Ford Embedded Software Training in the USA

Ford Embedded Software Workshop | 1-4 Days

This workshop explains the foundation of the Ford Networking Operating System. The workshop starts with a brief introduction to Ford's Physical Layer and the CAN protocol. Attendees will learn the FNOS I3 strategies, including the integration Layer, OSEK NM, ISO transport layer and ISO 14229-based diagnostics. Another topic of the workshop is Ford's GGDS diagnostic strategy and will prepare you for a successful implementation of diagnostics in your ECU. You will get to know Ford diagnostic concepts, how they are implemented on CAN and the Ford diagnostic development process. You will also be provided with knowledge and hands-on exercises to help you integrate FNOS software into your module. You'll learn how to configure and integrate the FNOS software, including the diagnostic kernel (CANdesc).
