Environmental quality, dependence on petroleum, the decline in auto sales and changing consumer requirements are driving fundamental changes at the auto makers. Just follow the money and you see investments in autonomy, shaving payrolls in ICE powertrain and electric vehicles on the mind of many governments. All of these changes are driving monumental changes to our vehicle network architectures. These changes require new toolsets and new approaches. Get a whirlwind tour of the Intrepid’s new software and vehicle networks tools to meet the challenge

In the days of J1850, one could easily log an entire month of data on a 512 MB memory card. With the advent of electric and hybrid vehicles, one could log an entire shift of data from a vehicle. Autonomous vehicles produce on the order of 5-10 Gb per second! That could fill your laptop in minutes! How do you deal with logging Terabytes of data? Are the days of “sneaker-net” back again? This presentation will provide a look into SerDes sensors, LIDAR, RADAR and autonomous architectures, and how to log data from these sensors/architectures.

Gathering data manually is labor intensive, and getting the vehicle in hand is a challenge. With the financial pressures to reduce a captive test fleet, this only amplifies the issues. Whether you have a large fleet or a small fleet, or remote test benches, we discuss the challenges of remote data capture and providing solutions to connect wirelessly to your vehicles.

Those familiar with Automotive Ethernet know that each connection has a “master” and “slave”, and this refers to how they link together. But few fully understand the process of PHY linking and what it can mean for you. This presentation will provide a full overview of the linking process.

The world does not revolve around Windows alone. If you are in autonomy or using ROS, or have been a lifelong Apple user, you have probably wished for a Vehicle Spy for Linux or macOS. Finally, your wishes are beginning to come true. Come get a sneak peak at Vehicle Spy X, the evolution of Vehicle Spy a true cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux, web) solution with a fully scriptable Python interface.

A customizable low-cost vehicle network interface is often desired in enabling various consumer and after-market applications. Those devices usually come in the form of an OBDII dongle, but the existing products on the market pose numerous limitations. There are only a few devices that support custom programming capability and even a fewer devices that allow in-software access to raw data across multiple types of vehicle networks. Even with the right hardware, addressing scalability, reliability, and security can be difficult when deploying connected vehicle solutions. Join us and learn how Intrepid’s neoOBD2 line of wireless interfaces, powered by rich set of AWS services, enables a cost-efficient and reliable way for you to quickly develop, deploy, and manage your own custom connected vehicle solutions.

“Fuzzing” is the process of sending large amounts of random or pseudo-random data on the bus to find potential vulnerabilities. Many cybersecurity trainees get their first exposure to Vehicle Spy by creating some function block scripts to fuzz on CAN or otherwise brute-force potential diagnostic requests. Vehicle Spy R3D is Intrepid’s first full-feature CAN fuzzing tool, implemented to perform OEM-level pen test/vuln testing functions. Get an overview of fuzzing, various techniques used in vulnerability testing, and the new automation for these tests in Vehicle Spy R3D. Future plans for Ethernet fuzzing will also be discussed.

Gain a clearer understanding of ARXML based network communications is critical for working on new generation vehicle architectures. Learn how to view, edit and analyze about AUTOSAR ARXML files for vehicle network communication (CAN/CANFD, LIN, Ethernet, FlexRay). Understand the differences between legacy networks (e.g. DBC, LDF files) and AUTOSAR based architectures for vehicle database matrix.

Many analog I/O solutions like to “entangle” you in their toolchain, leaving your pocketbook even lighter. They love to charge you extra for the isolation you need. What if we told you that you can have an open system and you can get it at a much lower price? See how the RAD IO 2 Open I/O solution provides channel-to-channel isolation at an affordable price.

Old test equipment and benches may not be compatible with your next generation. So what do you do when your dyno works with the old protocol but can’t support the new protocol? Can your testing support the massive data rates in contemporary vehicle networks? No worries! Use your neoVI as a high-performance embedded gateway. Make a stand-alone “translator”, “custom gateway”, decryption device, or filter. Translate between CAN and CAN FD, CAN and LIN, or even CAN and Ethernet!

Often our engineering efforts focus on getting all the potentially useful data. But that amounts to a huge “haystack” which we must sift through to find that “needle”. You need a 21st century solution, one that can automatically process the data and present reports to share throughout your organization. You need IPA and DataSpy. See an overview and demonstration of processing datasets of 1+ TB in just a few seconds.

Cybersecurity, gateways and other advanced solutions require more than Function Blocks and far faster performance. The neoVI Fire 2 and other Intrepid products have the capability to embed C Code directly into the neoVI. This provides HIL-like performance at a fraction of the cost. Take a tour of how you can write your own C code and target it into the neoVI Fire 2 series.

Vehicle Spy has the ability to control devices with a SCPI interface. Get a quick overview of how this is done, and how seamless you can integrate your control into Vehicle Spy. Leverage Vehicle Spy’s power with vehicle networks and perform sophisticated automated tests.
