Functionality
In complex in-vehicle network environments, a single CAN protocol can no longer fulfill the usage requirements, and there is often a need to introduce technical requirements such as Ethernet. Faced with how toThe Challenge of Reducing Space and Simplifying Harness Layout(math.) genusHKIC1-MBM21000 Lightweight Vehicle-mounted Network Communication Test Motherboard (HKIC1-MBM21000)Provides solutions. This motherboard adopts an integrated platform design to verify the accuracy of data transmission, simulate fault conditions to test the response and processing capability of the ECU, support data performance testing under high load, and record the data and events during the testing process for subsequent analysis and optimization.
