Detailed Description

Enable access to a SOVD server and execute diagnostic operations via the SOVD API

The SOVD standard defines entities to access the resources. The resources represents the diagnostic capabilities of the entities and provide a set of commands to request the diagnostic capabilites of each resource and configure or execute diagnostic operations. Entities could be the SOVD server themself, components (e.g. ECUs in the classical sense), APPs (e.g. for SDVs) and areas (grouping of entities). The entity type 'function' from the SOVD standard is currently not supported by this extension.

NOTE: An introduction to the SOVD standard can be found in the blog OTX and SOVD as well as in SOVD support inside OTF.

This OTX extension uses the concept of descriptors to address entities and resources requested from and provided by the SOVD server. The diagnostic data can be accessed by using the descriptors.

A SOVD server supplier provides an offline capability description, containing all possible diagnostic operations. This extension presumes the knowledge of this offline capability description and will omit the "include schema" parameter from all requests. This means, that the additional online capability description provided by adding this parameter isn't needed. The SOVD extension does not forbid browsing through the SOVD server.
