Set VCOM ConfigurationAdd
Ethernet as function module. Once it is done, add
Automotive Ethernet under the Ethernet module. See Figure 1.
Figure 1.
Adding Automotive Ethernet to the configurationAdd a Hardware Port to the configuration. See Figure 2.
Figure 2.
Adding hardware port to the configurationCluster Name, Network Descriptor, and Device name are mandatory. See Figure 3.
Figure 3.
Hardware port configurationThe cluster name can be found in the ARXML file through
WebUI Home Page which is installed automatically with the VCOM toolkit. See Figure 4. The network descriptor is the AUTOSAR XML file to be used. The device name is the same hardware port name as the one displayed in NI MAX, such as "
ENET1".
Figure 4.
Cluster name in WebUIOnce the hardware port is configured, you can add a Channel under it. You have to use the same channel name as the one defined in the ARXML file. See Figure 5 and Figure 6.
Figure 5.
Adding a channel to the configuration
Figure 6.
Channel name in WebUIOnce the channel is configured, you can add all or part of the ECUs under this channel. If you don't add any ECUs under the channel, the VCOM will add all the ECUs by default. When you add part of the ECUs, the ECU name should be the same as the one written in the ARXML file. See Figure 7 and Figure 8.

Adding ECUs to the configurationOnce the port is configured, you have to add 3 peers to it. See Figure 9.
Figure 9.
Adding 3 peers to the configurationOnce the VCOM configuration file is configured, you can save and close it. A dialog will be opened automatically and you can add the services as you want. See Figure 10.
Figure 10.
Adding services to VeriStand treeOnce we set channel level TX_enable, ECU node level TX_enable, and frame level TX_enable of ProvidedServices to 1, we can see the ECU node that provides services offers services through SOME/IP Service Discovery. See Figure 11. To decode the traffic to SOME/IP, you can right-click one frame and select Decode As..., then choose SOME/IP in the drop-down list of Current. See Figure 12.
Figure 11.
Offer Services through SOME/IP-SD in Wireshark
Figure 12.
Wireshark configuration for decoding SOME/IPOnce we set channel level TX_enable, ECU node level TX_enable, and frame level TX_enable of ConsumedServices to 1, we can see the ECU node that consumes services subscribes services and the ECU node that provides services acknowledges subscription through SOME/IP Service Discovery. See Figure 13.

Subscribe and SubscribeAck through SOME/IP-SD in WiresharkAfter the subscription is successful, you can set signal level TX_enable to 1 to start the SOME/IP test. Finally, the Automotive Ethernet traffic looks like the following one.
