This document describes the functionality, API and configuration of the AUTOSAR BSW
module IPDUM as specified in [1].
Supported AUTOSAR Release*:

Supported Configuration Variants:
PRE-COMPILE [SELECTABLE]
POST-BUILD-LOADABLE [SELECTABLE]
Vendor ID:
IPDUM_VENDOR_ID

according to HIS)
Module ID:

52 decimal
(according to ref. [2])
* For the precise AUTOSAR Release 4.x please see the release specific documentation.
Multiplexing is a concept generally used to save CAN identifiers where an I-PDU with a
CAN ID is used to carry different I-PDUs thereby saving the CAN IDs for the I-PDUs it
carries. The IpduM can be used also with Flexray and LIN.
I-PDU multiplexing means using the same PCI of a PDU with more than one unique
layouts of its SDU. The SDU in a multiplexed I-PDU contains a selector field which is used
to determine the layout of the SDU being multiplexed or de-multiplexed.
The AUTOSAR IpduM multiplexes a dynamic part along with or without a static part.
Each dynamic and static part is an independent signal-I-PDU in AUTOSAR BSW module

3 Functional Description
3.1
Features
The features listed in the following tables cover the complete functionality specified for the
IPDUM.
The AUTOSAR standard functionality is specified in [1], the corresponding features are
listed in the tables
> Table 3-1 Supported AUTOSAR standard conform features
> Table 3-2 Not supported AUTOSAR standard conform features
> Table 3-3 Features provided beyond the AUTOSAR standard
For further information of not supported features see also chapter 6.
The following features specified in [1] are supported:
Supported Feature
Configuration
> Multiplexing of the static and dynamic parts.
> Event base transmission triggering of the multiplexed I-PDU(s).
> Forwarding confirmations of all transmitted multiplexed I-PDUs to the BSW module
AUTOSAR Com.
> Timeout handling of transmission confirmations.
> De-multiplexing and indicating receptions of the de-multiplexed dynamic parts and
static part to the BSW module AUTOSAR Com.
> Static part configuration support in multiplex I-PDU(s).
> AUTOSAR EcuC format
> Initialization of transmission multiplex I-PDU buffers. This is required by e.g. FrIf in
case the transmission of a multiplex I-PDU is triggered by interface layer BSW module
before the transmission of their mapped dynamic and or static parts is requested.
> Just-in-Time Update of dynamic and / or static parts.
> DET error reporting.

Table 3-3 Features provided beyond the AUTOSAR standard
3.2
Initialization
The IpduM is initialized by calling the API IpduM_Init(). This is done by the AUTOSAR
BSW module EcuM. If this is not the case, an adequate and suitable solution has to be
provided.
The API initializes all the transmission multiplex I-PDU(s) buffer(s) and all runtime relevant
module variables. The successful execution of the API initializes the IpduM.
Caution
No IpduM function should pre-empt IpduM_Init(). The function should be called
on task level and should not to be interrupted by other administrative function calls.
3.3
States
The IpduM has the states: uninitialized and initialized. By calling IpduM_Init(), the state is
changed from uninitialized to initialized.
3.4
Main Functions
IpduM provides all functions described in [1]. The function IpduM_MainFunction()
should be called cyclically by the Basic Software Scheduler or a similar component. The
IpduM_MainFunction() primarily takes care of the timeout handling of the multiplexed
I-PDU transmission confirmations.
3.5
Error Handling
3.5.1
Development Error Reporting
By default, development errors are reported to the DET using the service
Det_ReportError() as specified in [1], if development error reporting is enabled (i.e.
pre-compile parameter IPDUM_DEV_ERROR_DETECT==STD_ON). The DET reporting can
be enabled during pre-compile time.

Version 2.06.00
11
based on template version 5.2.0

Technical Reference MICROSAR I-PDU Multiplexer
If another module is used for development error reporting, the function prototype for
reporting the error can be configured by the integrator, but must have the same signature
as the service Det_ReportError().
The reported IPDUM ID is 52.
The reported services IDs identify the IPDUM services as specified by [1]. For the service
IDs and their related service names see section 8.3 of [1].
The errors reported to DET are described in section 7.6 of [1].
3.6
nPdu-to-Frame mapping for CAN-FD
This feature was backported from AUTOSAR 4.2.1. It can be used to collect multiple PDUs
and transfer them in one CAN-FD frame, for saving bandwidth or tunneling several classic
CAN busses over one CAN-FD bus. The IpduM module handles packing and unpacking of
those frames similar to the multiplexing feature.
Several “contained” PDUs can be put into a single “container” PDU in arbitrary order and
unpacked in the same order on the receiver side. Transmission is triggered by one of
these conditions:
> Contained PDU send timeout runs out.
> Container PDU send timeout runs out.
> Size threshold of container PDU is reached.
> Contained PDU is configured for immediate transmission.
> Container PDU is configured for immediate transmission.
On the receiver side, the contained PDUs are retrieved from the container PDU again and
RxIndications are created for every single contained PDU in the same order they were put
into the container PDU. For even greater flexibility, a container PDU on the receiver side
can be configured to accept any contained PDU instead of just the ones that are
configured.

event can be used to send binary information to an extended task. The
meaning of events is defined by the application. Any task can set an
event for an extended task. The event can only be cleared by the task
which is assigned to the event.
Interrupt
Processor-specific event which can interrupt the execution of a current
program section.
Post-build
This type of configuration is possible after building the software module or
the ECU software. The software may either receive parameters of its
configuration during the download of the complete ECU software resulting
from the linkage of the code, or it may receive its configuration file that
can be downloaded to the ECU separately, avoiding a re-compilation and
re-build of the ECU software modules. In order to make the post-build
time re-configuration possible, the re-configurable parameters shall be
stored at a known memory location of ECU storage area.
Scheduler
The algorithm which decides whether a task switch is to be affected and
which triggers all necessary internal activities of the operating system is
named scheduler. The scheduler decides whether a task switch is
possible according to the implemented scheduling policy. The scheduler
can be considered as a resource which can be occupied and released by
tasks. Thus a task can reserve the scheduler to avoid task switch until the
scheduler is released.
Signal
A signal is responsible for the logical transmission and reception of
information depending on the restrictions of the physical layer. The
definition of the signal contents is part of the database given by the
vehicle manufacturer. Signals describe the significance of the individual
data segments within a message. Typically bits, bytes or words are used

for data segments but individual bit combinations are also possible. In the
CAN data base, each data segment is assigned a symbolic name, a
value range, a conversion formula and a physical unit, as well as a list of
receiving nodes.
