OpenECU® is a comprehensive family of off-the-shelf rapid control prototyping ECUs and software designed to take your electronic controls innovations from prototyping to production. The philosophy behind OpenECU is the creation of modular, reusable technology that is implemented to volume production standards and is fully “open” to custom configuration, adaption and further development. Compare all OpenECU modules.
OpenECU Advantages
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Production-quality rugged embedded controls ECU hardware designed for under hood vehicle environments. | No concerns with reliability / quality issues. Same cost-effective proven reliable hardware can be used for R&D, rapid control prototyping, development, fleet trials and low to intermediate volume production. |
| OpenECU hardware is designed to be customizable. | Pi Innovo can provide custom solutions with proven validated hardware to meet customer’s unique requirements. If needs change during a program, Pi will work to support you. |
| Pi Innovo owns the designs and manufactures / will license the product. | Customers never have to worry about obsolescence or continuity of supply. |
| OpenECU has a mature software tool chain and is used by both Pi Innovo engineering and many customer’s engineering. | Engineers spend time developing applications, not dealing with software issues. |
| Truly open Simulink® application-independent model based development environment. | All Mathworks development tools can be used if desired. |
| Full support of Model Based Design and non-proprietary native Simulink block use in application layer. Applications are portable between ECUs. | OpenECU is ideal for prototype development and / or production. Can go to production with OpenECU or customer specific hardware. |
| Supports common calibration tools such as ATI Vision, ETAS INCA and Vector CANape via CCP as well as Pi Innovo calibration tool Pi Snoop. | No proprietary calibration tools required, you can use industry standard tools. |
| Pi Innovo engineering available to support portions / all of an application development project. | Pi Innovo – we work the way you want work. |
| Pi Innovo willing to sell / license IP and share knowledge with customers. | Pi Innovo is a long-term partner who offers you complete freedom. |
| Pi Innovo can utilize existing proven hardware or design custom hardware for you. | Pi Innovo has the skill and experience to meet your low volume or high volume production needs. |
