The requirements of the OEMs concerning flashing, its process and handling are very different.
The "heart" of the flash download is the OEM Download Manager. It provides all diagnostic services required by the OEM for flash download. It also provides help functions to manage the flash download process.
The OEM Download Manager is developed specifically for the respective OEM. Vector cooperates with a lot of OEMs to get an approved download mechanism. This guarantees that the download fits to the requirements. No further adaptations are required, as this may have influence on the download process, which in turn can make it incompatible.
We gain a lot of experiences by the cooperations with OEMs and ECU suppliers. This allows us to enhance our OEM Download Manager with features like data compression, enhanced security features or heterogeneous hardware platforms like systems equipped with multiple micro controllers.
