V2X On-Board Unit

The V2X  unit is an IP67-rated, embedded Linux-based platform designed for connected vehicle and intelligent transportation applications. It provides an open software environment with APIs and SDKs, enabling OEMs and solution providers to develop and deploy their own V2X and edge applications.

Powered by a dual-core Arm Cortex-A35 processor, the platform supports C-V2X communication, GNSS positioning, multiple CAN-FD interfaces, Automotive Ethernet, rich I/O connectivity, onboard RTC, advanced power management, and robust security capabilities.

The V2X provides the flexibility to develop application-specific connected vehicle solutions, supporting V2X communication and integration with vehicle systems and cloud services rather than being limited to a fixed-function device. For complete hardware and software specifications, please refer to the datasheet.

Sidelink Synchronization Signal (SLSS) is used in C-V2X to provide synchronization for sidelink communication over the PC5 interface. It is particularly important when GNSS-based synchronization is unavailable, allowing V2X devices to maintain the required timing synchronization for direct communication.

Absolutely. The V2X  features an IP67-rated enclosure and is designed to operate reliably in harsh environmental conditions, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C. It is engineered to withstand dust, water, vibration, and other demanding outdoor conditions, making it suitable for heavy-duty vehicles, buses, commercial vehicles, off-highway vehicles, construction and mining vehicles, agricultural vehicles, and other rugged automotive applications.

iWave provides the complete Board Support Package (BSP) and platform-level software required for the V2X . The V2X protocol stack is provided through a third-party stack provider and can be integrated with the iWave BSP based on the customer’s application requirements.

The V2X  unit is powered by an NXP i.MX8DXL processor and operates on Embedded Linux (Yocto). The platform provides a flexible and reliable computing environment for V2X, vehicle connectivity, and edge application development.

The V2x unit supports local edge processing of V2X messages, GNSS data, vehicle data, and sensor information, enabling real-time event detection, data processing, and secure communication with connected infrastructure and cloud services. Processing data locally helps reduce communication latency and enables faster response for safety-critical and connected-vehicle applications.

Yes. The V2X supports low-power operating modes, including Standby Mode and Deep Power Down Mode. It supports configurable wake-up sources such as Ignition, CAN, RTC, Timer, and Accelerometer, with multiple wake-up sources capable of being enabled simultaneously. These features help minimize power consumption while ensuring the V2x unit can wake up based on configured events.

Yes. The V2X  is designed to support simultaneous operation of V2X communication, GNSS positioning, cellular connectivity, and Wi-Fi, enabling continuous vehicle connectivity and real-time data exchange.

Yes. Automotive Ethernet is available for high-speed in-vehicle networking. The standard configuration includes one Automotive Ethernet interface, while an optional variant supports two Automotive Ethernet interfaces for applications requiring additional high-speed communication.

Yes. The V2X supports 5× CAN FD, and automotive-standard protocols including J1939, OBDII, and UDS over CAN.

It enables real-time acquisition of engine diagnostics, fuel consumption, battery status, fault codes, and other vehicle parameters.

The V2X unit runs on an Embedded Linux platform based on Yocto. Customers receive a complete Board Support Package (BSP), including the Yocto source, Linux kernel source, and base BSP implementation.

To simplify application development, iWave provides software libraries with APIs for accessing the available hardware peripherals, along with comprehensive API documentation and user manuals.

Customers have full access to the source code and are free to customize or modify the Linux kernel and BSP to meet their application requirements.

Complete flexibility is given to build custom Telematics applications covering data acquisition, edge analytics, protocol conversion , event processing and securely connect with various cloud platforms. It allows developers to integrate end use case specific edge features such as power management, network management and over-the-air (OTA) updates

Yes. The V2X device supports Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware and software updates through integration with OTA frameworks such as Mender, OSTree, Memfault or any other OTA client.

OTA functionality can be implemented as a custom solution based on your application and cloud infrastructure requirements, enabling secure remote deployment of firmware and software updates to devices in the field.

The V2X  device incorporates a Microchip TA100 Hardware Secure Element to provide hardware-based security, including secure key storage, encryption, authentication, and cryptographic operations.

In addition, the platform supports security features such as Secure Boot, Secure Storage, Secure CAN communication, and other cybersecurity capabilities that can be implemented based on customer-specific requirements.

These features help protect the device and its data in connected vehicle and IoT applications.

iWave has an extensive list of qualifications tests done for all Telematics products. This covers durability, environmental, EMI / EMC, electrical tests done as per the Automotive vehicle standards.

Please refer the datasheet for the complete list of qualification tests.
