2.2.1. Hardware

The following items of hardware are available as part of OpenECU:

Electronic Control Unit (ECU)

This is the computer that monitors and controls all aspects of the electronic system's behaviour. Code generated from your Simulink model is programmed into the ECU. There are four different models of ECU currently available — 4 in-line cylinder and V8 cylinder, in both development and fleet models (see Section 1.1, “ECU hardware reference documentation” for further details).

Connectors

All the connectors and terminals required to connect the ECU, the calibration tool and your PC together.

Tools

You will require a crimping tool for the ECU connectors. Pi Innovo will give you details on request.
