Abstract

A method for manipulating the bus communication of an electronic control device is provided, wherein the bus communication includes a bus hardware-independent first communication layer and a bus hardware-dependent second communication layer. The first communication layer encodes at least one piece of information in a first protocol data unit and transmits it to the second communication layer and/or the first communication layer receives the first protocol data unit from the second communication layer and decodes the first information from the first protocol data unit. The second communication layer generates bus hardware-dependent bus information from the first protocol data unit or from an additional protocol data unit derived from the first protocol data unit for transmission via the bus and/or the second communication layer generates the first protocol data unit or an additional protocol data unit, from which the first protocol data unit can be derived.

Claims (8)

1. A method for manipulating a bus communication of a control device, the bus communication comprising at least one bus hardware-independent first communication layer and at least one bus hardware-dependent second communication layer, the method comprising:

encoding, via the first communication layer, at least one piece of information in a first protocol data unit and transmitting the protocol data unit to the second communication layer and/or the first communication layer receives the first protocol data unit from the second communication layer and decodes the first information from the first protocol data unit;

generating, via the second communication layer, bus hardware-dependent bus information from the first protocol data unit or from an additional protocol data unit derived from the first protocol data unit for transmission via the bus and/or the second communication layer generates the first protocol data unit or an additional protocol data unit from which the first protocol data unit is derived, at least from a bus hardware-dependent bus information; and

manipulating, via at least one send manipulation layer realized between the first communication layer and the second communication layer, the first protocol data unit and/or at least one additional protocol data unit derived from the first protocol data unit;

wherein the first communication layer is realized in software,

the method further comprising:

providing the manipulated first protocol data unit and/or the manipulated additional protocol data unit to the second communication layer for further processing; and

manipulating, via at least one receive manipulation layer realized between the first communication layer and the second communication layer, the additional protocol data unit and/or the first protocol data unit derived from the additional protocol data unit and providing the manipulated additional protocol data unit and/or the manipulated first protocol data unit to the second communication layer for further processing.
