Customer Requirements

Advantages

Disadvantages

Pricing Model

Box

Interface external box

Optional OBDII Y-Cable

On-board computer (OBC) with
RS-232 Serial Port

Software to read/write to serial
port

Quickest time to market

No hardware modification required to
the OBC

Automatic updates to new units

Most expensive solution

Two cables in the installation

Can’t test OBC/OBDII combination
until install

Per-piece hardware price

Daughter
Board

OBDII module with plug-
in interconnect &
mounting holes

Optional OBDII Y-Cable

OBC with TTL serial port,
matching plug-in interconnect, 5V
Supply, DB-15 connector to go to
OBDII Y-Cable.

Software to read/write to serial
port

Minimal software integration.

Reduce steps of installation

Less expensive than box

Automatic updates to new units

Test OBC/OBDII combination in the
factory at build time

PCBD Change required on OBC

OBC enclosure has to accommodate
daughter board

Possibly more expensive than chip
set.

Per-piece hardware price

Chip Set

Schematic

Bill of Materials

Example layout

FPGA HW Description

Firmware in executable
form

Integrate Streamer design into
the OBC.

Software to read/write to serial
port

Source OBDII chip set for
production

Minimal software integration.

Reduce steps of installation

Can lay out OBC PCBD to fit best in
enclosure

Possibly less expensive than daughter
board

Test OBC/OBDII combination in the
factory at build time

Extensive PCBD layout on OBC

Software updates for OBDII have to
be implemented in customer
production

Any hardware updates require a new
PCBD layout for the OBC.

Requires high quantities of chip set
purchase to get cost savings.

Replicates processors compared to IP
version.

First year NRE

Consecutive year
maintenance fee

Per-piece license fee

IP Libraries

Firmware in library form
(CAN Only)

Embedded Database
(CAN Only)

Design a CAN interface into the
OBC

Write an interface between the
Streamer libraries and the OBC
application.

Write board support libraries
between the Streamer libraries
and the OS/Hardware.

No redundant hardware costs.

Can achieve a small form factor.

No support for vehicles without CAN
(older than 2008)

Extensive software integration
required.

Hardware CAN interface design
required.

Longest time to market

Software updates for OBDII have to
be integrated into software before
production
