Inter-Platform Communication Framework (IPCF)

IPCF

The Inter-Platform Communication Framework (IPCF) is a subsystem that enables applications (running on multiple homogenous or heterogeneous processing cores) located on the same chip or different chips (running on other operating systems like AUTOSAR™, FreeRTOS™, or more) to communicate over various transport interfaces (such as Shared Memory and others).

IPCF exposes a zero-copy API that customers can directly use for maximum performance, minimum overhead, and low CPU load. The driver ensures freedom from interference between local and remote shared memory by executing all writing operations only in the local memory domain.

Customers can enforce memory protection for their software with IPCF.

Features

General

  • Contains the communication driver over shared memory supporting AUTOSAR, FreeRTOS, and bare-metal.
  • Supported by S32 Design Studio with S32 Configuration Tool
  • Release based on Real-Time Drivers (RTD) software
  • Sample applications available demonstrating a ping-pong message communication

Drivers

  • Shared memory generic implementation that is hardware and operating system agnostic
  • Hardware abstraction component: abstraction over various HW IP modules (MSCM, INTC …)
  • Operating system abstraction component: OS agnostic API for common OS services
