5. Soc Basic Software

The SOC software system of the computing platform is customized for the autonomous driving
system. A typical framework of an autonomous driving system is shown below. The SoC
software system of EAORA07 consists of RTOS and Runtime Framework. RTOS is a Linux
operating system. Runtime Framework is ROS (Robot Operating System) Melodic.
Linux is a bridge connecting the hardware and the users, providing functions such as Process
Management, Memory Management, File System, Network, Security, User Interface, and
Device Drivers. Users can enter commands through the user interface of the operating system.
The operating system interprets the commands, drives the hardware devices, and implements
user requirements. ROS provides some standard operating system services, such as Hardware
Abstraction, Low-Level Device Control, Inter-Process Messaging, and Message Packet
Management. ROS is built on a graph architecture, various nodes can publish, subscribe and
aggregate all kinds of information, e.g. sensing, control, status, planning.
The software architecture of the MCU inside EAORA07 is designed according to AUTOSAR,
which is divided into Application Software Layer and Basic Software Layer. Basic Software Layer
consists of a microcontroller abstraction layer, an ECU abstraction layer, a service layer, and a
complex driver. Application software and basic software are connected and integrated through
EcoCoder. EcoCoder encapsulates the low-level software interfaces into the Simulink library via
11 of 21

s-functions. Application developers can use Simulink to build the model and generate
executable program files for TC397 via Simulink by just one click.
The basic software interfaces that EcoCoder encapsulates can read digital and analog input
signals, control high and low side outputs, support .dbc file interpretation, implement CCP and
UDS protocols, and define the measurement, calibration and NVM variables. MCU application
development is implemented with the calibration software EcoCAL and the flashing software
EcoFlash.

7. Development Tool
The software architecture of the MCU in this dual-Orin computing platform is designed with
reference to the AUTOSAR architecture standard and is divided into an application software layer
and a basic software layer. Among them, the basic software layer is divided into microcontroller
abstraction layer, ECU abstraction layer, service layer and complex driver. Application layer
software and basic software are connected and integrated through EcoCoder. EcoCoder uses the
s-function in Simulink to encapsulate the lower-level interface into the Simulink module library.
Application developers can use Simulink to build application layer models and generate
executable program files adapted to TC397 through Simulink with just one click.
7.1 EcoCoder-AI
EcoCoder-AI is a powerful automatic code generation library based on Matlab / Simulink that
links directly to the target controller. EcoCoder-AI integrates code generation, compilation and
one-click generation of executable files. In addition, the control model based on Simulink can

United States
be directly converted into an ROS-based executable program suitable for the target controller
and downloaded to the target controller. For details, please refer to EcoCoder-AI Manual.
7.2 EcoCoder
EcoCoder is an application development tool for the control system, which makes it easier for
users to develop embedded application software in the Simulink environment. It expands the
resources of Simulink and Real-Time Workshop embedded encoders to generate the necessary
code module and automatically configures and optimizes code generation. By encapsulating the
low-level software library to s-functions, EcoCoder allows developers to use low-level software
interfaces by model-based-design method and configure basic parameters. It can generate
executable files and data description files with one click and provide .a2l file address update
tool.
Features:
• Users develop embedded application software in the Simulink environment.

• Application developers can focus on control strategy development without knowing all
the information about hardware.
• By encapsulating the low-level software library to s-functions, EcoCoder enables
developers to use the low-level software interfaces and configure parameters using the
model-based-design method.

United States
• Executable file and data description file can be generated by one click, and an .a2l file
address update tool is provided. During the generation, the code generated by the model
is integrated with the low-level software automatically in the background, then makefile
is used to call the compiler to generate executables.
After compilation of the model, use the shortcut “Ctrl + B” or click the button shown below, the
flash-able file will be generated.

Developers can use EcoCoder to develop application software for MCU in EAORA04. Please
refer to EcoCoder User Manual.
7.3 EcoCAL
EcoCAL is a PC-side calibration software based on the CCP protocol. By loading .a2l and .hex
files, to achieve real-time observation and online calibration. It can assist control strategy
development engineers to debug and calibrate application software. Please refer to EcoCAL
User Manual for more details.

7.4 EcoFlash
EcoFlash is PC-side software working with BootLoader to flash target program files. It uses CAN
communication protocol CCP/UDS, and support.s19, .mot and .hex files.

8. Installation Requirements
It is recommended to install the ADCU in the cockpit. If the OEM wants to assemble the ADCU
in another location, the corresponding installation location should be evaluated by Ecotron’s
engineers and the OEM’s engineers.
The precautions for ADCU installation are as follows：
1. The installation of ADCU and wiring harness should be firm and reliable, and there should
be no looseness. Avoid supporting the wiring harness by ADCU. At the same time, the
arrangement of ADCU wiring harness should prevent and protect all wires in the wiring
harness from damage due to wear and overheating.
2. Try to avoid installing in places where dust is easy to gather, a large amount of dust
accumulation will affect the reliability of ADCU work.
3. ADCU should keep away from the location where the temperature of the shell itself may
exceed -15~70°C. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the surrounding parts from
releasing heat to the ADCU.
4. Avoid installing the ADCU in locations where oil, moisture, and water droplets are likely to
splash on it.
5. Avoid the possibility of additional mechanical shock and external impact due to the
19 of 21

United States
installation position and fixing method of the ADCU and avoid installing the ADCU at the
resonance point of the car body.
6. Avoid installing the ADCU where it may come into contact with the battery or other parts
that are prone to seepage of acid and alkaline solutions, and near the ADCU power
terminal.
7. Avoid installing the ADCU where it may come into contact with the positive terminal of
Battery and the ignition power terminal.
8. ADCU should be installed in the horizontal and vertical position according to the connector
downwards and maintain a certain angle to prevent water from entering the connector. In
the horizontal direction, the recommended installation angle is -170° to -10°, as shown in
Figure below. In the vertical direction, the recommended installation angle is -170°~ -10°, as
shown in Figure below.

X Y Axes: Horizontal Direction

Figure: Vertical Installation Angle
Ecotron recommends using the 4 installation points on the ADCU for installation and fixation. It
is recommended to use metal materials such as aluminum alloy for the mounting bracket, and
the housing should have a reliable electrical connection with the vehicle body through the
bracket. If other materials are used, the customer must ensure that it can meet the
requirements of ADCU for vibration, heat dissipation, temperature, EMC, etc. If there is any
deviation, it needs to be confirmed with Ecotron.
9. High-speed signal lines such as harness installation, network cables, video cables, etc.
should keep away from areas of high voltage, radiation interference such as motors, battery
packs, DCDCs as far as possible.
