Automotive Development Capability Statement

 In the automotive field, Grey Innovation has in-house competencies in the following areas:

 

Automotive CAN systems

  • Extensive Vector CAN tool expertise covering CANoe, CANape products
  • CAPL programming language experience for CAN tool development
  • CANoe GUI interface development
  • CAN network simulation
  • Can Configuration Protocol (CCP) integration and product test suite development
  • Embedded CAN driver configuration (CANgen / CANbedded)
  • Physical layer hardware development (Philips TJA1054a low speed, PCA82C250 high speed drivers)

Automotive Software Product Development

  • Configuration of and development under the OSEK automotive real-time operating system

  • Significant experience with Body Computer and peripheral control unit system development, including passive entry systems, door modules, alarm and siren systems
  • Integration of product test interfaces for design validation, in-circuit, and end-of-line testing

Design Validation Test Systems

Grey Innovation has developed and sold Design Validation Test Systems for a variety of projects. These include:

  • Endurance test controllers for Door Approach (capacitive) Modules
  • Electronic Throttle Body PID controller systems

Grey Innovation has also supported their customer’s design validation testing with the following services:

  • Debugging and refinement of existing test systems, improving system reliability and overall quality of operation.
  • Development of software interfaces using CAN CCP and Key Word Protocol (KWP2000) for product test systems.-         
  • CAN driver development for functional improvements to existing systems (development of multi-threaded drivers for simultaneous multiple device access).

Production Test Systems

Grey  Innovation has developed and sold production test software products for In-Circuit and End Of Line Testing. These systems include:

  • Image recognition system for ABS System final check
  • In-circuit test systems for siren products, door modules, etc. The ICT systems perform various checks on each product and download production EEPROM data before shipment. Communication to the device under test is via serial, CAN (CCP and KWP2000), or direct to EEPROM pin via an IO card.
