I read this twice, it sounds like I should understand it, but I do not.

Is it for real, is it gibberish, have I had another TIA?

Infotainment?

What's not to understand Robin? ECU programming is so simple that my two year old Grandson can do it !

One wonders if even the people writing it know what all the acronyms mean.

It frustrates me when people refer to programming the motor drive in the electric motorbike I'm working on, as programming an ECU. It is not an ECU (it's an FPGA) - the whole point is that we have a motor, not an engine!

This is the TLA culture, I remember reading an IBM technical manual in the eighties. It gave the meaning by using the full words on first appearance, after that the acronym was used. It went from heavy to unreadable in one page. There was no glossary of acronyms.

TTFN,

** TLA = Three Letter Acronym

I used to work for Digital, back when they still existed, and that was also a hotbed of TLAs. In the end, they ran out of TLAs and moved to ETLAs - Extended TLAs...

FPGA I can understand, I had a protracted love affair with the 22V10
