of the protocol data unit (PDU).

[0087] Specifically, add the following configuration to the PduR sub-item:

[0088] Diag_FOTA_response_CANNODE_0_Phys_Dcm2PduR, Diag_FOTA_response_CANNODE_0_Phys_PduR2CanTp, Diag_FOTA_response_CANNODE_0_Phys_Can Tp2CanIf, Diag_FOTA_request_CANNODE_0_CanIf2CanTp, Diag_FOTA_request_CANNODE_0_CanTp2PduR, Diag_FOTA_request_CANNODE_0_PduR2Dcm.

[0090] Add two second CAN mailboxes to the original CAN mailbox to open up the connection between the underlying chip and the CAN module.

[0091] This embodiment can configure a CAN bus that can simultaneously transmit standard frame messages and extended frame messages.
