Middleware Diagnostics in Automotive Vehicles for Different Architectures

Report by Sneha Sudhir Shetiya

Middleware diagnostics form an essential part of designing any truck, car, or another mobile vehicle, which in today's world comprises hardware with software functionality.

Middleware in any vehicle consists of the software or the OS (Operating System) which forms the base Hypervisor and connects with other Electronic Control Units (ECUs) together with the subsequent applications layers and drivers. Communication protocols of Controller Area Network and Ethernet (sometimes LIN Linear Interconnection Network) are used.

This report highlights the overview level as to how this middleware functionality was achieved in classic architecture ECUs which had mostly powertrain functionality and has evolved today for Connected and Autonomous vehicles which have no less than 50 or so ECUs along with the complexities of sensor data and complex wiring.
