Abstract
A method is provided for generating a reprogramming file to reprogram a target electronic control unit (ECU) in a target vehicle. High-level language diagnostic commands are generated utilizing a standardized specification language editor comprising Open Test sequence data eXchange (OTX). High-to-low level command conversions specific for the target ECU generate Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) operation transactions. The high-level language diagnostic sequence commands are converted into imperative language instructions-that are compiled into binary code corresponding to handling routines. A binary image of the target ECU is segmented into a plurality of data blocks. The plurality of data blocks and respective the UDS operation transactions are compiled to provide a plurality of UDS stages that are assembled into the reprogramming file.
