Abstract
A system and method for testing and calibrating a control unit including a microcontroller includes an influencing device and an adaptation unit. The adaptation unit includes a memory that can store at least part of a data of a data communication between the influencing device and the control unit. The memory can be read from and/or written to by the microcontroller of the control unit when the control unit is in an on state.

14. A method for operating a test system having a control unit and an influencing device connected to the control unit via a data link and used for influencing the control unit, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing an external memory that is accessible by the control unit as its own memory; providing protocol data on a debug channel; providing at least one of first control data, first payload data, and first instructions on at least one of the data link between the control unit and the influencing device and a data link between an adaptation unit and the influencing device; establishing a communication between the external memory and the influencing device using at least one of communication protocol data of the control unit and communication protocol data which corresponds to communication protocol data of the control unit; writing at least one of second control data, second payload data, and second instructions for the control unit from the influencing device into the external memory; starting the control unit while reading the external memory; and transferring the communication to the control unit and the influencing device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
