The question about the OffChip communication actually brought up again my confusion about ports and their port type being "initiator" vs "responder" again.

Lets say I have 2 ECUs (EcuA & EcuB) connected over a CAN-ConnectionHandler Can0, should each ECU have actually then 2 ports to the Can0, one port as "initiator" and one port as "responder"? Like, I want to send something from EcuA to EcuB and wait for EcuB to send a response back to EcuA? Or does "_undefined_" mean it is both, or is there just the "both" missing in the port type?

Hi,

Currently we model it with two ports, one initator and one responder port per ECU.

We will discuss if we add an additional option like "bidirectional" or "both" to the Amalthea hardware model.

Thanks for your question.

Thanks, I was just asking also in case the simulation/analysis tools are aware of them. Like if it is _undefined_ it could be both receiving or transmitting something, but if it is e,g, set to initiator, it will never receive something and certain task/runnable will be blocked for ever waiting on a never happening ChannelRead or such.
