API
This document describes the user available programming interfaces of the Vector SIL Kit (SIL Kit). If you are not yet familiar with the SIL Kit, have a look at the Developers Guide.
API Entry Point and API Organization
The Participant constitutes the main entry point into the SIL Kit API.
Services
The services API includes common data types, supports various vehicular networks, and provides generic publish/subscribe and RPC facilities.
Vehicle Network Controller
Several different vehicular networks are supported by corresponding controller interfaces.
Data Publish/Subscribe and RPC
These services do not model a real-world bus and can be used for generic programming and interoperability tasks.
SIL Kit provides a recommended default serialization/deserialization API for Data Publish/Subscribe and RPC:
State Handling and Synchronization
The following services provide time synchronization and orchestrated state management.
Common Data Types
C API
The SIL Kit provides an additional API that allows to use the SIL Kit directly with the C programming language:
