Eclipse OpenSOVD

Eclipse OpenSOVD provides an open source implementation of the Service-Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics (SOVD) standard, as defined in ISO 17978. The project delivers a modular, standards-compliant software stack that enables secure and efficient access to vehicle diagnostics over service-oriented architectures. By offering an open and community-driven implementation, Eclipse OpenSOVD serves as a foundation for developers, OEMs, and tool vendors to build, test, and integrate SOVD-based solutions. The project will hence facilitate adoption and ensure industry coherence with the standard.

Eclipse OpenSOVD complements and integrates the Eclipse S-CORE project by providing an open implementation of the SOVD protocol that can be used for diagnostics and service orchestration within the S-CORE environment. This integration ensures that diagnostic capabilities are natively supported in SDV architectures, enabling developers and OEMs to build more robust, maintainable, and standards-compliant vehicle software stacks.

Key components include:

• SOVD Gateway: REST/HTTP API endpoints for diagnostics, logging, and software updates.
• Protocol Adapters: Bridging modern HPCs (e.g., AUTOSAR Adaptive) and legacy ECUs (e.g., UDS-based systems).
• Diagnostic Manager: Service orchestration for fault reset, parameter adjustments, and bulk data transfers.

Future-Proofing:

• Semantic Interoperability: JSON schema extensions for machine-readable diagnostics, enabling AI-driven analysis and cross-domain workflows.
• Edge AI/ML Readiness: Modular design to support lightweight ML models (e.g., predictive fault detection) via collaboration with projects like Eclipse Edge Native.
• Support for Extended Vehicle logging and publish/subscribe mechanisms.
