Abstract

A functional architecture pattern has a first software module, an operating system module, a first board support package, and a first microcomputer. The functional architecture pattern further has a second software module, a second board support package, and a second microcomputer that are logically separated from the first software module, the operating system module, the first board support package, and the first microcomputer. The first software module is developed according to quality management standards, while the operating system module, both first and second board support packages, and the third software module are developed according to safety integrity levels standards so as to make a logical split-off on three levels between the first software module software and the second software module.
