Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for driving a vehicle module according to claim 1, a device for driving a vehicle module according to claim 1 1 and a driver assistance method, in which an inventive device is used, according to claim 22.
- a vehicle module is a component of a vehicle.
- a steering wheel of a vehicle is a vehicle module.
- Electrical / electronic systems abbreviated E / E systems, are also vehicle modules.
- Vehicle modules are controlled and regulated by control units.
- Control units also called electronic control units, abbreviated ECUs, are electronic components for controlling and regulating.
- ECUs are used in several electronic areas to control and regulate vehicle functions.
- ECUs that centrally control and govern several interrelated functions are called domain ECUs.
- Vehicle areas that form a functional unit and in which related functions arise are called vehicle domains. Examples of vehicle domains are the infotainment system, the chassis, the drive, the interior or the safety.
- Functions for the infotainment system include, for example, operating a radio, a CD player, establishing a telephone connection, connecting to a hands-free unit, etc. When the music CD is playing, for example, the music is stopped when a telephone connection is made.
- a control module for a vehicle module switching off the control unit in the event of a fault is dangerous because there is at least one critical operating phase of the control unit in which its shutdown violates one or more safety goals as defined in the ISO 26262 standard.
- fault tolerance measures must therefore be provided, which allow at least one emergency operation in case of error of the control unit.
- systems, which enable an emergency operation in the event of an error are called fail operational systems.
- a fail operational system is designed in such a way that if a faulty area is accepted within the critical operating phase, the necessary residual functionality can be maintained.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for driving a vehicle module and a driver assistance method, in which such a device is used to provide improved safety over the prior art, in particular a fail operational system for such a device.
- This object is achieved by a device for driving a vehicle module having the features of claim 1 and by a device for driving a vehicle module having the features of claim 11 and by a driver assistance method having the features of claim 22.
- the device according to the invention for controlling a vehicle module has a control interface, wherein the vehicle module is controllable via the control interface, at least one first power processor, which is designed to receive and evaluate sensor signals, at least one first monitoring device, which is thus connected to the first power processor, in that the first monitoring device, in response to a state signal of the first power processor, outputs a monitoring signal to a fallback processor core, the fallback processor core being connected to the first monitoring device such that the fallback processor core, in response to the status signal, drives the vehicle module via the control interface for at least one emergency operation.
- An interface is a device between at least two functional units, at which an exchange of logical quantities, for example data, or physical see quantities, for example electrical signals, takes place, either only unidirectional or bidirectional.
- the exchange can be analog or digital.
- An interface may exist between software and software, hardware and hardware, and software and hardware, and hardware and software.
- a processor is an electronic circuit that captures and processes commands. As a result of processing instructions, the processor can control and regulate other electrical circuits, thereby promoting a process.
- a kernel is a part of a processor which forms a computing unit and which itself is capable of executing one or more instructions.
- a monitoring device also known as a watchdog, is a component of a system that monitors the functions of other components, here the power processor. If a possible malfunction is detected, this is either signaled according to a security agreement or a suitable one
- the term watchdog includes both hardware watchdogs and software watchdogs.
- the hardware watchdog is an electronic component with communication to the component being controlled.
- the software watchdog is a checking software in the component to be checked, which checks whether all important program modules are executed correctly within a given time frame or whether a module requires an unduly long time for processing.
- the software watchdog can be monitored by a hardware watchdog.
- software can be monitored with a counter that is set to a specific value by the software at regular intervals and is constantly decremented by the hardware. If the counter reaches the value zero, the software has not been able to increase the counter in time, that is, the software is in a faulty state.
- a state signal of the first power processor contains information about the hardware and / or software state of the first power processor.
- a hardware watchdog detects as a status signal whether the first power processor has reported to the hardware watchdog before the lapse of a predetermined time, similar to the deadman alarm principle. In a faultless state, the message is issued, in a faulty the message is omitted. This makes it possible to detect a faulty state of the first power processor.
- a monitoring signal of the first monitoring device contains the information as to whether the component to be monitored is in a faultless or defective state. In the above example, the monitor signal is in a healthy state in that a message has been made and in a bad state in that no message has been made. For example, the monitoring signal has the value one when the message has occurred and the value zero when the message has not occurred.
- Emergency operation is the operation of the vehicle module in a faulty state, which is initiated on the basis of the state signal.
- emergency mode only the vehicle functions are maintained that are necessary to drive the vehicle to a safe state.
- the fallback processor core controls the vehicle module only with the sensor signals necessary to drive the vehicle to a safe state. If, for example, a fault is detected while driving on the highway, only the vehicle functions are maintained and the vehicle module is driven only with the sensor signals that enable a safe placement and parking of the vehicle on a hard shoulder. So it is not a trip, but only a ride to reach a safe state possible.
- the vehicle module is activated by the fallback processor core via the control interface.
- the first power processor is deactivated by the monitoring device and at the same time the fallback processor core is activated.
- the fallback processor core is capable of driving the device at least for emergency operation. This ensures that in case of failure of the first Power processor, the vehicle module can continue to operate for emergency operation.
- the device has a first signal channel and a second signal channel redundant to the first signal channel for conducting the sensor signals into the device, wherein in the first signal channel the sensor signals to the first power processor and in the second signal channel, the sensor signals to the fallback processor can be conducted. If the first signal channel fails, this ensures that the sensor signals can be forwarded to the fallback processor core, which enables emergency operation of the device with these sensor signals.
- the device has a monitoring processor core for monitoring the sensor signals, which is connected to the fallback processor core such that sensor signals output by the monitoring processor core can be input into the fallback processor core.

- the monitor processor core monitors whether the sensor signals are in their respective scope.
- the monitor processor core also detects shorts and ground contacts in circuits.
- At least the first power processor is designed to receive and evaluate sensor signals from a plurality of sensors, wherein, in particular in the first power processor, the sensor signals of one sensor each can be picked up and evaluated independently of the sensor signals of another sensor.

- the security processor is thus a multi-core processor in which a plurality of cores are arranged on a single chip, that is, a semiconductor device. Multi-core processors achieve higher computational power and are more cost effective to implement in a chip compared to multiprocessor systems where each individual core is located in a processor socket and the individual processor sockets are arranged on a motherboard.
- the security processor is also called multicore micro control unit, abbreviated multicore MCU.
- At least one, in particular redundant, information interface is arranged between the first power processor and the security processor for forwarding the evaluated sensor signals from the first power processor to the security processor.
- Redundancy is the additional presence of functionally identical or comparable resources of a technical system, if they are normally not required for trouble-free operation.
- an information interface fails, an additional information interface is available.
- the security processor is designed to control the evaluated sensor signals for plausibility to control the vehicle module with information found to be plausible.
- Plausibility check is a method by which a value or general result is flash-checked to determine whether or not it can be plausible, ie acceptable, plausible and / or comprehensible. Plausibility checks can be executed both in hardware and in software. Naturally, plausibility checks in hardware are limited to the monitoring, for example, of signals that may only occur in certain combinations and sequences. For example, measured values can be checked for their plausible value range and their time course. In software engineering, the plausibility of a tag indicates whether it belongs to a specific data type or lies within a specified range of values or a given set of values. The plausibility check is an additional measure would take, with the more advantageous can be determined whether the evaluated by the first power processor sensor signals are plausible to each other.
