2.4 Basic Concepts<br />

OperationInvokedEvent This event is called when an operation <strong>for</strong> a server port<br />

is <strong>in</strong>voked. The event is specified with the port and with the operation <strong>for</strong> which it<br />

should occur.<br />

AsynchronousServerCallReturnsEvent If an asynchronous call is used to <strong>in</strong>voke<br />

an operation on a server, the result of the server call can be fetched at later time. This<br />

event shows, that the server is f<strong>in</strong>ished and the result is available. It is specified <strong>for</strong> a<br />

client port and an operation, which is called by the client.<br />

ModeSwitchEvent For this event a mode and an action “entry” or “exit” has to<br />

be specified. The event arises when the specified mode is entered or exited, depend<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on which action is specified.<br />

Every event can trigger a runnable, but not every event can wake up a WaitPo<strong>in</strong>t.<br />

The events, which can wake up a WaitPo<strong>in</strong>t, are DataReceivedEvents, DataSendCompletedEvents<br />

and AsynchronousServerCallReturnsEvents.<br />

Inter Runnable Variable<br />

Ports def<strong>in</strong>e the <strong>in</strong>teraction between SWCs, or more precise the <strong>in</strong>teraction between<br />

the runnables of the SWCs. For runnables of one SWC another mechanism <strong>for</strong> <strong>in</strong>ternal<br />

communication exists. These are the Inter Runnable Variables (IRVs), which can be<br />

accessed by the runnables. Runnables could also use global variables <strong>for</strong> this <strong>in</strong>ternal<br />

communication, but with IRVs protection mechanism are provided by the RTE <strong>for</strong><br />

concurrency.<br />

Exclusive Area<br />

Exclusive Area are a similar mechanism to the operat<strong>in</strong>g system resources described <strong>in</strong><br />

section 2.3.3. Exclusive areas just provide mutual exclusive access <strong>for</strong> the runnables of<br />

one SWC, but not <strong>for</strong> the whole task. Exclusive areas can be implemented with operat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

system resources, but this is no requirement. There can be other implementation<br />

possibilities specified like e.g. <strong>in</strong>terrupt–disabl<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

2.4.5 Modes<br />

Modes have the simple purpose that components can provide a different behavior<br />

depend<strong>in</strong>g on which mode is active. The mode can be distributed from a component<br />

through ports to other components. Typical modes <strong>for</strong> a motor control unit are<br />

“Start”, “Drive” and “Stop”.<br />

A mode has to be distributed through a port, because there must be the possibility<br />

to provide modes to other ECUs. RTE Events can be disabled <strong>in</strong> a mode. Then<br />

the event is prevented, if a special mode is active. This makes it possible to execute<br />

runnables just <strong>in</strong> one mode. A ModeSwitchEvent responds directly to a mode switch.<br />

It triggers a runnable if a special mode is entered or left. These runnables can be used<br />

to clean up the old mode or prepare the new mode.<br />
