Proof of Execution

Live System Traces
Real Execution. Real Faults.

Captured directly from a live EVO vHIL session running across five concurrent terminals. Certain arbitration IDs, port assignments, and internal identifiers have been abstracted — the safety behaviors and telemetry values they surround are reproduced faithfully.

The Glowing Green SYNC

A single indicator that represents every layer of the architecture operating simultaneously.

The SYNC Indicator

That single glowing green dot is the visual proof of a fully realized HIL pipeline spanning multiple operating systems and architectures. It means the bridge is complete — the simulated STM32 RTOS is firing CAN frames, the Python Wormhole is catching them, the ADB tunnel is routing them through the firewall, and the Android Automotive C++ Daemon is unpacking telemetry in real-time.

The Zeros Are Not a Failure

The dashboard showing 0V and 0A is not a communication failure — it is the flawless execution of the ASIL-D Safety Architecture. Because the simulation had just booted and individual cell voltages were not yet propagated to match total pack voltage, the VCU's Plausibility Firewall detected a mathematical mismatch, ruthlessly severed the high-voltage contactor commands, and safely isolated the vehicle.

The trace shows the daemon completing initialization, entering HIL simulation mode (widening the CAN watchdog timeout for virtual bridge latency), then triggering two fault codes in sequence — CAN_TIMEOUT before the BMS bridge is established, and THERMAL_SHUTDOWN once a live thermal fault is injected via the middleware.

CAN_TIMEOUT on Boot

Expected behavior — the watchdog fires on the first silence window before the middleware bridge establishes. Confirms the deadman switch is live from boot, not after a grace period.

HIL Mode Widening

Daemon detects SIMULATION build flag and widens the CAN timeout threshold to accommodate virtual bridge latency. Production timeout values enforce on physical hardware builds.

THERMAL_SHUTDOWN Live

Injected mid-session via middleware. Confirms P1 thermal fault priority fires correctly and propagates through to the daemon's SYS_KILL handler — matching the defined fault hierarchy.

Six fault events across a ~58-minute session. The first four entries show zero-value telemetry — expected, as the BMS bridge was not yet connected. Entries at 15:40 and 16:08 are the key data points: they capture live BMS telemetry (298.9V, 25A, 85% SOC) at the exact moment of fault, confirming end-to-end CAN delivery was active.

Two consecutive nc sessions demonstrate non-permanent-latching fault recovery. Session 1 catches a live THERMAL_SHUTDOWN frame in-flight. Session 2, after fault clearance, shows SYSTEM_OK — the system returned to normal operation without a cold restart.

Non-Permanent-Latching Verified

Transition from STATE:5 / THERMAL_SHUTDOWN to STATE:4 / SYSTEM_OK between sessions confirms the safety model returns to normal operation once the fault clears — without requiring a full cold restart. Required property for any powertrain supporting fault-and-recover cycles in service.

Terminal 4 — Middleware Bridge
wormhole.py · Stream parser → CAN encoder → UDP injector into AAOS network stack

The middleware bridge receives raw USART telemetry from Renode, encodes each frame into a 29-bit Extended CAN structure, and injects it over the UDP tunnel into the Android OS network stack. The Zapped → line confirms each successful frame injection. Arbitration ID and payload are abstracted.

Frame Format

Extended CAN (29-bit arbitration ID). Each 8-byte payload encodes a structured telemetry snapshot per the proprietary DBC signal map — cell voltages, temperatures, state flags, LV rail data.

Broadcast Cadence

Multiple frames within the same timestamp confirm the BMS firmware's deterministic clock-driven broadcast cadence is faithfully relayed. Higher-criticality signals transmit at faster intervals.

Zero Packet Loss

Every frame emitted by the BMS USART was received, encoded, and injected across the OS boundary with no drops observed under nominal conditions across the 58-minute session.

Terminal 4 Screenshot

This is the raw output from the simulated MCU's USART1 peripheral inside Renode — the BMS C firmware emitting CAN frames exactly as it would over a physical serial-to-CAN interface on real silicon. The firmware is completely unaware it is running in simulation. The same frame format will appear on the physical CAN bus when this firmware is flashed to target silicon.

Deterministic Cadence

8 consecutive frames with identical content — expected during steady-state monitoring with no dynamic cell changes. Confirms RTOS tick-driven broadcast is operating correctly.

Hardware-Agnostic

The BMS firmware has zero knowledge of its Renode context. This output is identical to what the same binary will produce on physical silicon — results are fully production-representative.

Pipeline Entry Point

These frames are received by the middleware bridge (T4), encoded, forwarded to the VCU (T1), which then populates the state stream (T3) and the black-box log (T2).
