Also, +1 for "ms is a success largely because of mx extra variants".
it's the only reason I looked into it - I desired spark control in a single box w/fuel. otherwise, I would have started my ecu much sooner.
So do you think this will change in the (near) future? I would be interested in seeing what you have done to broaden my experience of ECU coding.
Because of what I do at work and I'm using 'their toolset' to work on it, I need to clear it. From way up at the top, my company has expressed 0 desire to enter the ecu business - but based on past experience (even in other companies), once they have something on the plate in front of them they can't resist at least trying to sell it. Most of our innovations come from the bottom up. None of it is model based nor single threaded, I use an RTOS (FreeRTOS.org) and try to work on it whenever I can fit it in. It's moved through a few platforms (lpc2366->lpc1766->mpc5534) I'm finally content w/the 55xx platform. Since no port exists for the 55xx, I borrowed heavily from the ppc405 port. It's still only on a devboard, but I have some other boards I've stiched in (I showed some photos in another thread somewhere). I constantly mull over my design decisions, so it does move slowly at times. I only plan on doing this once, there are so many other things I wish to accomplish
I have been cleared for doing code in Fred's project
, althought I didn't expect any problems with that. I really like what I do and I'm very open/transparent about everything I do automotive related outside of work - they've been really good to me. They've even recently loaned me a bike dyno to take home - I don't think my neighbours are going to be very happy this summer.
Learning is never boring.
