ISO DIS 22900-2

Description / Abstract: This part of ISO 22900 specifies the diagnostic protocol data unit application programming interface (D-PDU API) as a modular vehicle communication interface (MVCI) protocol module software interface and common basis for diagnostic and reprogramming software applications.

This part of ISO 22900 covers the descriptions of the application programming interface (API) functions and the abstraction of diagnostic protocols, as well as the handling and description of MVCI protocol module features. Sample MVCI module description files accompany this part of ISO 22900.

The purpose of this part of ISO 22900 is to ensure that diagnostic and reprogramming applications from any vehicle or tool manufacturer can operate on a common software interface, and can easily exchange MVCI protocol module implementations.
