Abstract


The scientific paper presents the possibilities of improving the quality of the rapid prototyping processes of the electronic control units using a dedicated software platform. Embedded systems (ECU – Electronic Control Unit) products are analyzed, based on an original communication protocol through which the state of the system can be diagnosed in real time in different phases of development.
This software platform called BIOComProP (Basic Input Output Communication Protocol Platform) is used especially in the ECU prototype phase for the individual testing of each hardware component connected to the inputs and outputs of the microcontroller which is the command-and-control element of the ECU. The BIOComProP platform is intended to be portable and extensible on any microcontroller family from different suppliers of electronic components and brings added value to reduce the development and implementation time of new projects based on this platform. The platform consists of two parts: BIOComProP_ECU - the software that runs in the ECU and BIOComProP_TS - the software that runs on the computer where ECU diagnostics and testing are performed. The authors also present a dedicated research methodology as well as the research results and not least the conclusions obtained.
