Abstract
Vehicles, e.g., autonomous vehicles, can have sophisticated networked systems onboard. A networked system for a vehicle may include many edge devices, such as sensors, network devices, microcontrollers, boards, operating systems, etc. Many edge devices may report health status information to help vehicles achieve a certain integrity level and safety goals. The health status information may be collected and processed by a compute system to assess whether certain flags or alerts should be raised, and whether the vehicle should enter a degraded state of operation. It is not trivial to implement an effective and efficient framework that can manage many edge devices in a networked system reporting a high volume of health status information. An edge devices diagnostics framework may ensure reliable transmission of health status information, mechanisms for fault injection, and the use of configuration templates to standardize and simplify configuration of monitors for various edge devices.
