METHOD FOR LOADING SOFTWARE

WIPO Patent Application WO2002010903

A3

The invention relates to a method for loading software into a target device of a vehicle control system comprising a number of devices. The inventive method involves the following steps: subdividing the loading of a software module into partial tasks, namely into at least one control device task, one update device task and one receiving device task, and assigning an execution of the partial tasks to the target device, the devices and/or to a control station located outside of the vehicle control system. The control device task involves a processing and routing of control commands for loading the software module from outside of the vehicle control system. The update device task involves a control of the loading of the software module between the target device, the devices and/or the control station, and the receiving device task involves a provision of an interface for the software module to be loaded from outside the vehicle control system. The invention additionally relates to the use of this method, for example, in control systems of motor vehicles.
