What is an Automotive Gateway?
1 Answers
Automotive Gateway Controller is a core component in the vehicle's electronic and electrical architecture. Serving as the data interaction hub for the entire vehicle network, it can route network data such as CAN, LIN, MOST, and FlexRay across different networks. Specific details are as follows: 1. Function: The network nodes inside a car are like stations. When sending information from one network to another, the transfer station required is the "gateway". Different types of networks transmit data, and data interaction occurs through the gateway. Independent gateways and new intelligent gateways play a crucial role in this era of automotive transformation with their high-speed, multi-channel, and secure high-end performance. 2. Tasks: The automotive gateway handles protocol conversion between different bus types and participates in the network management of each segment; it routes signals and controls message routing timing based on actual needs. The gateway is also the onboard node directly connected to the OBD interface, responsible for forwarding and controlling diagnostic messages for the entire vehicle, while also defending against potential risks to the in-vehicle network from external sources.
