Abstract
A computer system includes a plurality of communication interfaces. A first interface configured to bidirectionally communicate with a first ECU engineering tool using a first communication protocol. A second interface configured to bidirectionally communicate with a second ECU engineering tool using a second communication protocol differing from the first communication protocol. A third interface is configured to bidirectionally communicate with an electronic control unit (ECU) using a third communication protocol. A connection manager is configured to provide concurrent utilization by the first interface and the second interface of a single communication session with the ECU via the third interface.
