  • Publication number: 20240126887
    Abstract: In a method and a system for controlling a secure boot of a vehicle controller, when a first vehicle controller performs a normal boot as an error occurs in a parity bit of a firmware image, in the process of performing the secure boot by vehicle controllers related to autonomous driving, the first vehicle controller recovers firmware by internetworking with a second vehicle controller that is successful in the secure boot to perform the secure boot thereafter. The method includes performing, by a first vehicle controller, a normal boot, when the error occurs in the parity bit of the firmware image related to the secure boot, and recovering, by the first vehicle controller, the firmware image by internetworking with the second vehicle controller that is successful in the secure boot.

  • Patent number: 11878705
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for generating a test case (TC) for dynamic verification of an autonomous driving system are provided. The method includes receiving an input signal and generating a temporary TC based on the input signal. A confirmed TC is determined based on a first output signal corresponding to the input signal and a second output signal corresponding to the temporary TC. A final TC is determined by re-arranging the confirmed TC and the final TC is transmitted to an external device.

  • Publication number: 20240007480
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of verifying the integrity of an app mounted on an autonomous driving-related vehicle controller. The method includes: providing each of autonomous driving-related vehicle controllers with a hash table in which hash values for logic of the autonomous driving-related vehicle controllers are recorded; transmitting, by a first vehicle controller, an old hash value and a new hash value to a second vehicle controller when a hash value for logic of the first vehicle controller is changed; and changing, by the second vehicle controller, the old hash value to the new hash value in a hash table provided in the second vehicle controller.

  • Patent number: 5915051
    Abstract: A wavelength-selective optical switch having a first input port for accepting a plurality of copropagating optical channels, each of the channels having a distinct wavelength band. The optical switch includes first and second output ports. A wavelength-selective optical filter is connected to receive the copropagating optical channels from the first input port to extract a selected one of the channels while allowing the remaining channels to copropagate to the first output port. An interferometric switch is connected to receive the selected extracted channel; the interferometric switch includes a controller for controlling propagation of the selected extracted channel to either the second output port, the optical filter, or both. The optical filter is connected to receive from the interferometric switch an optical channel to be combined with the remaining copropagating channels and all directed to the first output port.
