Automation of UDS-based flashing for software testing purposes in CANoe

Abstract: This Master’s thesis investigates the possibility of adding full vendor-specific software loading sequence support to CANoe, in order to provide the possibility of testing the compliance of Electrical Control Units (ECU:s) from several different vendors to the international standard Unified Diagnostic Services ISO14229-1. Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) specifies how diagnostic communication should be handled between a diagnostic tester and an on-vehicle ECU. This project was able to develop a framework for UDS-based software loading tests which could be run across several different ECU:s from BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems customers. This was achieved by focusing on creating a common format, downloading sequence and creating test cases which could be run across all projects based on the generic requirements identified in UDS.
