Situation:
There are ECUs with almost identical, at least similar functionality. The ECUs are derived from one data base file.
E.g. the ECUs for the doors, left door and right door. How to deal with this situation? How to save precious development time? This is a typical Physical Multiple ECU use case.
Solution:
Develop an ECU including the communication information for both ECUs (right door and left door). Use this ECU twice. The only difference is the definition of its identity at startup of the software. Define the ECU to be the left door or the right door ECU by a single function call at startup.
