  • Patent number: 11709717
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for designing an application task architecture for an electronic control unit based on an AUTOSAR operating system that is adaptable to a plurality of microcontrollers. Prior to association with a microcontroller, the method involves developing the application task architecture by using at least one virtual core different from the one or more cores of the microcontroller, the various tasks being assigned respectively to the at least one virtual core, and associating the at least one virtual core with the one or more cores of the microcontroller so as to allocate tasks assigned to the at least one virtual core to the core or among the cores of the microcontroller.

  • Patent number: 9223697
    Abstract: A method (50) for reprogramming a computer (10) by modification of the content of a non-volatile rewritable memory (104) of the computer via reprogramming software stored in the non-volatile rewritable memory (104). The reprogramming software includes a task sequencer and a plurality of software components, divided in advance into at least two sets, namely: a first set including each software component to be executed simultaneously with an operation of modifying the content of the non-volatile rewritable memory (104), and a second set including some or all of the other software components of the reprogramming software. During the reprogramming of the computer, the software components of the second set are executed from the non-volatile rewritable memory (104), and the task sequencer and the software components of the first set to be executed are copied in advance into a volatile memory (106) of the computer, and are executed from the volatile memory.

  • Publication number: 20150268974
    Abstract: A method controls separated running of linked program blocks which are configured for implementing functions of safety-relevant systems. A first program block is executed on a processor, the first program block being present in a first portion of a memory. A second program block is called during the execution of the first program block. The second program block is present in a second portion of the memory, which is different from the first portion. Access to the memory is monitored by a memory protection device, which initiates an exception if it is determined that the second program block is called during the execution of the first program block. An exception handler locks the first portion upon occurrence of the exception and releases the second portion for execution. The access to data is controlled by the memory protection device by use of exceptions and of the locks and releases resulting therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20150058505
    Abstract: A method of operating a buffer memory of a data processing system on which two or more programs can run in parallel includes the following: a source code is generated for a program to be executed and the needed data of the program to be executed are stored in the buffer memory; at least one address register is simultaneously generated, with the memory content of the address register being addresses of each of the two or more programs in the buffer memory. The two or more programs in the buffer memory are accessed via the at least one address register.

  • Patent number: 8733777
    Abstract: A corrugation bellows for a transfer between two articulated vehicles has a plurality of corrugations which are generally U-shaped in cross-section. Two adjacent corrugations are connected together by a frame. The corrugations may have a web interconnecting two limbs, with the web being substantially planar in a substantially neutral state of the bellows. The limbs extend at right angles to the web in a substantially neutral state of the bellows.
