Business Context
The project encompassed such digital automotive dimensions as a home screen with widgets, the integration of a visual framework navigation engine, the integration of a voice recognition engine, a parking assistant, and a cluster-based instrument UI.
Project overview
Andersen was quick to assemble a team and start working on a 3-year-long digital cockpit development project, ensuring full compliance with industry standards at each phase.
Other:
Jira, ARM based, Linux, Integrity OS (Green Hills)
Challenges
Andersen's team was hired to develop part of the software content for a multi-display automotive digital cockpit used by one of the largest European OEMs. This included creating a visual framework using Qt/QML, integrating 3rd-party navigation and voice recognition engines, developing parking assistance (rearview cameras and 360-view), and developing 3D content for the digital instrument cluster meeting ASIL B standards. Andersen's team also participated in adapting the Qt engine for use with the Integrity operating system to cover 3D and safety-related functions. This involved building safety verification mechanisms (CRC) based on specific safety goals and making corrections during FMEA analysis. The visual framework created by our specialists includes styling mechanisms to support all 21 vehicle models produced by the OEM.
Solution
Andersen's digital cockpit development efforts resulted in:
- A digital cockpit solution architecture and subsystem specifications;
- Customer requirement tracing integrated using Rational DOORS;
- A SAFe Agile project execution methodology with suppliers and customers;
- The initial setup for Linux and Integrity on an ARM-based CPU, including peripheral support;
- A visual framework using Qt/QML to facilitate UI development for both safety and non-safety domains;
- A continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) system with automatic software bundle compilation and test automation support;
- A full-cycle of Functional Safety (FuSa) analysis for safety-critical content, which included defining Safety Goals, Items, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Technical Safety Requirements;
- Safety mechanisms for Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) B-rated functionality;
- Fully implemented multimedia, vehicle, and digital connectivity settings applications;
- A home screen application with multi-brand support to handle all customer vehicle models;
- Digital Cluster content implemented using Qt3DStudio tools;
- An integrated time-critical and legislative functionality for Rear View Camera (RVC), 360-view capabilities, and telltale indications.
