Non-intrusive integration of advanced diagnosis features in automotive E/E-architectures

With ever more complex automotive systems, the current approach of using functional tests to locate faulty components results in very long analysis procedures and poor diagnostic accuracy. Built-In Self-Test (BIST) offers a promising alternative to collect structural diagnostic information during E/E-architecture test. However, as the automotive industry is quite cost-driven, structural diagnosis shall not deteriorate traditional design objectives. With this goal in mind, the work at hand proposes a design space exploration to integrate structural diagnostic capabilities into an E/E-architecture design. The proposed integration is performed non-intrusively, i. e., the addition and execution of tests (a) does not affect any functional applications and (b) does not require any costly changes in the communication schedules.
