We are excited to announce that Zilogic Systems will be participating as a Bronze Partner at the prpl Global Summit 2025, taking place on October 13–14 in Paris, France.

Hosted by the prpl Foundation, the summit is one of the most influential gatherings in the open-source networking space—bringing together global leaders and innovators who are shaping the future of carrier-grade CPEs with prplWare. We are proud to be part of this global exchange of ideas and collaboration.

We are proud to announce that Zilogic Systems will be participating as an Event Partner at Network X 2025, taking place from October 14–16 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.

This premier global event brings together the brightest minds in Wireless, Telecom, and Edge Technologies, and we are thrilled to be part of the conversation shaping the future of connectivity.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a mechanism that creates 802.11 frames with a 4-address format, and WDS mode is present mainly in Wireless Driver of OpenWRT. WDS mode is required for creating a network connection for larger complex environments that deploy multiple APs with advanced capabilities, which are essential for robust, scalable, and high-performance wireless network connectivity over a wireless link between the access point and the repeater.

SOME/IP is an automotive protocol used for communication between vehicle ECUs. It is an application layer protocol, used in automotive ethernet.

Communication is necessary between between sensors, actuators and control units within a vehicle. These were acheived by using CAN bus. With advancement in technology, automotive systems needed mechanism for transfering large amounts of data for applications like camera based driver assistance systems, in-vehicle entertainment, software upgrades, etc. CAN bus was primarily designed for low bandwidth applications and hence these new requirements could not be accommodated with CAN.

With advancements in technology and increasing customer demands, automotive ECUs have become incredibly complex, to a point where a fairly advanced vehicle can have more than a thousand features, provided by a hundred ECUs.

This complexity has necessitated OEMs to rethink their vehicle testing strategy. Python and Robot Framework are now playing an increasingly dominant role in a realm that was dominated by proprietary software tools. In this article, we will discuss how Python and Robot Framework can be used in automotive testing, using an OBD-II Heads-up Display, as an example.

The CPE router development is getting more aligned towards building the router middleware with open standards and open source software, to ensure the router stack to be vendor and SoC agnostic. The preference towards community software over the custom SDKs becoming more vital and the traction to use the Vanilla or upstream router stack for SoC’s is the solution. Zilogic is also completely aligned with the same goal and looking for prospects to explore towards vendor agnostic and opensource aligned router stacks. As part of this goal we have started with the vanilla Openwrt with more production level support for customer needs. This roadmap initially would start with Qualcomm’s IPQ based WiFi SoCs considering our long term association with Qualcomm on router stack development.

AUTOSAR is being the prominent talk of the automotive industry in the last decade. AUTOSAR is known for its flexible design and scalability, among various other advantages. This case study discusses about implementation of one such AUTOSAR module, TcpIp. The implementation approach, challenges faced are described further.

In the era of AI voice assistants, most systems rely heavily on the cloud for speech recognition, raising concerns about data privacy, security, and the need for constant internet connectivity. To address these challenges, AI-driven offline voice assistants are used. Such offline voice assistants are especially crucial in automotive systems, where reliable voice control over in-car functions must remain available even in areas with poor cellular coverage.

In this article, we will discuss a challenge we faced while implementing natural language commands and the solution we adopted to overcome it.

Expanding Our Role in the Open-Source Wireless Broadband Ecosystem

At Zilogic Systems, we have always believed in the power of open-source platforms to drive innovation, accelerate development, and bring industry players together to solve complex challenges. Today, we’re proud to announce another major milestone in our journey — Zilogic Systems is now a Preferred Member of the RDK (Reference Design Kit) Community.

ucode is a minimal general-purpose scripting language which seems like the ECMA scripts. It can be an isolated interpreter encapsulated into a host application or any other systems. Although OpenWrt mainly uses POSIX shell and Lua as its system scripting languages, a new approach was necessary to support the requirements of the new firewall implementation. Specifically, this involved the need to effectively handle JSON data, manage complex data structures like arrays and dictionaries, and integrate seamlessly with OpenWrt’s ubus messaging system.

As we all know, binaries are the final executable form of software after compilation. They are essential for:

Without a proper storage and retrieval system, managing these binaries becomes complex and error-prone.
