Advanced Gasoline Engine Management Platform for Euro IV & CHN IV Emission Regulation 2008-01-1704

The increasingly stringent requirements in relation to emission reduction and onboard diagnostics are pushing the Chinese automotive industry toward more innovative solutions and a rapid increase in electronic control performance. To manage the system complexity the architecture will require being well structure on hardware and software level.

The paper introduces GEMS-K1 (Gasoline Engine Management System - Kit 1). GEMS-K1 is a platform being compliant with Euro IV emission regulation for gasoline engines. The application software is developed using modeling language, the code is automatically generated from the model. The driver software has a well defined structure including microcontroller abstraction layer and ECU abstraction layer. The hardware is following design rules to be robust, 100% testable and easy to manufacture. The electronic components use the latest innovation in terms of architecture and technologies. The microcontroller is a multicore (2 cores 32bit) with TriCore and a PCP (peripheral control processor). It has DSP and floating point calculation. The design has been performed to target very cost effective solution.
