Introduction
ISO 20794 (all parts) specifies the application (partly), application layer, transport layer, network
layer, data link layer and physical layer requirements of an in-vehicle network called “clock extension
peripheral interface (CXPI)”.
CXPI is an automotive low-speed single wire network. It is an enabler for reducing vehicle weight and
fuel consumption by reducing wire counts to simple devices like switches and sensors.
CXPI serves as and is designed for automotive control applications, for example door control group,
light switch and HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Condition) systems.
The CXPI services, protocols and their key characteristics are specified in different parts according to
the OSI layers.
— Application and application layer:
— application measurement and control data communication to exchange information between
applications in different nodes based on message communication;
— wake-up and sleep functionality;
— two kinds of communication methods can be selected at system design by each node:
i) the event-triggered method, which supports application measurement- and control-based
(event-driven) slave node communication; and
ii) the polling method, which supports slave node communication based on a periodic master
schedule;
— performs error detection and reports the result to the application;
— application error management.
— Transport layer and network layer:
— transforms a message into a single packet;
— adds protocol control information for diagnostic and node configuration into each packet;
— adds packet identifier for diagnostic and node configuration into each packet;
— performs error detection and reports the result to higher OSI layers.
— Data link layer and physical layer:
— provides long and short data frames;
— adds a frame identifier into the frame;
— adds frame information into the frame;
— adds a cyclic redundancy check into the frame;
— performs byte-wise arbitration and reports the arbitration result to higher OSI layers;
— performs frame type detection in reception function;
— performs error detection and reports the result to higher OSI layers;
— performs Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA);
— performs Collision Resolution (CR);

— generates a clock, which is transmitted with each bit to synchronise the connected nodes on the
CXPI network;
— supports bit rates up to 20 kbit/s.
To achieve this, it is based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Basic Reference Model specified
[2]
in ISO/IEC 7498-1 and ISO/IEC 10731 , which structures communication systems into seven layers.
Figure 1 illustrates an overview of communication frameworks beyond the scope of this document
including related standards:

— vehicle normal communication framework, which is composed of ISO 20794-2 and ISO 20794-5 ;
[3] [4]
— vehicle diagnostic communication framework, which is composed of ISO 14229-1 , ISO 14229-2
[5]
and ISO 14229-8 ;
[8]
— presentation layer standards, e.g. vehicle manufacturer specific or ISO 22901-1 ODX ;
— lower OSI layers framework, which is composed of ISO 20794-3, ISO 20794-4, this document and
[7]
ISO 20794-7 .

ISO 20794 (all parts) and ISO 14229-8 are based on the conventions specified in the OSI Service

Conventions (ISO/IEC 10731 ) as they apply for all layers and the diagnostic services.

This document covers the conformance test cases (CTC) to verify the requirements described in
ISO 20794-3.

ISO 20794-6:2020(E)

6.2 Test conditions
Tests can be performed at room temperature, if the temperature is in the range of 15° C to 35° C. Also,
the tests shall be performed under room EMI (electro-magnetic interference) conditions.
6.3 IUT requirements
The occurrence of the error specified in ISO 20794-2:2020, 9.6.8 shall be notified to the application.
The IUT shall be initialised in the CTC respectively.
6.4 CTC definition
The definition of each test case specifies, whether the IUT is a master or a slave node. Each CTC is
defined in the structure as defined in Table 1.
Table 1 — CTC definition example
Item Content
CTC # – Title [OSI layer #].CTC_[number_name]
E.g. 3.CTC_4.1 – Master node – NL error detection (N_As timeout)
Purpose E.g. This CTC verifies the master node to detect the error of an N_As timeout.
E.g. This CTC verifies that timeout error detection shall be performed correctly.
Reference REQ document, REQ number – REQ name
E.g. ISO 20794-2:2020, REQ 3.13 NL – Timing definition – NL – Timing parameters;
Prerequisite The test system set-up shall be in accordance with Figure 2.
Set-up — The IUT shall be configured as a master node or a slave node.
— The IUT shall be configured to support N_ErrDet2 (see 6.6.7), TST_MSG_01_

TST_MSG_16_RESP_ERRBIT_0–12.
— The bit rate shall be set to the default value (see 6.6.2).
— The SUT shall be initialised to the default state (see 6.7).
Step 1. The IUT shall transmit the TST_MSG_01_REQ_PID and the TST_MSG_10_RESP_0–12.
2. The LT shall transmit the TST_MSG_01_REQ_PID as the higher priority than the IUT and
the TST_MSG_10_RESP_0–12 to generate arbitration lost on the IUT.
3. The LT shall transmit the TST_MSG_05_REQ_PID_ERRBIT.
Iteration Definition of repetitions of test procedure steps.
EXAMPLE
REPEAT step 1 to step 2, 1 000 times;
…
REPEAT END
Expected Define the expected behaviour of the IUT by checking on the CXPI network when the test step
response is executed.
EXAMPLE
After step 3: The IUT shall transmit the TST_MSG_16_RESP_ERRBIT_0–12 with
Err_NL_TIMEOUT_A = TRUE.
The LT shall receive the TST_MSG_16_RESP_ERRBIT_0–12 with

ISO 20794-6:2020(E)

6.5 Test system set-up
[1]
The test system set-up follows the ISO/IEC 9646-1 and consists of a test system and a system under
test (SUT) connected via the physical medium. The test system implements an upper tester (UT)
and a lower tester (LT). The test system uses set-up parameters (see Figure 2, key 1) for testing the
communication with the IUT.
The UT uses the test control protocol (see Figure 2, key 2) to control the LT.
The point of control and observation (PCO) functionality between the UT of the test system and the UT
App test stub in the SUT is provided by direct logical access to the abstract service primitive interface
(ASPs (ETSs), PCO, see dashed line in Figure 2, key 3) and the associated parameters of the OSI layers as
specified in the ISO 20794 series.
The UT App test stub in the SUT (see Figure 2, key 4) supports an equivalent part of the ASP (see
Figure 2, key 3) and the associated parameters to control and measure the state(s) of the IUT.
The UT App in the test system, which represents the conformance test controller, manipulates the
service primitive interface parameters in the IUT App test stub via the ASPs (ETSs) and PCO of the OSI
layers to fulfil the purpose of each CTC.
If the IUT is a master node then the LT functions as a slave node. If the IUT is a slave node then the
LT functions as a master node. The test system shall ensure the precision of the bit time and bit
synchronisation of the master node as specified in ISO 20794-4:2020, 9.3.7.

6.6 Configuration of test system and IUT
6.6.1 General
The test system requires set-up parameters (see Figure 2, key 1), which specify OSI-4 and 3-layer
properties of the IUT. The IUT-specific data sheet (see Figure 2, key 1) includes set-up parameters which
the test system requires to perform the CTCs.
Table 2 specifies the configuration of test system and the IUT in the CTCs. In each CTC description,
configuration is specified in the 'configuration' column.
