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
