eStation——A one-stop cockpit HMI software development kit centered on demand丨Yixing Technology confirms its application for the 2024 Golden Edition Award

Application Technology | eStation - a one-stop cockpit HMI software development kit centered on demand

Application field: Intelligent cockpit

Unique advantages:

The highlights and value of eStation products are mainly reflected in: 1. Forward-looking project management method: By planning the project phase progress (business opportunities, project establishment, implementation, delivery, acceptance, payment collection and maintenance), and combining the agile development process of cockpit HMI software (demand management, iteration management, defect management, release management, test management, and work time management), the software development project is managed and controlled in an integrated manner. 2. Efficient hierarchical development framework: eStation's core component eFramework defines the UI display layer, UX interaction layer, Function business logic layer and data parsing layer of cockpit development. Based on different layers, it provides developers with standardized and reusable development plug-ins, greatly improving the efficiency of project development. The advantages of layered development are: - It can support the use of different UI tools such as Kanzi, Unity and Qt to achieve the needs of upward compatibility with multiple tools. In the environment of reusing the same set of UE and business logic, car manufacturers can better choose the appropriate UI tool to achieve the best rendering effect. - Convert various data sources into standard key-value pairs of Yixing. In this way, the data differences between different car manufacturers and Tier 1 are isolated, so that UE and Function business logic can be well reused. 3. Low project development cost: The five major components of the eStation product comprehensively cover all aspects of software development. Their combination can help users shorten the project cycle and save project costs as a whole. Among them: The eFramework framework divides the software framework into standard versions, reduces the error rate, and shortens the iteration cycle of the project; the ePlugin plug-in library and the eToolKit toolset can help users quickly verify the reliability of standardized modules and function/signal quality; eUnitTest can help users automatically generate test cases, reducing the difficulty and number of test script writing; the eDesk management system can assist different departments in quickly aligning and communicating information, reducing communication costs, and strict management and real-time detection of the development process can also greatly reduce project management costs.

Application scenarios:

eStation is a Model Based Application Development Kit based on the Yixing HMI software development framework (eFramework), covering the full process development management of architecture, modules, signals, code generation, test management, integrated release, quality, and delivery, and can simultaneously meet the development needs of instruments, HUD, central control, co-pilot, and mobile apps.
