Research on Design and Implementation of Automotive ECUs Software Remote Update

Abstract

The automotive ECU, as a core component of automotive electronics, needs constant update to meet the performance requirements of the vehicle. Traditional methods, which rely on the professionals’ operations to update, cannot meet the development of vehicle network. The authors propose an automotive ECU remote update scheme in this paper. A remote download system that implements convenient and real-time automotive ECU updates is built in this paper. The system takes the mobile phone as an intermediary to communicate between the remote server and the onboard platform. Finally, the feasibility of the scheme is verified via experiments.
