Requirements

Communication.SystemErrorHandling

(C++) exceptions shall not be used for error handling. The best way to deal with errors is to try to resolve those component internally. If not possible the caller of the function shall be notified of the error. For (error) returns there is a specific library to be used in S-CORE, it is the Score::Result library which is part of the Base Libraries feature.

Communication.InterProcessCommunication

The platform shall support inter-process communication.

Communication.IntraProcessCommunication

The platform shall support intra-process communication.

Communication.StableApplicationInterfaces

The platform shall provide a framework to mitigate incompatible changes on external interfaces to keep application interfaces stable.

Communication.ExtensibleExternalCommunication

The platform shall support external communication via well established protocols e.g. Zenoh, DDS.

Communication.SystemSafeCommunication

The platform shall support safe communication.

Communication.SecureCommunication

The following security features shall be supported by the platform: Mandatory access control, Secure boot, Secure onboard communication, IPSec and MACSec, Firewall, Certificate installation and storage in HSM or ARM trustzone, Kernel hardening (ASLR, Pointer obfuscation …) in libc and compiler, Identity and Access Management, Secure Feature Activation, Secure software update.

Communication.SupportForTimeBasedArchitectures

The platform shall support a deterministic, time-based application execution model that triggers logic based on predefined schedules or polling intervals.

Communication.SystemSupportForDataDrivenArchitecture

The platform shall support an event-driven, high-throughput application architecture where execution is triggered by data changes.

Communication.SystemSupportForRequestDrivenArchitecture

The platform shall support a request-driven, asynchronous application architecture that processes requests on-demand.

Communication.ProgrammingLanguagesForApplicationDevelopment

The platform shall support implementation of applications in the following programming languages up to the highest ASIL level as defined in automotive_safety: C, C++, Rust.

Communication.TracingOfCommunication

The platform shall support the tracing of communication events for internal and external communication systems.
