What are possible reasons for NVM data corruption during embedded controller shutdown?
Consider a typical autonomous embedded Steering Control Module. This controller is mounted in a Commercial Truck. It assists in keeping the vehicle in it's lane.
During transition to sleep mode, real camera calibration data is written from RAM to NVM. This data written to NVM is corrupted. What are possible reasons that corrupt NVM data?
- Brown out condition
- Reset
- Power loss
- Any other reason that cause NVM corruption during controller transitioning to sleep mode.
How to find out if NVM data is corrupted? After controller wakes up, does it calculate checksum of real calibration values in the NVM and if calculated checksum doesn't match checksum stored in NVM, it is concluded that NVM is corrupted?
- Why do think there is such a thing as a typical autonomous embedded Steering Control Module?
- I think we are still several years away from a generic solution or an industry standard.
- And why do you assume that a typical Steering Module will use RAM and NVM and be allowed to take naps?
- You need at least a detailed block diagram of the proposed module, hardware and software, before you can ask practical questions about failure modes.
