Endego recently tackled a complex project involving software analysis and implementation for front car lights. This case study outlines how we supported the customer in achieving precise software and hardware integration for a new headlamp.
The customer needed assistance in implementing and verifying software on a new headlamp hardware (PCB board). The tasks included checking power and temperature conditions, implementing software protections, and ensuring communication between the light module and car ECU.
Endego provided a complete solution by designing, verifying, and configuring key hardware and software components. We implemented and tested the following:
Endego’s innovative solutions ensured a seamless hardware-software integration by addressing key aspects of the front car lighting system. Through the use of automotive protocols like CAN FD, SPI, and programmable current sources, we optimized both power management and communication between the light module and the car’s ECU. Dynamic testing allowed us to configure thermal protections, such as dynamic power derating, ensuring the system could handle temperature fluctuations. By designing and validating each component, including LED matrix drivers and external cooling controls, we provided robust protection and maintained optimal performance, even under demanding conditions.

Bus accessibility is not an afterthought but a set of requirements that influence the layout of the floor, suspension, and passenger compartment. A low entry height, space for a wheelchair, or the ability to lower the vehicle at a stop all stem from specific dimensional and functional requirements. That is why accessibility should be considered as early as the vehicle concept stage, rather than only during interior design.
Read moreCybersecurity in rolling stock has moved beyond a late-stage IT check and become a vehicle-engineering discipline. Network architecture, supplier responsibilities, software updates, secrets management and vulnerability handling all have to remain workable throughout a fleet’s service life.
Read moreRolling stock OEMs can reduce prototype risk by defining the validation scope early, connecting design with FEM analysis, checking critical joints and interfaces, and preparing traceable evidence before manufacturing begins. Simulation does not remove the need for physical testing. It helps make the prototype a confirmation of a mature design rather than the first place where major structural weaknesses are discovered.
