AIDA EAF Component

The EAF component implements a simple transport protocol without any handshake mainly used for flashing the ECU. For further details refer to the SiemensVDO document "EOL And Field Bootlader - Protocol Description".

Parameters

TSmin

Specifies the minimum allowed time between two consecutive EAF frames in [ms]. This value is only used for transmission.

TEmax

Specifies the maximum allowed time between two consecutive EAF frames in [ms]. This value is used for reception and transmission. The idle time TSidle is calculated according to the SiemensVDO document depending on the TEmax value so that there is no separate parameter for this time.

TxBaseID, RxBaseID

IDs for transmission and reception are used in pairs, so overall a set of four IDs is used for communication. The EAF component assumes that an ID pair uses consecutive IDs and enforces the lower of both IDs to be even.
