Software

Unex SOM-351U enables ease of V2X software development through its V2Xcast® technology. V2Xcast is a highly integrated and developer friendly software development kit for V2X communication. The solution provides ready-to-use V2X communication services for V2X applications, users can significantly cut time-to-market with less development and testing cost.

It includes two parts – V2Xcast Service and V2Xcast SDK.

V2Xcast SDK

Deploy V2Xcast SDK in your application host, it includes APIs to get the services from V2Xcast Service and the main functions of facility layer(J2735), such as message encoder/decoder and example code.

V2Xcast Service

V2Xcast Service image resides in SOM-351U, it combines IEEE WAVE stack, SCMS client and POTI. V2X communication protocols will be easily enabled via configuration profile input without any programming.

Security

A self-contained and highly integrated V2X system-on-module capable of highly secure V2X applications.
SOM-351U System On Module,V2X safety msg, app

Security functions provided by V2Xcast® are designed based on a highly secure HSM (Hardware Security Module).

The highly secure HSM with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification is embedded in SOM-351U.

Cryptographic processor eliminates bottlenecks, maximizes application performance and offload CPU’s computation. To protect your sensitive cryptographic keys in a high-assurance key vault, the design provides leverage a keys-in-hardware solution. With the keys-in-hardware solution, all the cryptographic operations are inside HSM and those keys never leave the HSM.
