This is a Quality Assured Release.

Refer to the Changelog for details.

The compiled HTML documentation can be found in the SilKit-Documentation subdirectory in all SilKit-VERSION-PLATFORM-ARCHITECTURE-TOOLSET.zip archives.

Changed

  • Important SilKit_LinDataLengthUnknown in the C header Lin.h used to be a const global, which could cause linker issues if the header file is used in multiple translation units in the same binary.

    It has been turned into a #define, like all the other constants in the C header files.

    The symbol was not present in the dynamic symbol table of the SilKit.dll / .so, so this change does not break the ABI of the shared libraries.

  • Aligned C API error return codes SilKit_ReturnCode_<ERRORTYPE> and SIL Kit specific exceptions.
    All exceptions are now forwarded through the hourglass and thrown in the C++ API.
    For users of the C API, a more detailed error handling is possible with the extended error return codes.

    Before, all execptions ended up as SilKitError on the user side.

  • Overhaul of SIL Kit demos

    • Restructured into categories communication, api and tools

    • Communication demos: Can, Ethernet, Lin, Flexray, PubSub and Rpc demos

      • These demos are split into one participant per executable
      • Basic SIL Kit features are implemented in a base class used by the demos
      • No command line arguments needed for basic execution (with time synchronization and coordinated start)
      • Useful command line arguments are provided for all demos (e.g. rename the participant or network, logging, execution modes)
      • The old --async mode of the demos now is accessible by --async --autonomous (or short form -aA)

Added

  • New demos for basic API usage

    • SimpleCan
    • Orchestration demos
  • Demos: Sample participant configurations

Fixed

  • Registry: Block all attempts to connect with an already present participant name, not just the first.

  • CMake: When demos are installed into the bin directory under the installation prefix, their RPATH will be set such that they are able to find the libSilKit[d].so. This is the same RPATH value as the utility executables.

  • System Monitor: Show all participants, not just the ones that joined during the monitors execution.
