Abstract
The Bootloader based on the UDS protocol is the most commonly used for the software update in automobiles. The Bootloader needs to be fully tested to ensure it running Steadily on vehicle. This paper takes the CAN bus as an example, analyzes the relevant protocols of Bootloader, summarizes the testing requirements of Bootloader, and then develops an automated testing system. Moreover, this system has the characteristics of high automation, easy configuration, and strong readability of the test report.
