vFlash
Easy-to-use tool for programming ECUs via diagnostics (e.g. UDS) and can be incorporated to all projects thanks to the vFlash plug-in concept. vFlash already supports more than 200 different flash specifications from over 100 vehicle manufacturers and can be easily extended.
vFlash Advantage
- Flashing via all networks relevant for diagnostics: CAN, CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet
- Support for several Flash specifications from various OEMs
- Easy exchange of preconfigured Flash projects in one package
- Quick and easy creation of flash projects for different bootloaders, based on the vFlash Template
- Support of various data formats
- Interactive control via GUI or automated control via API
- Remote software update/flashing from a distance
vFlash Application Area
vFlash is designed for all users at automotive OEMs and suppliers whose tasks include (re-)programming of ECUs. vFlash allows users to flash ECUs in the laboratory, at programming stations, at a laboratory vehicle or in the vehicle very efficiently. vFlash can be controlled via a graphical user interface or it can be simply integrated as a library in an existing environment.
vFlash Functions
- Interactive flashing via the user interface and automated flashing via a programming interface (C API and C# API), for process integration and integration into an existing software environment
- Flexible referencing of flashware in the development phase for quick testing of made code changes or simple exchange of preconfigured flash projects in a single package
- Direct “native” programming of data in Intel-Hex, Motorola-S and binary format or alternatively programming based on container formats like ODX-F and manufacturer-specific formats
vFlash More functions
- Remote flashing of ECUs from any location with vFlash Remote - can also be used outside of a company network
- Flexible extension of OEM flash sequences by so-called “Custom Actions”, which are executed before and/or after flashing
- Encoding or data backup with data recovery using custom actions
- Documentation and quality assurance of flash actions in flash reports using Custom Actions or the built-in short report
- Flashing of compressed and encrypted data
- Validation of the flash bootloader in the ECU in combination with CANoe.DiVa (via CAN, FlexRay, DoIP, LIN)
- The “vFlash Station” variant enables simultaneous flashing of several ECUs, each via a separate channel
- Tracing of the CAN communication for later analysis in case of an error
- Authentication based on the cross-tool applicable Security Manager sources from OEMs and suppliers
- Protection of DoIP communication by means of TLS (ISO13400-3)
