4th IEEE International Symposium on Electronic Design, Test and Applications (delta 2008)
Automated Testing of FlexRay Clusters for System Inconsistencies in Automotive Networks
January 23-January 25
ISBN: 978-0-7695-3110-6
Most innovations in the automotive domain are nowadays enabled by networked embedded systems. In this context a new communication subsystem termed FlexRay was recently introduced. Relying on the time-triggered paradigm it promises to provide the bandwidth and reliability required for future applications. For building reliable systems with FlexRay, verification and testing are of utmost importance. In this paper a new system test approach that focuses on the communication subsystem is presented. With the help of a dedicated FPGA-based star-coupler we show that inconsistent system states (Slightly-Off-Specification failures) can occur in real life systems, how they can be found using our solution and how one can avoid them.
Index Terms:
FlexRay, slightly-off-specification, inconsistency, system testing
