ABSTRACT:
A universal computer for a vehicle, comprising a microprocessor for the processing of control programs, a storage unit, for the data thus calculated and an interface which permits a connection of the computer to a databus in the vehicle. The computer comprises control programs for controlling device provided in the vehicle, whereby the control commands are transmitted to the device to be controlled via device interfaces. The computer also comprises reconfigurable hardware, which permits a retroactive reconfiguration of peripheral components or an interface in the assembled state of the computer. A transmission of an algorithm for reconfiguration of the hardware is provided to the storage unit on the vehicle, so that a process for reconfiguration of the hardware associated with the peripheral components or the interface may be carried out.
