About OSS-ECAL
The OSS-ECAL(called ˈiː kæl) site is a platform to support embedded engineers.
Software compatible with electronic components is a completely non-competitive area of software for embedded products because the functions of electronic components are predetermined, so there is no need to develop new software for each product. In addition, product manufacturers are increasingly requesting electronic component manufacturers to provide software that is compatible with their electronic components.
OSS-ECAL stands for Open-Source Software for Electronic Components Abstraction Layer. OSS-ECAL is a software layer aimed at improving the efficiency and usability of software development for electronic components, and provides software interfaces tailored to the characteristics of electronic components. To learn more, please refer to the Introduction.
OSS-ECAL does not conform to the AUTOSAR standard, nor does it use this standard.Also, please note that we do not plan to support MCAL in the official version of OSS-ECAL.
OSS-ECAL adapts to the SDV era
With the recent development of SDV (Software Defined Vehicle), which is a hot topic, ECU architecture is shifting from domain architecture to edge architecture, zone architecture, and combined edge & zone architecture. OSS-ECAL is an OSS suitable for porting sensors, actuators, external memory, and other components associated with architectural changes.
When sensors and actuators are moved between ECUs, portability of the corresponding software becomes a major issue. OSS-ECAL solves this issue and enables a smooth transition.
OSS-ECAL is a proprietary OSS that has nothing to do with AUTOSAR.
Embedded Wiki and Know-how
This site introduces technical information (Wiki & Know-how) on embedded software. However, these Wikis & Know-How are provided based on the author’s experience and do not necessarily correspond to the respective standards or MCU manuals. Please use them as reference materials.
We strive to provide embedded engineers with content that they can understand in a short amount of time, even in their busy daily lives.
