HEX File Management 2016
Participants: Fuji Heavy Industries, Hino Motors, Honda R&D, Nissan Motor, Toyota Motor
Use Case Workshops (Ideation Phase)
Purpose of the workshops:
Today, the interdependency between vehicle electrical components is soaring due to many sensors, controllers and complex algorithms. Synchronized Measurement is mandatory in the intricate powertrain system for requiring correct decision making and coordinated task execution. Each controller on the vehicle bus contains software, Metadata and data stored in HEX Code. Correct versioning of these HEX files is required in order to obtain correct Measurement results. Hence, management of HEX file and related information is needed.
The ideation phase (use case workshops) defined the business and technical use cases of HEX file management from an OEM perspective. It focused on looking for common areas requiring standardization. Once a proposal will be developed, the tool suppliers will be invited to the meeting in order to align the use cases with actual work packages.
The following workshops were conducted:
