ABSTRACT
The message buffer concept essentially enables the application associated with a FlexRay node to:
‧ Place data to be transmitted into a region of shared memory and know that the corresponding FlexRay frame
will be transmitted on the FlexRay bus in its assigned slot.
‧ Respond to a notification that a valid FlexRay frame has been received and retrieve the corresponding data
from its assigned region of shared memory.
Setting up the message buffers in a FlexRay node involves implementing the required hardware and developing application software to configure, control, and monitor the message buffers according to the communication needs of the target system. Planning for these activities requires an understanding of how message buffers work.
