This paper describes the use of an OSEK/VDX Real- Time Operating System (RTOS) and the implementation of an OSEK compliant communication protocol, layered on the CAN Bus or the SAE J1850 standard, that supports a distributed framework. The paper provides an overview of the OSEK/VDX specification and examines the application programming interface (API) and the code generation software necessary to configure and implement a distributed control system.The paper will use a simple illustration to demonstrate the implementation process, providing example OIL and C files.
