LIN NETWORK MULTI-CHANNEL BOOTLOADER APPARATUS AND LOADING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: An LIN network multi-channel booster loader device and a driving method thereof are provided to reduce maintenance costs by simultaneously reprogramming a plurality of units. CONSTITUTION: A CAN(Controller Area Network) controller(110) transmits SW(SoftWare) ROM(Read Only Memory) data through a CAN communication bus connected to an OBD(On Board Diagnostics) terminal(120). An LIN master unit(130) transmits the SW ROM data transmitted from the CAN controller through a CAN bus through an LIN network. A gateway transmits the SW ROM data to each slave unit through low speed LIN communication. One or more slave units(140) form the LIN network connected through an LIN bus. One or more slave units reprograms SW based on the SW ROM data transmitted from the LIN master unit.
