Path of following Coldstart Node (responding to leading Coldstart Node)
When a coldstart node enters the “COLDSTART_LISTEN” state, it tries to receive a valid
pair of startup Frames to derive its schedule and clock correction from the leading
coldstart node.
As soon as a valid Startup Frame has been received the “INITIALIZE_SCHEDULE” state
is entered. If the clock synchronization can successfully receive a matching second valid
Startup Frame and can derive a schedule from this startup Frames, the
“INTEGRATION_COLDSTART_CHECK” state is entered.
In “INTEGRATION_COLDSTART_CHECK” state it is assured that the clock correction
can be performed correctly and that the coldstart node from which this node has
initialized its schedule is still available. The node collects all SYNC Frames and performs
clock correction in the following double-cycle. If clock correction does not signal any
errors and if the node continues to receive sufficient Frames from the same node it has
integrated on, the “COLDSTART_JOIN” state is entered.
In “COLDSTART_JOIN” state integrating coldstart nodes begin to transmit their own
startup Frames. Thereby the node that initiated the coldstart and the nodes joining it can
check if their schedules agree to each other. If for the following three cycles the clock
correction does not signal errors and at least one other coldstart node is visible, the node
leaves “COLDSTART_JOIN” state and enters “NORMAL_ACTIVE” state. Thereby it
leaves “STARTUP” at least one cycle after the node that initiated the coldstart.
Path of Non-coldstart Node
When a non-coldstart node enters the INTEGRATION_LISTEN state, it listens to its
attached channels and tries to receive FlexRay™ Frames.
As soon as a valid Startup Frame has been received the “INITIALIZE_SCHEDULE” state
is entered. If the clock synchronization can successfully receive a matching second valid
Startup Frame and derive a schedule from this, the INTEGRATION_CONSISTENCY_
CHECK state is entered.
In “INTEGRATION_CONSISTENCY_CHECK” state it is verified that the clock correction
can be performed correctly and that enough coldstart nodes (at least 2) send startup
Frames that agree to the nodes own schedule. Clock correction is activated, and if any
errors are signalled, the integration attempt is aborted.
During the first even cycle in this state, either two valid startup Frames or the Startup
Frame of the node that this node has integrated on must be received; otherwise the node
aborts the integration attempt.
During the first double-cycle in this state, either two valid Startup Frame pairs or the
Startup Frame pair of the node that this node has integrated on must be received;
otherwise the node aborts the integration attempt.
