XCP: The Universal Measurement and Calibration Protocol Family

XCP Features

The basic features of XCP provide the functionality for synchronous data acquisition/stimulation, read/write access and calibration data page initialization/switching. Furthermore XCP supports ECU flash programming.

Additionally to its Standard Master-Slave Mode, XCP supports a Block Communication Mode and an Interleaved Communication Mode. XCP supports dynamic data transfer configuration for synchronous data acquisition and stimulation. The data transfer itself can be synchronized, time stamped and prioritized. As for calibration, XCP supports atomic bit modification and bit wise data stimulation.

XCP supports different communication bus systems.

Comparison between CCP and XCP on CAN
In comparison to CCP, XCP on CAN has a higher efficiency and throughput, combined with more compatibility. The support for power-up data transfer and data page freezing has also been improved in XCP on CAN. New mechanisms for auto-detection and auto-configuration of ECUs and measurement modules have been added.
