Claims8
A system for distributing and executing program code in a control unit network, comprising:
- a source control unit and a target control unit, the source control unit being adapted to detect a defect in its hardware and to transmit its code to the target control unit in the network, the target control unit being adapted to execute the transmitted code.
A method for distributing and executing program code in a control unit network, the method comprising:
- if a hardware defect is detected in a source control unit, transmitting its code to a target control unit in the network;
- and
- executing the transmitted code in the target control unit.
