Abstract
Local interconnect network (LIN) is a communication protocol that has been established for automotive vehicles [Kopetz et al. 2003]. This protocol is based on the SCI (UART) data format with single master/multiple slave architecture. A consortium formed in 1998, comprising AUDI, BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Volvo, Volkswagen, VCT, and Motorola worked on establishing a specification for this protocol. The development of LIN was based on the necessity for a communication protocol that was very cost effective and not only addressed the issue of the specification for communication, but also other issues like signal transmission, programming, and interconnection of nodes. It basically takes an all-round approach for the development and consolidation of an automotive protocol.
