We are an approved Bootloader supplier for Volvo cars and many other OEMs since AGNOSAR® Bootloader is a modular software and its flexibility in configuration to support CAN(CAN-FD) or Ethernet communication bus helps the end-user to change the configuration according to the use-cases.
Highlights of AGNOSAR® Bootloader:
-
Preconfigured Software
-
Lesser integration effort
-
Better Download performance
-
Reduced (re)flashing time at EOL/Service stations.
This software can be preconfigured to support two types of Bootloader architectural requirements,
-
PBL/SBL
-
FBL/FLD
-
Primary Boot Loader (Type 1)
PBL is fixed in the ECU and executed at every power-on cycle even before the application is started. PBL is responsible to have the SBL downloaded onto the RAM.
-
Secondary Boot Loader (Type 1)
SBL includes a flash drive and downloads the application executables, parts and configuration files onto the ECU’s flash memory.
-
FBL (Type 2) – The Flash Bootloader (FBL) is permanently placed in a protected boot sector and will execute directly after reset and implements the communication stack, UDS, and core engine for flash programming.
-
FLD (Type 2) – The Flash driver (FLD) will be downloaded by the tester tool much before downloading the application executable software parts. Optionally, it can be copied from the encrypted ROM before executing flashing-related operations as well.
