Concepts

Supported ConceptDescription
TopologyComposition of the hardware devices and their interconnections
Electronic Control UnitAn Electronic Control Unit(ECU) is an embedded system in vehicles responsible for managing specific applicative functions.
Hardware Port Port typed by hardware interface
Hardware InterfaceTyped with protocols CAN family, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet, and wired link. It can be used to ensure consistency of the hardware interfaces
High Performance ComputerHierarchical definition of a High Performance Computer with its internal components.
HypervisorPart of the internal High Performance Computer definition

ContainerA container defines an isolated virtual execution environment for applications
MicroControllerHardware part of HPC
MicroProcessorHardware part of HPC
CoreHardware part of HPC
Sensor

Sensor is a device that detects physical properties or environmental conditions—such as temperature, pressure, motion, or light—and converts them into measurable electrical signals.

Actuator

An Actuator is a device that converts control signals (typically electrical) into physical movement, force, or other actions.

Electrical DeviceIt can be a battery, fuse, relay
DeviceOpenness for any device
Communication BusTyped with protocols CAN family, LIN, FlexRay, MOST 
Wired LinkWire connection between hardware ports
