Case Study: A tool for classification of system model parameters

With the technological progress of the automotive industry, electronics in the car is becoming increasingly important, and thus the number of electronic control units is increasing. A2L files contain relevant information about ECU objects such as characteristics and measurement variables. As part of this paper, the creation of an XCP (Universal Measurement and Calibration Protocol) generator in C++ is presented. It is a tool for classification of system model parameters that generate A2L files. These files are used for calibration and communication with ECUs via XCP. It was based on the existing tool in Python and realized in 3 steps: first, the database and the parser model are created, then the serialized model (model.zip) is replaced with the mentioned database, and finally, the XCP generator is written in the C++ programming language. After creating a new solution, A2L files are generated and successfully launched on the MotionWise board which uses Tricore TC297 B-Step and Renesas Electronics R-Car H3 microcontrollers.
