Description text
At Bosch eBike Systems, the market leader in the e-bike industry, we had the opportunity to develop a prototype for a Linux-based e-bike control unit. This proof of concept demonstrated the significant advantages of Linux as basic software and operating system on an embedded platform as it can be used in e-bikes. A central part of our work was the customization of a Linux operating system.
List of technical features
- Workshop on the advantages and disadvantages of embedded Linux compared to microcontrollers
- Automated onboarding using a cloud-based IDE
- Porting a FreeRTOS application to a Raspberry Pi embedded Linux platform
- Creation of a customized Raspberry Pi Linux operating system with BuildRoot
- Connection and configuration of the Raspberry Pi CAN FD hardware
- Prototyping, soldering and wiring
- Connection of I2C Led drivers and GPIOs to Raspberry Pi
- Implementation of GPIO access to Raspberry Pi
- Hardware debugging using CAN analyzer, logic analyzer and oscilloscope
