Method for conformance testing of a cell representative of a circuit for managing a communication protocol, and system to apply the method.

摘要

Method comprises: - a first step (I) for duplicating the cell (CM) with a view to generating several duplicated cells (C1, C2,...,CN) identical to the said cell (CM), - a second step (II) for connecting the said duplicated cells (C1, C2, ... CN) to a network bus (B), - a third step (III) for configuring each duplicated cell (C1, C2, ... CN) according to definitions contained in the said standard, - a fourth step (IV) for applying to the network bus signals representing frames conforming to the said standard and abnormal or spurious signals, and for gathering back for analysis the respective responses of each of the said configured cells. Use for testing circuits for managing communication protocols, especially for cars and high-tech homes. See Figure 2. <IMAGE>
