By integrating multiple functional safety related modules, the Wooden Bull platform provides customers with a comprehensive functional safety solution:

Ø  Watchdog Management: Implements monitoring of system-critical tasks through WdgIf (Watchdog Interface) and WdgM (Watchdog Manager), supporting both internal and external watchdogs to ensure real-time monitoring of system operational status.

Ø  End-to-End Protection: Implements E2E communication protection mechanisms, ensuring data integrity and correctness during transmission through CRC verification, counters, and timestamps.

Ø  Memory Protection: Implements CRC verification and data redundancy backup for critical data through storage management modules including EA (EEPROM Abstraction), FEE (Flash EEPROM Emulation), and NVM (Non-Volatile Memory Manager), ensuring storage reliability.

Ø  OS SC4: Implements AUTOSAR OS with Scalability Class 4 (SC4) features, providing memory protection mechanisms, timing protection monitoring, and service protection for safety-critical applications. (Note: Developed based on the chip hardware support for memory protection and time protection, the current KF32A series does not have corresponding hardware support)

ZC.MuNiu provides a comprehensive basic software platform solution for the development of automotive electronic control units. This product refers to international standards such as AUTOSAR and OSEK, and has a configuration tool based on the AUTOSAR ARTOP architecture.  ZC.MuNiu supports communication, diagnostics, and network management specifications for major OEMs like SAIC, FAW, Geely, GAC, CCAG, and GWM.  

Based on KungFu32's self-developed core, KF32A series microcontrollers are a series of 32-bit automotive grade MCUs for users in the field of automotive electronics. Focusing on solutions for the automotive chip application market, they can be used in a full range of applications, such as body control, new energy and BMS, instrumentation assistance, car air-conditioning, door/window control, windshield wiper control, Telematics, and reversing radar, etc. The series is optimized for reliability and security. The series has been optimized in terms of reliability and security, with a temperature rating of Grade 1, meeting the operating temperature range of -40℃~125℃, and AES128 encryption/CRC32 checksum functions, which can meet the stringent requirements of automotive industry customers for high information security and data integrity of MCUs.

As an important global partner of Semiconductor, Shanghai ZC provides the basic software platform for KF32A series microcontrollers, which mainly includes: single-core operating system, communication protocol stack (CAN\LIN), diagnostic protocol stack (UDS\J1939), network management (OSEK\AUTOSAR), calibration co-stack (XCP\CCP), and storage protocol stack, Complex driver modules, etc., with ZC Bootloader refresher program and host computer tools, can be configured and redeveloped according to the requirements of different customer projects. In addition to the basic software products, ZC also provides development services for the realization of the controller's basic software functions.

The AUTOSAR organization was established in 2003, mainly by European car manufacturers, component suppliers, and other electronics, semiconductor, and software system companies. It is committed to developing an open, standardized software architecture for the automotive industry. The goal is to "cooperate on standards and compete on applications", so can improve the stability of the basic platform, reducing costs, and enhancing the quality and speed of controller product development. The 2.1 version of the specification was released at the end of 2006, and the 3.1 version was released in 2008. Functional safety, Ethernet, and other contents are also added. Currently, the widely used versions are 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, as well as version 4.3.1.

In the major trends of electrification, connectivity, and intelligence, the number of automotive electronic and electrical components is increasing. The electrical structure is becoming more complex, and the development cycle of the vehicle is continuously shortening. Basic software plays an increasingly important role.

ZC provides basic software products, as well as development services comply with ASPICE Level 3 processes and functional safety requirements of ASIL-D. ZC also provides customized complex driver software for SBC (Safety Control Board) chips and BCCIC (Battery Cell Control IC) chips. By integrating ZC's functional safety product SafetyFrame, can meet the functional safety requirements.

ZC has the core technology of the AUTOSAR basic software and can provide on-site support with high quality, fast speed, and low cost.

To meet the diverse project requirements of customers and enhance the scalability of the basic software platform, the MuNiu basic software platform has implemented the configurability of each module and has also developed a configuration tool. Customers can complete the configuration of each module according to different requirements on the configuration tool, generate configuration code files, and integrate the generated configuration files into the project.

ZC.MuNiu basic software platform configuration tool is based on the Eclipse platform and is built on the ARTOP architecture, which implements the parsing of the AUTOSAR model and ARXML. In addition to the modules defined by the AUTOSAR standard, it also supports OEM and Tie1 manufacturers to develop their own modules for secondary development. After the configuration is completed, the configuration code for each module can be generated.
