  • MSC(Multi-Spectral Camera) system is a remote sensing instrument to obtain high resolution ground image. MSC system includes main control unit, called SBC(Single Board Computer). SBC controls all the sub-units of MSC system and communicates with spacecraft bus. The software developed for SBC should be reliable and autonomous to support various kinds of imaging missions. It is being developed using VxWorks real-time operating system to manage all tasks for all units efficiently. In this paper, the characteristics of the embedded software on the MSC system will be presented. It covers the hardware related characteristics like the BSP(Board Support Package), device driver and code patch mechanism.

  • Now the CAN(controller Area Network) is using electronic modules as a serial communication which is very robust to noise. Especially the CAN is using for automotive part that very popular in which automotive electronic control module, engine controller unit, sensor modules, etc. but the CAN has the order of priority to linking node and also has fault confinement so using in these features that is applied to in factory automation product line. The CAN communication is basically very robust to electric noise so varied applying to others part. In this paper, we suggest to CAN interface for embedded system that is possible for error detection using two CAN nodes on Hi-speed, full-CAN.

  • In this paper, we present a proposed monitoring system for smart factories with several aspects, including information gathering, analysis, control, and display that relate to concurrently operation processes in the factory area. This paper proposes a monitoring and management system for industrial automation. In particular, it uses an Internet of Thing (IoT) device with a data protocol unit to convert the industrial protocols and transfer the information on various parameters. In the case of data communication, the proposed monitoring system is designed to support users to remotely manage with the cloud server by implementing conversion between Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP of protocol communications. The proposed communication technique has been verified by experiments.

  • ZigBee is the emerging industrial standard for ad hoc networks based on IEEE 802.15.4. It is used for low data rate and low power wireless network applications. Expected applications of ZigBee include wireless sensor networks for remote monitoring, home control, and industrial automation. Since one of the most important design goals of ZigBee is to reduce the installation and running costs, the ZigBee stack is embedded in the cheap and small micro-controller unit. The hierarchical routing algorithm is used for ZigBee end devices which have very limited resources. Using the block addressing scheme, end devices can send data to the destination without a routing table. However, hierarchical routing has the problem that the packets follow the tree hierarchy to the destination even if the destination is located nearby. In this paper, we propose a scheme to improve the hierarchical routing algorithm in ZigBee networks by employing the neighbor table that is originally used together with the routing table. We suggest selecting the neighbor node that has the minimum remaining hops to the destination as the next hop node. Simulation result shows that the proposed scheme saves more than 30% of the hop counts compared with the original hierarchical routing.

  • An AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture (AUTOSAR) is a de-facto standardized software platform, which developed for an automotive Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in global automotive industry. AUTOSAR improves the reusability and the scalability, thus the software development can be easier, faster and more reliable. However, it requires a lot of time and efforts to develop an AUTOSAR software due to the difficulties of understanding of massive AUTOSAR documentations and complicated usage of AUTOSAR design tools. AUTOSAR training is offered by AUTOSAR design tool venders but it is limited to introduction of their simplified concept and usages based on PC. Therefore the training is not enough for industrial developers or graduate students. In this paper we present an AUTOSAR starter kit which allows industrial engineers and graduate students to practice the detailed process of AUTOSAR software development easily and more conveniently. The kit is composed of a practical environment similar to actual automotive system and a textbook that explains how to design AUTOSAR software. And we demonstrated the validity of our methodology based on a case study.

  • This paper proposes the method of an in-vehicle gateway to reduce the reprogramming time for the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). In order to reduce the reprogramming time, the gateway must prohibit transmitting messages, that are not related to reprogramming, to the destination CAN network, and no ECU should diagnose the DTC(Diagnostic Trouble Code) that indicates CAN communication error caused by prohibiting CAN messages by the gateway. Moreover, STmin, which are the minimum time between two consecutive CAN messages, should be minimized. In order to do this, this paper proposes the method that uses the link control command specified in UDS(Unified Diagnostic Services) and hardware based gateway functionality that are supported by the latest MCU(Micro Controller Unit). The proposed method is developed using TC275 based embedded system, and its results are presented.

  • This paper presents the remote measurement of the ECU signals adopted with KWP 2000 protocol using the wireless communication technique of bluetooth. The bluetooth technology will be the most promising network paradigm which can open the new area in the information technology. Especially, bluetooth module is able to link all the electrical products and personal computers to cellular phone or PDA. This research has a try to design a wireless measurement model of ECU signal based on the car telemery system using bluetooth device. In order to measure the ECU signals, we designed the interface circuits which is able to communicate between the ECU system and the terminal circuits according to the ISO, SAE regulation of communication protocol standard. A microprocessor S3c341 OX is used for the system control and communication of ECU signals. The embedded system software is programmed to measure the ECU signals using the ARM compiler and ANCI C based on Micro/OS-II kernel to communicate between two bluetooth modules using bluetooth stack. The remote measurement of ECU signals using the bluetooth was designed and implemented to evaluate the performance of wireless network to the transmit measurement data. The possibility for the remote measurement of the self diagnosis signals of ECU adopted with KWP2000 protocol verified through the developed systems and algorithms in embedded system.

  • Since 2016 when the regulations related to vehicle structure and device modification were drastically revised, the car tuning market has been growing rapidly. Particularly, many drivers are showing interest in changing the interior and exterior according to their preference, or improving the specifications of their cars by changing the engine and powertrain, among others. Also, as the initial engine settings such as horse power and torque of the vehicle are made for stable driving of the vehicle, it is possible to change the engine performance, via Engine Control Unit (ECU) mapping, to the driver's preference. However, traditionally, ECU mapping could be only performed by professional car engineers and the settings were also decided by them. Therefore, this study proposed a system that collects data related to the driver's driving habits for a certain period and sends them to a cloud server in order to analyze them and recommend ECU mapping values. The traditional mapping method only aimed to improve the car's performance and, therefore, if the changes were not compatible with the driver's driving habits, could cause problems such as incomplete combustion or low fuel efficiency. However, the proposed system allows drivers to set legally permitted ECU mapping based on analysis of their driving habits, and, therefore, different drivers can set it differently according to the vehicle specifications and driving habits. As a result, the system can optimize the car performance by improving output, fuel efficiency, etc. within the range that is legally permitted.
