Case Study

Software Coding

Project Background:

This Marine system OEM shifted development responsibility from Japan to the US, embarking on it’s first US-based software/control system development.
With a small R&D team at the client, SCAEUS capabilities were needed to properly lead the production software release process and educate the client team.

Introduce new autonomous functionality in the Marine industry.
Develop the new Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and system control logic to bring new features into production.
Ensure the highest levels of quality to prevent warranty and field issues.
Build-up internal capabilities and know-how by growing the R&D team in the US.

Guide the OEM through Functional Safety (adapted ISO26262) and functional objective analysis, requirement setting, system design, code implementation & testing.
Provide the foundational software for ROS and CAN communication/interfacing with other ECUs.
Finalize the software specifications, system architecture, and module interaction.
Determination of the suitable system hardware, operating system, and middleware.
Implement and custom code the operating systems and middleware, as well as diagnostic services.
Implement logging functionality for safety and regulatory purposes, capturing all ROS and CAN communication in a quarriable format.
Release code to Gitlab, Use Jira in daily operation, track and drive project backlog.
Support HW supplier for integration testing and unit debugging.
Conduct integration testing and bug fixing with primary application running on ECU.
Construction, Programming, and Operation of HILS bench to confirm system functionality.

Software backlog depleted and successfully coded for all desired features and functionality of the system.
Quality software confirmed through component-level and vehicle level testing.
System ready for production.
