Setting up Open SOME/IP Specification Submodule¶

Overview¶

The Open SOME/IP Specification is included as a git submodule to ensure the implementation stays synchronized with the official specification.

Setup Instructions¶

Remove the current directory (if it exists):
```
rm -rf open-someip-spec/
```

Add the submodule:

git submodule add https://github.com/some-ip-com/open-someip-spec.git open-someip-spec

Initialize and update:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Verify:
```
ls -la open-someip-spec/
```

Usage¶

The specification documents are now available at open-someip-spec/src/ and can be referenced in:

Traceability matrices
Documentation
Compliance verification
Implementation validation

Updating the Submodule¶

To update to the latest specification version:

git submodule update --remote

Repository Structure¶

open-someip-spec/
├── src/                    # Specification documents (RST format)
│   ├── someip-rpc.rst     # Core SOME/IP RPC specification

├── scripts/               # Utility scripts

Integration with Build System¶

The submodule is automatically included in the build process for:

Documentation generation
Requirement traceability
Compliance checking
Specification validation

Maintenance¶

Regular Updates: Update the submodule quarterly to stay current
Breaking Changes: Monitor for specification changes that affect implementation
Contributions: Specification contributions should be made upstream
