Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 17356-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 3,
Electrical and electronic equipment.
ISO 17356 consists of the following parts, under the general title Road vehicles — Open interface for
embedded automotive applications:
 Part 1: General structure and terms, definitions and abbreviated terms
 Part 2: OSEK/VDX specifications for binding OS, COM and NM
 Part 3: OSEK/VDX operating system (OS)
 Part 4: OSEK/VDX Communication (COM)
 Part 5: OSEK/VDX network management (NM)
 Part 6: OSEK/VDX implementation language (OIL)

Part 2:
OSEK/VDX specifications for binding OS, COM and NM
1 Scope
This part of ISO 17356 gives the OSEK/VDX specifications for binding the OS (operating system), COM
(communications) and NM (network management) of the open interface for embedded automotive
applications. Its purpose is to prevent divergences from those ISO 17356 specifications — given in
ISO 17356-3, ISO 17356-4 and ISO 17356-5 — by making it possible to refer to a single document. It
specifies the variables (error codes, status types, etc.) programmable by the user to ensure that
implementation of OS, COM and NM are coherent between each other.
