Abstract(in English) This report presents our first trial to apply a Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture to a gasoline engine control, one of automotive applications that require high dependability. CPU cores in our NoC platform implement a production grade Electric Control Unit (ECU) for a gasoline engine, and compute some of the critical control outputs including injection timing, injection duration and ignition timing from the corresponding sensor data. In a NoC based architecture, connection between sensors/actuators and ECUs can be flexible. This makes it easy for our NoC platform to control an engine with high dependability, by having redundant CPU cores where the engine control application software is redundantly stored and an external TO core that dispatches the computation to a non-faulty CPU based on online failure detection. We demonstrated that the engine controlled by our NoC based ECUs could be kept running properly despite a (simulated) failure of one of the CPU cores.
