Microcontroller Porting for New Generation Steering Column Control Module for an Industry Leader
Microcontroller Porting for New Generation Steering Column Control Module for an Industry Leader
Business Overview
The client is renowned for its cutting-edge electronic and electro-mechanical products for different industries, with a major focus on the automotive domain. They sought our assistance to undertake the project of transitioning from their current microcontroller to a new one. Our team of experts successfully incorporated all modifications that emerged from this migration process in a seamless manner.
Challenge
The challenge arose from the modification of the microcontroller, necessitating the client to assimilate all the changes resulting from this porting process. This included the demanding tasks of configuring, validating, and auto code generation of numerous modules of the AUTOSAR Layers.
Solution
The automotive steering column serves as a crucial component designed to establish a connection between the steering wheel and the steering mechanism. Its main purpose is to facilitate the transmission of the driver’s rotational input from the steering wheel to the steering system. The steering column control module takes on the responsibility of managing the switches located either “on” the steering wheel itself or positioned “around” or “below” it. This module plays a pivotal role in controlling these switches, enhancing the driver’s interaction with the vehicle’s various functions.
The scope of the project involved the porting from Infineon’s – 100 pin microcontroller to 80 pin microcontroller. We started off with the in depth analysis of the existing configuration.
The project involved the following phases:
- Planning and requirement analysis
- Configuration, Validation and Auto code generation of relevant modules
- Update AUTOSAR Interfaces to application components
- Generation and maintenance of RTE interfaces
- Integrate Auto-generated code to the existing software workspace
Value Delivered
With our expertise and well-established execution strategy, we were able to successfully handle the software scope of the project, tailoring the solution as per the client requirements. This case showcases our commitment to delivering solutions that combine innovation, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
