Definitions
- the present invention claims the priority of French application 2010747 filed on 20.10.2020, the content of which (text, drawings and claims) is incorporated herein by reference.
- the present invention belongs to the field of on-board electronics in a land motor vehicle. In particular, it concerns the management of the supervision of an electronic component of the vehicle in the case of a temporary scheduled shutdown of the component.
- Motor land vehicle means any type of vehicle such as a motor vehicle, a moped, a motorcycle, a storage robot in a warehouse, etc.
- the electronic architectures of vehicles have a supervision device, which is connected to various internal networks in the vehicle (Ethernet, CAN for Controller Area Network or area control network in French, also described below with reference to Figure 1 ).
- the monitoring device can monitor all components of the vehicle and generate a fault code if a component does not communicate in the agreed manner with the monitoring device.
- network supervision is a mechanism that allows the supervision device to supervise the presence of another component by verifying the continuous reception of a periodic (or mixed) frame sent by the supervised component.
- the supervision device signals a fault.
- Such supervision is necessary for the proper functioning of components (brakes, powertrain, lights, etc.) sometimes responsible for the safety of vehicle occupants.
- the dependability requirements relating to such components and supervision device are very high, and sometimes lead for example to the redundancy of some of these components/supervision device.
- the components include shutdown phases (typically when flashing the firmware). During these scheduled shutdown phases, the component can no longer be effectively supervised (it no longer sends its periodic frames for example). The supervision device then erroneously detects a fault.
- the present invention improves the situation.
- a first aspect of the invention relates to a method for managing a programmed temporary shutdown of an electronic component supervised by a supervision device, the component and the device being included in a motorized land vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- the transmission of the anticipation message is done dynamically and on the initiative of the component concerned, without this affecting the supervision of the other components. It then becomes possible to envisage the programmed shutdown of the component in the most transparent way possible (except of course if this component is involved in the operation of the vehicle at the time when the shutdown is programmed) and in any case without requiring the shutdown or operation in degraded mode of other components not affected by the scheduled shutdown.
- the method complies with safety requirements while maintaining low costs, which are very specific to motorized land vehicles. Indeed, for sensitive components, the sending of the anticipation message can be redundant and the method does not involve sizing additional memories for its execution (only the duration information is temporarily kept by the supervision device) .
- the anticipation message further comprises at least one of the elements from:
- the method further comprises the steps of:
- monitoring by the monitoring device includes periodically receiving verification messages from the component, configured to inform the monitoring device of the normal operation of the component.
- a secondary component is further included on the vehicle, the secondary component monitoring the operation of the supervised component, the method further comprises the step of: upon receipt by the supervision device of the anticipation message, transmission from the supervision device to the secondary component of a secondary information message comprising the component shutdown duration information.
- the method further comprises the step:
- the links between components are therefore taken into account and the method can thus be implemented in a complex environment of components monitoring each other.
- a connectivity box undergoing a scheduled shutdown is monitored by other components, which are for example supplied with data by the connectivity box. Without details on the scheduled shutdown, these components may unjustifiably return to a degraded operating mode for a long period. In addition, these other components may generate inconsistencies in their monitoring and therefore lead to incorrect replacement by the after-sales service.
- a second aspect of the invention relates to a computer program comprising instructions for implementing the method according to the first aspect of the invention, when these instructions are executed by a processor.
- a third aspect of the invention relates to a system configured to manage a programmed temporary shutdown of an electronic component supervised by a supervision device, the system comprising the supervision device and the supervised electronic component, the system being configured to be understood on a motor land vehicle,
- the supervised component comprising at least one processor and at least one memory arranged to perform the operations of: o identification of a programmed temporary shutdown; o generation of a shutdown anticipation message comprising information on the duration of shutdown of the component during the scheduled temporary shutdown; o transmission of the anticipation message to the supervision device; - the supervision device comprising at least one processor and at least one memory arranged to carry out the operation of: o stopping the supervision of the component by the supervision device during the stoppage time as indicated by the information of duration of stoppage of the anticipation message.
- a fourth aspect of the invention relates to a vehicle configured to include the system according to the third aspect of the invention.
- FIG 1 is a diagram illustrating the steps of a method according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG 2 illustrates the structure of a device according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the invention is described below in its non-limiting application to the case of a motor vehicle comprising an electronic component, a supervision device and a secondary component.
- a motor vehicle comprising an electronic component, a supervision device and a secondary component.
- Such an application is purely illustrative and reduced to a few components for the sake of clarity but, in practice, the invention is used by several tens or hundreds of components, computers in particular, present in the vehicle.
- the invention can be implemented on any type of motorized land vehicle such as a motorcycle, a coach or even a robot in a factory.
- Figure 1 illustrates a method, according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the method concerns the management of a programmed temporary shutdown of an electronic component supervised by a supervision device.
- the electronic component corresponds to any type of component present in the vehicle and connected by an internal network to the supervision device.
- the internal vehicle network corresponds to any communication network configured for an exchange of data between at least two electronic components of the vehicle.
- Examples of wired internal networks are CAN networks, for Controller Area Network and zone control network in French, Ethernet, Flexray or even LIN networks for Local Interconnect Network, or Local Interconnected Network in French.
- Examples of internal radio frequency networks are LoRa, bluetooth or wifi networks.
- the electronic component corresponds to any component configured to process any data relating to the operation of the vehicle.
- An example of a component is a computer, also called ECU for Electronic Control Unit and electronic control unit in French.
- the computer can be responsible for various functions in the vehicle, such as the management of driving assistance, the operation of the windscreen wipers or even the distribution of music in the passenger compartment.
- Another example of a component is the connectivity box, also called TCU for Telematic Control Unit and telematic control unit in French.
- the VSM supervision device corresponds to any device configured to check the correct operation of at least one electronic component.
- supervision by the supervision device comprises periodic reception of verification messages from the component, configured to inform the supervision device of the normal operation of the component.
- supervision is a mechanism that allows the supervision device to supervise the presence of another component by verifying the continuous reception of a periodic (or mixed) frame sent by the supervised component. When the frame is not received, an error is generated and reported to the entities (after-sales, etc.) in charge of fault monitoring.
- the supervision device can be included (in particular as a simple software module) within an electronic component, such as for example the BSI, for an intelligent service box.
- the ECU component identifies a programmed temporary stop Dstop.
- the programmed temporary stop corresponds for example to an ECU restart within the framework of an update of its firmware, or firmware.
- Other types of programmed temporary shutdowns such as linked to a simple software update or to a version upgrade of one of the networks to which ECU is connected are possible.
- the component identifies itself the programmed temporary stop but this can be done in a slavish way, for example because a component in charge of ECU operation has detected the stop.
- the shutdown may concern the entire operation of the component or only part of the operation of the component. Typically, flashing the component requires restarting it and therefore completely shutting it down, but other shutdowns only concern certain functions or parts of the component. For example, for certain software updates, the component is not stopped but the update causes a stop in the sending of periodic frames to the supervision device. Normal functionality is suspended to update certain functions, but the component is not necessarily completely stopped.
- a step 4 a step of generation by the component of a stoppage anticipation message MS comprising information on the duration of the stoppage of the component during the programmed temporary stoppage is implemented.
- the anticipation message further comprises at least one of the elements from:
- the component identifier corresponds for example to its address in an internal network.
- the information configured to explain the reason for the temporary stop is for example: firmware update, Flexray network upgrade, etc.
- the duration of the component stoppage during the programmed temporary stoppage corresponds to the duration during which the component will not be able to be supervised by the supervision device. This duration can thus take into account the time required to restart the software of the ECU in charge of transmitting the periodic supervision frames for example.
- the anticipation message is transmitted at a step 8 from the component to the supervision device, which receives it at a step 10.
- the anticipation message can be a dedicated message or can be integrated into another message, for example in the post of verification (periodic supervision frame).
- the anticipation message can be transmitted redundantly (for example 3 times in 10 milliseconds).
- the supervision of the component is stopped by the supervision device for the stop duration Dstop as indicated by the stop duration information of the anticipation message MS.
- the supervision device VSM resumes its supervision of the component ECU.
- Dstop VSM does not receive a verification message (periodic supervision frame), it detects an error.
- the method further comprises the steps of:
- the resume information message may include the resume information, ECU component ID, and configured information to explain the reason for the resume;
- step 20 upon receipt of the restart message by the supervision device, the supervision of the component is resumed by the supervision device.
- the restart information message is transmitted in all cases (before or after the expiry of Dstop).
- a secondary component ECU2 is further included on the vehicle.
- the secondary component monitors the operation of the ECU component.
- this may be the case of an ECU2 component (autonomous driving computer for example) which cannot function without permanently exchanging with ECU (TCU connectivity box for example).
- ECU connectivity box for example.
- it may be necessary to have a permanent functional link with the connectivity box to have up-to-date environmental data available.
- step 10 The method then further comprises in step 10:
- the message can be transmitted by VSM in broadcast, i.e. to any component connected to VSM in the internal network concerned. It can also be transmitted only to the components concerned (a table of links between components is then present in VSM).
- ECU transmits information directly to ECU2.
- a stoppage of the monitoring of the supervised component ECU by the secondary component ECU2 for the stoppage duration Dstop as indicated by the stoppage duration information of the message anticipation is implemented at a step 16.
- the early restart is also taken into account by ECU2 by message transfer from VSM.
- FIG. 2 represents an example of a device D included in a system configured to manage a programmed temporary shutdown of an electronic component supervised by a supervision device, the system implementing the method described above with reference to FIG. 1 and comprising the supervision device VSM, the supervised electronic component ECU and, in one embodiment, the component ECU2.
- This device D can take the form of a box comprising printed circuits, of any type of computer or even of a smartphone.
- the device D comprises a random access memory 100 for storing instructions for the implementation by a processor 200 of at least one step of the methods as described above.
- the device also comprises a mass memory 300 for storing data intended to be kept after the implementation of the method.
- the device D may also include a digital signal processor (DSP) 400.
- This DSP 400 receives data to shape, demodulate and amplify, in a manner known per se, this data.
- the device also comprises an input interface 500 for receiving data implemented by methods according to the invention and an output interface 600 for transmitting data implemented by the method.
- an embodiment corresponding to an exemplary electronic architecture for a motor vehicle has been described.
- the present invention is also applicable to other electronic architectures (different number of computers, etc.).
