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.

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.

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.

We’re thrilled to share big news! Zilogic Systems Joins prpl Foundation:Powering the Future of Connected Devices.

Since 2007, Zilogic has been crafting cutting-edge embedded software solutions for automotive, wireless networks, and IoT industries. Zilogic Systems is now a proud member of the prpl Foundation, a global community driving open-source innovation for next-generation connected devices. This milestone marks an exciting step in our journey to shape the future of networking!

Zilogic Systems is proud to participate as a Co-Sponsor at CAEV EXPO 2025, taking place on April 24–25 at KTPO, Bangalore. This premier event serves as a pivotal platform to explore the future of mobility—bringing together innovators, OEMs, Tier-1, technology leaders, and visionaries shaping the next era of the automotive industry.

We’re thrilled to announce Zilogic Systems' participation in the Automotive Testing Expo 2025, happening at CTC complex, Chennai from April 8–10, 2025 — the leading event showcasing innovations in automotive testing, validation, and quality engineering.

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.

This article introduces the Flattened Image Tree (FIT) for multi-component files, which is a de facto standard used in Linux kernel booting in ARM-based systems.

OpenWrt is a Linux based Open-source Operating system which are primarily used on wireless routers and mesh devices. For users, OpenWrt means the freedom of full customization, allowing the use of an embedded device in ways the vendor never envisioned. Designed to be lightweight and efficient, OpenWrt is capable to run in range of hardware products, be it low memory Wi-Fi routers, CPE routers and so on.

OpenWrt is an opensource Linux distribution which enables several Routers and Access Points. It is designed to be a lean router stack, but with a scaleable architecture where,it can be customized and extended with more features. It is possible that we can develop our own custom component and add it to the router stack conveniently.

This is the first part of a mini series dedicated to introduce openwrt bus architecture and adding a shell based custom component to Openwrt.
