Abstract
A SDK (Software Development Kit) to test, develop or improve safety-critical systems is presented. The SDK has three main modules: voter, saboteur and sniffer. The voter can be configured as “m out of n” where m and n can be any number but always n > m, each redundant channel uses a microcontroller as a main system. The saboteur examines the information that goes through the information interchange path, altering it and generating faulty data, modification of the evaluation hardware is minimized by using saboteurs in the communication between elements. The sniffer can display the data that passes over a network, it can be configured to handle three different protocols UART, CAN or TCP/IP.
