Method for controlling an operating mechanism and a manipulation unit
First Claim
1. A method for controlling an electronic control unit by means of a manipulation unit, in which the electronic control unit includes at least one microcontroller, at least one memory with a plurality of memory cells and at least one first value in a first memory cell and at least one debug interface, and the debug interface exhibits a monitoring functionality for monitoring a program code executed by the electronic control unit, the method comprisingdetecting, by using the debug interface, a first pre-set timepoint when processing the program code,transmitting, by the debug interface, information comprising the first timepoint to the manipulation unit,generating a trigger timepoint for a processing routine, andwriting, by the manipulation unit using the debug interface, a second value generated by using the processing routine at a second timepoint into the first memory cell of the first memory before the first memory cell of the first memory is read by the electronic control unit at a third timepoint.

Abstract
A method for controlling an operating mechanism using a manipulation unit, in which the operating mechanism includes at least one microcontroller, at least one memory with a plurality of memory cells and at least one first value in a first memory cell and at least one debug interface, and the debug interface exhibits a monitoring functionality for monitoring a program code executed by the operating mechanism and using the debug interface a first pre-set timepoint is detected when processing the program code and, using the information transmitted by the debug interface for the first timepoint to the manipulation unit, a trigger timepoint results for a processing routine through the manipulation unit (IN) and a second value is written using the debug interface by the manipulation unit using the processing routine for a second timepoint in the first memory cell before the first memory cell is read by the operating mechanism for a third timepoint.
