Abstract
An electronic device in a vehicle includes at least one interface to a vehicle bus, at least one processor, and at least one memory including program code. The program code causes the electronic device to configure the interface to communicate with a controller in the vehicle over a transport protocol. The program code causes the electronic device to be accessible to the controller over the interface as a block device. The program code causes the electronic device to, upon receiving, from the controller, a request to access the block device over the transport protocol, read data from the block device and transmit, to the controller, the data over the transport protocol.
Claims15
An electronic device in a vehicle, the electronic device comprising:
- at least one interface to a vehicle bus;
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including program code, wherein the program code causes the electronic device, when executed with the at least one processor, to:
- configure the interface to communicate with a controller in the vehicle over a transport protocol;
- configure the electronic device to be accessible to the controller over the interface as a block device;
- and
- upon receiving, from the controller, a request to access the block device over the transport protocol:
- read data from the block device;
- and
- transmit, to the controller, the data over the transport protocol.
A computer-implemented method for communication in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- configuring an interface of an electronic device to communicate with a controller in the vehicle over a transport protocol;
- configuring the electronic device to be accessible to the controller over the interface as a block device;
- and
- upon receiving, from the controller, a request to access the block device over the transport protocol:
- reading data from the block device;
- and
- transmitting, to the controller, the data over the transport protocol.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions including:
- configuring an interface of an electronic device to communicate with a controller in a vehicle over a transport protocol;
- configuring the electronic device to be accessible to the controller over the interface as a block device;
- and
- upon receiving, from the controller, a request to access the block device over the transport protocol:
- reading data from the block device;
- and
- transmitting, to the controller, the data over the transport protocol.
