White Paper: UDSLib Architecture
Safety-first UDS stack for embedded and automotive systems.
Overview
UDSLib is a portable ISO 14229-1 protocol stack designed for safety-critical environments where deterministic behavior and auditability matter.
1. Safety by Design
- Static memory model: zero runtime allocation.
- Caller-owned buffers: the application controls memory.
- Overflow protection: guards multi-packet reads (SID 0x22).
2. Deterministic Timing
- Tickless timers: P2/P2* use monotonic time to avoid drift.
- Non-blocking: state machine won’t stall your main loop.
- Async dispatch: NRC 0x78 handled automatically for long ops.
3. Safety Gates
- Application approval required for destructive services (Flash, Reset, Write).
- Vehicle-state awareness delegated to your app (you keep control).
4. Developer Ecosystem
- Wireshark dissector for readable UDS traces.
- Python bindings (`pyudslib`) for host-side tests.
- Zephyr guides for RTOS integration.
5. Verification
- Host-based tests included.
- Fuzzing against malformed packets.
- MISRA-aligned codebase.
