Android Application for Automotive Control Units

 

Introduction:

Access to the in-Car network from a smart phone creates an innovative platform to create various applications to control and analyze automotive control unit functionalities. Embitel created such a platform by developing a Bluetooth gateway which can transmit/receive information to/from CAN and LIN networks in the vehicle.

 

System Overview:
  • Android based smart phone application to interface body control units over Bluetooth interface
  • Design and development of Android application, firmware for body control modules and Bluetooth interface
  • Android application supports configuration, flashing and monitoring of the control unit functionalities
  • Integrated Arduino Bluetooth with the control unit hardware over SPI interface
  • Integrated Amarino Bluetooth stack with control unit firmware
  • Design and development of CAN and LIN stacks to network body control modules
  • Implemented CAN/LIN gateway to support flashing the slave ECUs over LIN
  • Boot loader to support re-flashing the control units
  • Encryption/Decryption and seed-key algorithm to ensure data security and data integrity
