An electronic device coupling system includes a master electronic device and a plurality of slave electronic devices. The master electronic device includes a connecting module. Each slave electronic device includes a coupling module. The connecting module includes a plurality of connecting ports. Each connecting port assembly has a plurality of group address codes corresponding to the slave devices and a plurality of matching codes corresponding to each connecting port and each group address code. The master device can be coupled to each slave device according to a group address code. The coupling ports are configured to couple to the connecting ports according to the matching codes. An electronic device coupling method is further provided.

Systems and methods are provided for testing driver assistance components and systems. Testing may involve using different types of data received at different virtual channel ports of a serial interface, in which each port receives a particular type of data, which data are then routed to different destination components using a table mapping each virtual channel port to a particular destination component. In another aspect, an update packet is used to modify a current version of the table, which maps each virtual channel port of a set of virtual channel ports to at least one of multiple destination components, to generate an updated version of the table, which is then used for routing subsequently received packets. A data modification module (DMM), which is one of the multiple destination components, may be used in the update process.

A camera for a vehicle includes an image sensor and processing logic. The image sensor captures event images based on one or more messages generated by the vehicle communication bus.

The aspects disclosed herein generally provide a method and a system of real-time data monitoring for a vehicle. The method comprises packaging monitoring data into one or more physical Automotive Audio Bus (A2B) channels according to a data package protocol; transferring the packaged monitoring data via a A2B bus; and unpackaging the transferred data and displaying the unpackaged monitoring data.

A request to send a message from a first component, located on a first processor, to a second component, located on a second processor, is received. It is determined that the second processor can be communicated with via a first bidirectional communication path. It is determined that bandwidth is available on the first bidirectional communication path. It is determined that bandwidth is available on a second bidirectional communication path. In response to a determination that bandwidth is available on the second bidirectional communication path, a data path is created between the first component and the second bidirectional communication path and the request to send the message to the second component is granted. In response to a determination that bandwidth is not available on the first bidirectional communication path or on the second bidirectional communication path, the grant of the request to send the message to the second component is delayed.
