  • Vehicle safety electronic control system
    Patent number: 10776295
    Abstract: A vehicle safety electronic control system (11) including master and slave microcontrollers (12, 13). The master microcontroller (12) is connected to a TDMA network bus, and the slave microcontroller (13) is connected to the master microcontroller (12) via a general purpose input/connection (14). Both microcontrollers (12, 13) are configured to operate schedule table based execution, and each has a respective synchronization counter. The master microcontroller (12) is configured to update its synchronization counter in response to a primary synchronization signal (19) from the network bus (10), and to issue a corresponding secondary synchronisation signal (20) to the slave microcontroller (13) via the general purpose input/output connection (14).

  • Vehicle safety electronic control system
    Patent number: 10417153
    Abstract: A vehicle safety electronic control system (8) including a first microcontroller (11), a second microcontroller (12), and an inter-processor communication path (13) for bi-directional transfer of data between the microcontrollers (11,12). The system has a first mode of inter-processor communication in which the first microcontroller (11) acts as a master and the second microcontroller (12) acts as a slave, and a second mode of inter-processor communication in which the second microcontroller (12) acts as a master and the first microcontroller (11) acts as a slave. A mode selector (18-20) is provided to select and switch between the first and second modes.
