A SIMPLE AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATION USING FLEXRAY™ PROTOCOL

FlexRay™ protocol is emerging as the next generation automotive communication protocol which offers high data rate, deterministic, fault tolerant, flexible in-vehicle data communication. This protocol supports both time triggered and event triggered data communication. The network that uses FlexRay™ protocol is called FlexRay™ network. The need for FlexRay™ protocol is the substantial demand for the high capacity in-vehicle data communication between the electronic components. In this work, we used Infineon SoCs as FlexRay™ nodes and establish communication between multiple nodes using FlexRay™ protocol. A simple automotive application is developed with temperature and magnetic field sensor being connected to a node and the sensor data is being communicated over the FlexRay™ network

Robust and secure resource management for automotive cyber-physical systems

2022 Spring.Includes bibliographical references.Modern vehicles are examples of complex cyber-physical systems with tens to hundreds of interconnected Electronic Control Units (ECUs) that manage various vehicular subsystems. With the shift towards autonomous driving, emerging vehicles are being characterized by an increase in the number of hardware ECUs, greater complexity of applications (software), and more sophisticated in-vehicle networks. These advances have resulted in numerous challenges that impact the reliability, security, and real-time performance of these emerging automotive systems. Some of the challenges include coping with computation and communication uncertainties (e.g., jitter), developing robust control software, detecting cyber-attacks, ensuring data integrity, and enabling confidentiality during communication. However, solutions to overcome these challenges incur additional overhead, which can catastrophically delay the execution of real-time automotive tasks and message transfers. Hence, there is a need for a holistic approach to a system-level solution for resource management in automotive cyber-physical systems that enables robust and secure automotive system design while satisfying a diverse set of system-wide constraints. ECUs in vehicles today run a variety of automotive applications ranging from simple vehicle window control to highly complex Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) applications. The aggressive attempts of automakers to make vehicles fully autonomous have increased the complexity and data rate requirements of applications and further led to the adoption of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) based techniques for improved perception and control. Additionally, modern vehicles are becoming increasingly connected with various external systems to realize more robust vehicle autonomy. These paradigm shifts have resulted in significant overheads in resource constrained ECUs and increased the complexity of the overall automotive system (including heterogeneous ECUs, network architectures, communication protocols, and applications), which has severe performance and safety implications on modern vehicles. The increased complexity of automotive systems introduces several computation and communication uncertainties in automotive subsystems that can cause delays in applications and messages, resulting in missed real-time deadlines. Missing deadlines for safety-critical automotive applications can be catastrophic, and this problem will be further aggravated in the case of future autonomous vehicles. Additionally, due to the harsh operating conditions (such as high temperatures, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference (EMI)) of automotive embedded systems, there is a significant risk to the integrity of the data that is exchanged between ECUs which can lead to faulty vehicle control. These challenges demand a more reliable design of automotive systems that is resilient to uncertainties and supports data integrity goals. Additionally, the increased connectivity of modern vehicles has made them highly vulnerable to various kinds of sophisticated security attacks. Hence, it is also vital to ensure the security of automotive systems, and it will become crucial as connected and autonomous vehicles become more ubiquitous. However, imposing security mechanisms on the resource constrained automotive systems can result in additional computation and communication overhead, potentially leading to further missed deadlines. Therefore, it is crucial to design techniques that incur very minimal overhead (lightweight) when trying to achieve the above-mentioned goals and ensure the real-time performance of the system. We address these issues by designing a holistic resource management framework called ROSETTA that enables robust and secure automotive cyber-physical system design while satisfying a diverse set of constraints related to reliability, security, real-time performance, and energy consumption. To achieve reliability goals, we have developed several techniques for reliability-aware scheduling and multi-level monitoring of signal integrity. To achieve security objectives, we have proposed a lightweight security framework that provides confidentiality and authenticity while meeting both security and real-time constraints. We have also introduced multiple deep learning based intrusion detection systems (IDS) to monitor and detect cyber-attacks in the in-vehicle network. Lastly, we have introduced novel techniques for jitter management and security management and deployed lightweight IDSs on resource constrained automotive ECUs while ensuring the real-time performance of the automotive systems

Safety-Critical Communication in Avionics

The aircraft of today use electrical fly-by-wire systems for manoeuvring. These safety-critical distributed systems are called flight control systems and put high requirements on the communication networks that interconnect the parts of the systems. Reliability, predictability, flexibility, low weight and cost are important factors that all need to be taken in to consideration when designing a safety-critical communication system. In this thesis certification issues, requirements in avionics, fault management, protocols and topologies for safety-critical communication systems in avionics are discussed and investigated. The protocols that are investigated in this thesis are: TTP/C, FlexRay and AFDX, as a reference protocol MIL-STD-1553 is used. As reference architecture analogue point-to-point is used. The protocols are described and evaluated regarding features such as services, maturity, supported physical layers and topologies.Pros and cons with each protocol are then illustrated by a theoretical implementation of a flight control system that uses each protocol for the highly critical communication between sensors, actuators and flight computers.The results show that from a theoretical point of view TTP/C could be used as a replacement for a point-to-point flight control system. However, there are a number of issues regarding the physical layer that needs to be examined. Finally a TTP/C cluster has been implemented and basic functionality tests have been conducted. The plan was to perform tests on delays, start-up time and reintegration time but the time to acquire the proper hardware for these tests exceeded the time for the thesis work. More advanced testing will be continued here at Saab beyond the time frame of this thesis

Métodos de escalonamento de mensagens para o sistema de comunicação FlexRay

Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Automação e Sistemas, Florianópolis, 2015.Este trabalho se insere na área de protocolos de tempo real, abordando especificamente o Sistema de Comunicação FlexRay, um protocolo de tempo real para usos automotivos. O objeto de estudo deste trabalho foram os mecanismos de escalonamento de fluxos de mensagens para o FlexRay, bem como as técnicas utilizadas na análise de tempo de resposta em sistemas que utilizam tal protocolo. O objetivo geral desta tese foi a elaboração e a avaliação de mecanismos para o escalonamento e análise de tempo de resposta de sistemas que utilizem o Sistema de Comunicação FlexRay. São apresentadas quatro propostas. As duas primeiras propostas estão relacionadas ao segmento Estático do FlexRay. Ambas demonstram a viabilidade de se definir a alocação de slots estáticos para cada nodo utilizando técnicas tradicionais para a análise de tempo de resposta considerando-se os requisitos temporais impostos pelo conjunto de fluxos de mensagens de cada nodo, e são métodos capazes de considerar conjuntos de fluxos com períodos que não são múltiplos de FC, sendo também capazes de considerar o caso em que a geração de mensagens nos fluxos não está sincronizada com o FC. São também apresentadas duas propostas que abordam a questão do escalonamento de fluxos de mensagens aperiódicos no Segmento Dinâmico do FlexRay. Foram apresentados dois mecanismos para métodos de arbitragem do DN que tiram vantagem da flexibilidade que fluxos aperiódicos possuem em relação a restrições de tempo real. Em ambos os mecanismos, os fluxos de mensagens aperiódicos de um sistema são associados com uma probabilidade de backoff, e um middleware de tempo real específico utiliza tal probabilidade de backoff para definir se uma mensagem gerada por um fluxo aperiódico irá competir ou não pelo barramento no ciclo de comunicação atual, influenciando nas chances que mensagens com prioridades mais baixas tem de serem transmitidas.Abstract : This work addresses the FlexRay Communication System, a digital serial bus for automotive applications designed to meet the demands of X-by-Wire systems. It provides flexibility, bandwidth and determinism by combining static and dynamic approaches for message transmission, incorporating the advantages of synchronous and asynchronous protocols. The area of interest of this work is scheduling mechanisms for FlexRay, being the overall objective of this thesis the development and evaluation of new techniques for scheduling and timing analysis for FlexRay. In this document four proposals are presented. Two proposals are related to FlexRay Static Segment. These two proposals demonstrate the feasibility of defining the static slot allocation for each node using traditional Response Time Analysis (RTA) techniques, and thus considering the timing requirements imposed by the set of message streams allocated to each node. The proposed techniques are able to deal with message stream sets where periods are not multiples of the FlexRay cycle duration, nor the messages generation is synchronized with the FlexRay cycle. They are also presented two proposals addressing the scheduling of aperiodic message streams in FlexRay Dynamic Segment. Both mechanisms use a probabilistic approach that takes advantage of the flexibility of aperiodic message streams regarding real-time constraints. In the proposed methods, a real-time middleware in each network node manages the transmission of messages generated by aperiodic streams in Dynamic Segment. Whenever a RT-middleware senses that aperiodic messages may be indefinitely postponed, it enters backoff mode. In backoff mode, a RT-middleware randomly defines whether an aperiodic message that is waiting to be transmitted will be sent to the bus in the current FC or if that message will be postponed to another FC, affecting the transmission chances of messages generated by streams with lower priorities have of being transmitted

A framework for assertion-based timing verification and PC-based restbus simulation of automotive systems

Innovation in der Automobilindustrie wird durch Elektronik und vor allem durch Software ermöglicht. In der Regel wird eine Vielzahl von verteilten Funktionen realisiert. Typischerweise, wird diese Software über mehrere Steuergeräte verteilt. Durch die Verteilung und die Vielzahl an Funktionen ensteht eine immer wachsende Komplexität, die den Verifikations- und Validierungsprozess anspruchsvoller und schwieriger gestaltet. Daher ist für Ingenieure in der Automobilindustrie die Entwicklung von effizienten und effektiven Design-Methoden von großem Interesse.Ein zentrales Element in der Entwicklung automobiler Software ist der komponentebasierten Ansatz. Derzeit ist AUTOSAR der wichtigste Standard, der dieses Paradigma unterstützt. Die Systembeschreibungssprache SystemC ist ebenfalls ein Mittel, um AUTOSAR-Komponenten simulieren zu können. Desweiteren stellt SystemC einen Satz von Bibliotheken zur Verfügung wie zum Beispiel die „SystemC Verification Library“ (SCV), und einen diskreten Event-Simulationskern. Inzwischen ist das Interesse an der Verwendung von SystemC in der automobile Softwareentwicklung stark gestiegen.In dieser Arbeit stellen wir eine SystemC-basierte Entwurfsmethodik für eine frühe Validierung zeitkritischer automobile Systeme vor. Die Methodik reicht von einer reinen SystemC-Simulation bis zu einer PC-basierten Restbussimulation. Um die Synchronisation bezüglich Überabtastung und Unterabtastung zwischen dem SystemC-Simulationsmodell und dem Restbus während der Restbussimulation zu gewährleisten, präsentieren wir ein Synchronisationsverfahren. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde für die Integration von SystemC-Komponenten IP-XACT als Modelierungsstandard verwendet. Um eine Zeitanalyse ermöglichen zu können, stellen wir Erweiterungen für den IP-XACT-Standard vor, mit deren Hilfe Zeitanforderungen anAutomotive system innovation is mainly driven by software which can be distributed over a large number of functions typically deployed over several ECUs. This growing design complexity makes the verification and validation process challenging and difficult. Therefore, the development of efficient and effective design methodologies is of great interest for automotive engineers.A central concept in the development of automotive software is the component-based approach. Currently, the most prominent approach that supports this design paradigm is the AUTOSAR. The SLDL SystemC provides means to simulate the behavior of AUTOSAR software components by means of a discrete-event simulation kernel. Additionally, SystemC comes with a set of libraries such as the SCV. Meanwhile, the interest of using SystemC has grown in the automotive software development community. In this thesis we present a SystemC-based design methodology for early validation of time-critical automotive systems. The methodology spans from pure SystemC simulation to PC-based Restbus simulation. To deal with synchronization issues (oversampling and undersampling) that arise during Restbus simulation between the SystemC simulation model and the remaining bus network, we also present a new synchronization approach. Finally, we make use IP-XACT for SystemC component integration. To capture timing constraints on the simulation model, we propose timing extensions for the IP-XACT standard. These timing constraints can then be used to verify the SystemC simulation model.Tag der Verteidigung: 11.09.2015Paderborn, Univ., Diss., 201

Tolerância a falhas em sistemas de comunicação de tempo-real flexíveis

Nas últimas décadas, os sistemas embutidos distribuídos, têm sido usados em variados domínios de aplicação, desde o controlo de processos industriais até ao controlo de aviões e automóveis, sendo expectável que esta tendência se mantenha e até se intensifique durante os próximos anos. Os requisitos de confiabilidade de algumas destas aplicações são extremamente importantes, visto que o não cumprimento de serviços de uma forma previsível e pontual pode causar graves danos económicos ou até pôr em risco vidas humanas. A adopção das melhores práticas de projecto no desenvolvimento destes sistemas não elimina, por si só, a ocorrência de falhas causadas pelo comportamento não determinístico do ambiente onde o sistema embutido distribuído operará. Desta forma, é necessário incluir mecanismos de tolerância a falhas que impeçam que eventuais falhas possam comprometer todo o sistema. Contudo, para serem eficazes, os mecanismos de tolerância a falhas necessitam ter conhecimento a priori do comportamento correcto do sistema de modo a poderem ser capazes de distinguir os modos correctos de funcionamento dos incorrectos. Tradicionalmente, quando se projectam mecanismos de tolerância a falhas, o conhecimento a priori significa que todos os possíveis modos de funcionamento são conhecidos na fase de projecto, não os podendo adaptar nem fazer evoluir durante a operação do sistema. Como consequência, os sistemas projectados de acordo com este princípio ou são completamente estáticos ou permitem apenas um pequeno número de modos de operação. Contudo, é desejável que os sistemas disponham de alguma flexibilidade de modo a suportarem a evolução dos requisitos durante a fase de operação, simplificar a manutenção e reparação, bem como melhorar a eficiência usando apenas os recursos do sistema que são efectivamente necessários em cada instante. Além disto, esta eficiência pode ter um impacto positivo no custo do sistema, em virtude deste poder disponibilizar mais funcionalidades com o mesmo custo ou a mesma funcionalidade a um menor custo. Porém, flexibilidade e confiabilidade têm sido encarados como conceitos conflituais. Isto deve-se ao facto de flexibilidade implicar a capacidade de permitir a evolução dos requisitos que, por sua vez, podem levar a cenários de operação imprevisíveis e possivelmente inseguros. Desta fora, é comummente aceite que apenas um sistema completamente estático pode ser tornado confiável, o que significa que todos os aspectos operacionais têm de ser completamente definidos durante a fase de projecto. Num sentido lato, esta constatação é verdadeira. Contudo, se os modos como o sistema se adapta a requisitos evolutivos puderem ser restringidos e controlados, então talvez seja possível garantir a confiabilidade permanente apesar das alterações aos requisitos durante a fase de operação. A tese suportada por esta dissertação defende que é possível flexibilizar um sistema, dentro de limites bem definidos, sem comprometer a sua confiabilidade e propõe alguns mecanismos que permitem a construção de sistemas de segurança crítica baseados no protocolo Controller Area Network (CAN). Mais concretamente, o foco principal deste trabalho incide sobre o protocolo Flexible Time-Triggered CAN (FTT-CAN), que foi especialmente desenvolvido para disponibilizar um grande nível de flexibilidade operacional combinando, não só as vantagens dos paradigmas de transmissão de mensagens baseados em eventos e em tempo, mas também a flexibilidade associada ao escalonamento dinâmico do tráfego cuja transmissão é despoletada apenas pela evolução do tempo. Este facto condiciona e torna mais complexo o desenvolvimento de mecanismos de tolerância a falhas para FTT-CAN do que para outros protocolos como por exemplo, TTCAN ou FlexRay, nos quais existe um conhecimento estático, antecipado e comum a todos os nodos, do escalonamento de mensagens cuja transmissão é despoletada pela evolução do tempo. Contudo, e apesar desta complexidade adicional, este trabalho demonstra que é possível construir mecanismos de tolerância a falhas para FTT-CAN preservando a sua flexibilidade operacional. É também defendido nesta dissertação que um sistema baseado no protocolo FTT-CAN e equipado com os mecanismos de tolerância a falhas propostos é passível de ser usado em aplicações de segurança crítica. Esta afirmação é suportada, no âmbito do protocolo FTT-CAN, através da definição de uma arquitectura tolerante a falhas integrando nodos com modos de falha tipo falha-silêncio e nodos mestre replicados. Os vários problemas resultantes da replicação dos nodos mestre são, também eles, analisados e várias soluções são propostas para os obviar. Concretamente, é proposto um protocolo que garante a consistência das estruturas de dados replicadas a quando da sua actualização e um outro protocolo que permite a transferência dessas estruturas de dados para um nodo mestre que se encontre não sincronizado com os restantes depois de inicializado ou reinicializado de modo assíncrono. Além disto, esta dissertação também discute o projecto de nodos FTT-CAN que exibam um modo de falha do tipo falha-silêncio e propõe duas soluções baseadas em componentes de hardware localizados no interface de rede de cada nodo, para resolver este problema. Uma das soluções propostas baseiase em bus guardians que permitem a imposição de comportamento falhasilêncio nos nodos escravos e suportam o escalonamento dinâmico de tráfego na rede. A outra solução baseia-se num interface de rede que arbitra o acesso de dois microprocessadores ao barramento. Este interface permite que a replicação interna de um nodo seja efectuada de forma transparente e assegura um comportamento falha-silêncio quer no domínio temporal quer no domínio do valor ao permitir transmissões do nodo apenas quando ambas as réplicas coincidam no conteúdo das mensagens e nos instantes de transmissão. Esta última solução está mais adaptada para ser usada nos nodos mestre, contudo também poderá ser usada nos nodos escravo, sempre que tal se revele fundamental.Distributed embedded systems (DES) have been widely used in the last few decades in several application fields, ranging from industrial process control to avionics and automotive systems. In fact, it is expectable that this trend will continue over the years to come. In some of these application domains the dependability requirements are of utmost importance since failing to provide services in a timely and predictable manner may cause important economic losses or even put human life in risk. The adoption of the best practices in the design of distributed embedded systems does not fully avoid the occurrence of faults, arising from the nondeterministic behavior of the environment where each particular DES operates. Thus, fault-tolerance mechanisms need to be included in the DES to prevent possible faults leading to system failure. To be effective, fault-tolerance mechanisms require an a priori knowledge of the correct system behavior to be capable of distinguishing them from the erroneous ones. Traditionally, when designing fault-tolerance mechanisms, the a priori knowledge means that all possible operational modes are known at system design time and cannot adapt nor evolve during runtime. As a consequence, systems designed according to this principle are either fully static or allow a small number of operational modes only. Flexibility, however, is a desired property in a system in order to support evolving requirements, simplify maintenance and repair, and improve the efficiency in using system resources by using only the resources that are effectively required at each instant. This efficiency might impact positively on the system cost because with the same resources one can add more functionality or one can offer the same functionality with fewer resources. However, flexibility and dependability are often regarded as conflicting concepts. This is so because flexibility implies the ability to deal with evolving requirements that, in turn, can lead to unpredictable and possibly unsafe operating scenarios. Therefore, it is commonly accepted that only a fully static system can be made dependable, meaning that all operating conditions are completely defined at pre-runtime. In the broad sense and assuming unbounded flexibility this assessment is true, but if one restricts and controls the ways the system could adapt to evolving requirements, then it might be possible to enforce continuous dependability. This thesis claims that it is possible to provide a bounded degree of flexibility without compromising dependability and proposes some mechanisms to build safety-critical systems based on the Controller Area Network (CAN). In particular, the main focus of this work is the Flexible Time-Triggered CAN protocol (FTT-CAN), which was specifically developed to provide such high level of operational flexibility, not only combining the advantages of time- and event-triggered paradigms but also providing flexibility to the time-triggered traffic. This fact makes the development of fault-tolerant mechanisms more complex in FTT-CAN than in other protocols, such as TTCAN or FlexRay, in which there is a priori static common knowledge of the time-triggered message schedule shared by all nodes. Nevertheless, as it is demonstrated in this work, it is possible to build fault-tolerant mechanisms for FTT-CAN that preserve its high level of operational flexibility, particularly concerning the time-triggered traffic. With such mechanisms it is argued that FTT-CAN is suitable for safetycritical applications, too. This claim was validated in the scope of the FTT-CAN protocol by presenting a fault-tolerant system architecture with replicated masters and fail-silent nodes. The specific problems and mechanisms related with master replication, particularly a protocol to enforce consistency during updates of replicated data structures and another protocol to transfer these data structures to an unsynchronized node upon asynchronous startup or restart, are also addressed. Moreover, this thesis also discusses the implementations of fail-silence in FTTCAN nodes and proposes two solutions, both based on hardware components that are attached to the node network interface. One solution relies on bus guardians that allow enforcing fail-silence in the time domain. These bus guardians are adapted to support dynamic traffic scheduling and are fit for use in FTT-CAN slave nodes, only. The other solution relies on a special network interface, with duplicated microprocessor interface, that supports internal replication of the node, transparently. In this case, fail-silence can be assured both in the time and value domain since transmissions are carried out only if both internal nodes agree on the transmission instant and message contents. This solution is well adapted for use in the masters but it can also be used, if desired, in slave nodes

Estudo do impacto de transientes elétricos em protocolos de comunicação em sistemas embarcados

O aumento da complexidade e responsabilidade dos dispositivos embarcados nos veículos hoje, tem orientado os esforços no desenvolvimento de sistemas de controle para que estes sejam mais rápidos, precisos, robustos e principamente seguros. Com isso, estes dispositivos estão levando os protocolos de comunicação a um patamar inédito de exigência, tanto no quesito de capacidade como confiabilidade. Protocolos como CAN, CAN-FD e FlexRay entre outros, tem sido utilizados devido às suas características de segurança e a capacidade de atender aos requisitos temporais dos diversos circuitos embarcados. O desenvolvimento e utilização cada vez mais frequente de dispositivos focados em segurança, fazem com que a comunicação entre os diversos componentes destes dispositivos seja exigida ao máximo, levando à necessidade de respostas confiáveis ao extremo. Sistemas como freios ABS, suspensão ativa, frenagem autonoma de emergência, controle de velocidade e distância adaptativo, entre outros, que envolvem várias ECUs distribuídas ao longo do veículo, dispões de frações de segundo para a reação do sistema, entre o sinal de entrada e a atuação correspondente, demandando uma comunicação segura e tolerante à falhas. Os veículos hoje estão passando por grandes mudanças conceituais, trazendo cada vez mais elementos onde o funcionamento demanda mais energia das fontes de alimentação. Diversos sistemas existentes nos veículos geram ruídos como os Transientes Elétricos Rápidos, ou "Electric Fast Transient" (EFT), que estão presentes nas mais simples operações cotidianas do veículo, como ligar e desligar o farol, o ar condicionado, o limpador de para brisas, ou mesmo o acionamento de iluminação diurna (DRL), etc. Neste trabalho foram realizados diversos ensaios, utilizando ECUs com diferentes funções e protocolos, para identificar a susceptibilidade dos referidos sistemas e os protocolos à presença destes ruídos. Visando atender às normas IEC 62228 e a ISO26262, este trabalho demandou o projeto e construção de dois circuitos eletrônicos diferentes, um circuito observando os dados de tempos de subida e de descida (rise and fall time) dos pulsos de EFT, e outro observando a arquitetura do layout da placa de circuito impresso (PCB), as suas entradas, saídas, componentes, etc. Estes ensaios visaram identificar o quanto estes protocolos são suscetíveis à estes tipos de ruídos, utilizando métricas de análise baseadas nos tempos de latência e variação de jitter dos pacotes de comunicação.The increasing complexity and accountability of embedded devices in vehicles today has driven efforts to develop control systems to make them faster, accuratest, safest, robustest. Thus, these devices are taking communication protocols to an unprecedented level of demand, both in terms of capacity and reliability. Protocols such as CAN, CANFD and FlexRay among others have been used due to their safety characteristics and the ability to meet the time requirements of various embedded circuits. The increasing development and use of safety-focused devices, means that communication between the various components of these devices is required to the utmost, leading to the need for extremely reliable responses. Systems such as ABS brakes, active suspension, autonomous emergency braking, adaptative cruise control, among others, which involve various ECUs distributed throughout the vehicle, have milliseconds for system reaction, between input signal and concrete actuation, requiring safe and failure tolerant communication. Vehicles today are undergoing major conceptual changes, bringing more and more elements whose operation require more energy from power supplies. These systems generate noise such as "Electric Fast Transient" (EFT), which are present in the simplest daily operations of the vehicle, such as turning the headlight on, the air conditioner, the windscreen wiper, or even the daytime running light (DRL), etc. In this work several tests were carried out, using different ECUs with different functions and different protocols to identify the susceptibility of these systems and the protocols to these noises. In order to comply with IEC 62228 and ISO 26262 standards, this work required the design and construction of two different electronic circuits, one circuit observing the rise and fall time data of the EFT pulses, and the other observing the architecture of the printed circuit board (PCB) layout, its inputs and outputs, components, etc. These tests aimed to identify how susceptible these protocols are to these types of noise, using analysis metrics based on latency time and jitter variation of communication packets
