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.

Read moreIn the automotive industry, aerodynamics plays an increasingly important role in designing modern vehicles. For mass-produced cars, key commercial goals include high load capacity, speed and driving comfort, while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Therefore, understanding and effectively applying aerodynamics is a fundamental aspect of the design process. This is especially true with the growing number of electric and autonomous vehicles. Let’s find out which basic terms are worth knowing, why aerodynamics is so important for cars and how computer simulations help engineers optimise the airflow around vehicles.
Read moreReducing noise and vibration is one of the key issues in modern vehicle design. With NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) analyses, engineers create cars that are more comfortable, safer and meet rigorous standards. How do engineering simulations support the vehicle design process in eliminating unwanted vibration and sound?
