Similar to the software installed on a PC or a smartphone, automotive ECU applications also require regular software updates.
For instance, an OEM or the product Supplier, want to release a new software version of the existing product line. This new version may contain bug-fixes and some optimizations.
In that case, Automotive ECU Reprogramming becomes a necessity.
Flash Bootloader, a small piece of software installed inside the vehicle control units, is tasked with this ECU reprogramming duties.
As the automotive applications has become advanced, a standard Bootloader is not capable in managing some complex use-cases of ECU reprogramming.
And this has paved the way for the design of different variants of Bootloader. You can also read our detailed blog on types of Flash Bootloaders.
Our latest video on Bootloader delves deep into the need for new Bootloader types and also introduces these variants.
This video on Flash Bootloader will Throw Some Light On:
- Evolution of Bootloader
- Need for different variants of Bootloader
- Different types of Bootloader used for ECU Reprogramming
We will now stop the talking and let the video take over.
This video will be useful for automotive engineers, Business Managers and decision makers (Automotive OEMs and suppliers).
