dsPIC30F

12.10 OSEK Operating Systems

The dsPIC30F product family supports Operating

Systems for the OSEK/VDX vehicle software standard.

The functionality of OSEK “Offene Systeme und deren

Schnittstellen für die Elektronik im Kraftfahrzeug” (open

systems and the corresponding interfaces for

automotive electronics) is harmonized with VDX

“Vehicle Distributed eXecutive” yielding OSEK/VDX.

Structured and modular RTOS software

implementations are provided based on standardized

interfaces and protocols. Structured and modular

implementations provide for portability and

extendability for distributed control units for vehicles.

Microchip also provides Internal and External CAN

driver support. The physical layer is integrated into the

communication controller’s hardware and is not

covered by the OSEK specifications.

Vector Informatik GmbH has created a dsPIC30F

architecture version of their osCAN

operating system,

along with various support utilities.
