Abstract:
A vehicle safety electronic control system ( 8 ) including a first microcontroller ( 11 ), a second microcontroller ( 12 ), and an inter-processor communication path ( 13 ) for bi-directional transfer of data between the microcontrollers ( 11,12 ). The system has a first mode of inter-processor communication in which the first microcontroller ( 11 ) acts as a master and the second microcontroller ( 12 ) acts as a slave, and a second mode of inter-processor communication in which the second microcontroller ( 12 ) acts as a master and the first microcontroller ( 11 ) acts as a slave. A mode selector ( 18 - 20 ) is provided to select and switch between the first and second modes.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle safety electronic control system comprising: a first microcontroller; a second microcontroller; and an inter-processor communication path for the transfer of data between the first and second microcontrollers, the system configured for having, a first simplex mode of inter-processor communication in which the first microcontroller acts as a master and the second microcontroller acts as a slave for the transfer of data from the first microcontroller to the second microcontroller;, and a second simplex mode of inter-processor communication in which the second microcontroller acts as the master and the first microcontroller acts as the slave for the transfer of data from the second microcontroller to the first microcontroller; and a mode selector configured to select and switch between the first and second modes, the mode selector includes at least two general-purpose input/output connections between the first and second microcontrollers, the general purpose input/output connections being separate from the inter-processor communication path and being configured to handshake the selection of a the inter-processor communication mode and to synchronise the commencement of data transmission along the inter-processor communication path between the first and second microcontrollers.
