[FlexRay]_Do I need to do the Conformance Test for my ECU?

[ndk]

Dear all,

I'm using MPC5517G in my ECU and my Application is FlexRay based. So, I'm curious about ..

Do I have to do the Data link layer and Physical layer conformance test and get certified from the official conformance test partners or.. the semiconductor vendors like Freescale (for controllers) and NXP does this work..????

If it is the case 2nd case, where the semiconductor vendors get the conformance test certification..then I dont need to do the Conformance test again..? Of-course, I think it is very good to do all those tests by me to confirm my ECU regarding FlexRay areas, but I just wonder is it mandatory for the ECU manufacturer ..? 

thank you

Hii

I got the solution from Freescale Technical request.

The conformance tests are only required for semiconductor devices, not
for ECUs.

The conformance test is ordered by the semiconductor manufacturer (the
microcontroller manufacturer and the bus driver manufacturer). The
certificate of the conformance test is then available. Please see the
certificate for the MPC551x:
http://www.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/rel_qual_info/MPC551XQI.pdf or
the links to all other certificates which can be found on this web page:
www.freescale.com/flexray

You have NOT to do the conformance test again. In fact, the conformance
test is defined for a single device (a chip), not for an ECU. If our
customer needs the certificate, they can download it for the Freescale
web page.

yeah, thank you~
