Networking Multimedia Devices in the Vehicle
Shorter and shorter cycles in vehicle development and the
increasing range of infotainment devices require the early detection of weaknesses in the implementations of the MOST* ring.
The interaction and testability of all multimedia components
(telephone, CD changer, navigation system, TV tuner, head unit
etc.) integrated in the MOST ring must be ensured for smooth
collaboration. ECU manufacturers and OEMs thus have to rely
more and more on the early testing of their MOST applications
using simulations and reference implementations.
Areas of Implementation and Applications
With EDICnet MOST, Softing provides a universal device for
ECU simulation and verification which is particularly useful
for the following applications:
Prototyping (e.g. ECU simulation,
reference implementations)
Concept evaluation (NIC, INIC25, INIC50, INIC150)
Test system
Diagnostic router
Advantages
It is incredibly easy to create your own applications thanks
to detailed documentation and a large number of reference
implementations:
Simple porting thanks to standardized API functions
of the NetServices
Parallel access to several bus systems (MOST, 2 x CAN,
K-line) and availability of additional signals (analog-in and
digital I/Os) on one hardware
Can be used universally as it can be operated as a stand-
alone device and can also be connected to a PC (WLAN,
LAN, RS-232)
PC card interfaces for memory extension

Automotive Electronics GmbH
Overview of Services
EDICnet MOST®: The MOST Evaluation Platform
Basic Software Package
On the embedded PC, proprietary applications are created on
a workspace under Microsoft
®
eMbedded Visual Tools. The
workspace contains the corresponding Software Development
Kit (SDK) and application interfaces (API) for various tasks
including the execution of Rhapsody
®
models. The application
interfaces can also be used on the PC thanks to the use of
Windows CE.
On the EDIC board, proprietary applications are created on a
workspace under Microsoft
®
Visual Studio V6 and the Altium
Tasking Compiler V8.5. The workspace contains a framework
which in turn contains the device drivers for the vehicle interfaces, including the MOST NetServices from SMSC, used, for
example, to embed the software packages of the optional
applications.
Optional Applications
The following are available as prefabricated applications:
Diagnostic router for use as an interface for diagnostic
communication and flash programming via MOST and CAN.
Test system for using the MOST message services and
addressing the MOST supervisor, embedded individual,
sequence and performance tests. (Event) monitoring,
reporting and time measurements are used as the basis
for analyses. CAN, digital I/O and A/D converters are
incorporated in the test sequence. Control via the remote
control interface either via RS-232 or Ethernet.
Services
Softing provides a consulting service as well as an extensive
range of services for implementing applications on the MOST
evaluation platform. Softing compiles, adapts or develops
entire customized ECU simulations from the existing pool of
reference implementations. Softing provides tailor-made
solutions as a complete system for diagnostic and test applications with specific sequence logic.
