Automotive Real-Time Charging Operating System
ChargingOS provides a deterministic runtime environment purpose-built for electric vehicle charging management: decoupling proprietary power hardware from high-level energy application logic.
ChargingOS Kernel Zonal Architecture
Central Controller: ChargingOS Kernel — Microkernel & Safe HAL
Zonal Control Units & TSN Ring
- High-Voltage Isolation Safety Island
- SiC/GaN PWM Power Driver Stage
- Unified Power HAL & Contactor API
- ISO 15118 / OCPP Protocol Containers
- Secure OTA Ingress & Kernel Rollback
Why Vehicle Charging Requires a Dedicated Real-Time OS
Modern EV platforms integrate bi-directional inverters, 800V-to-400V boost converters, DC-DC buck stages, and coolant circulation loops. Running this complex web of actuators on generic infotainment or telematics processors invites severe safety violations. ChargingOS guarantees sub-10-microsecond context switches and fault isolation.
Core Engineering Areas
- Microkernel Architecture for Charging — Separating protocol stacks, thermal management logic, and power hardware drivers into isolated user-space processes governed by a capability-based microkernel.
- Power Hardware Abstraction (PHAL) — Abstracting diverse power converter topologies behind a standardized, vendor-independent software interface for current, voltage, and phase control.
- OTA Power Firmware Updates — Delivering signed flash updates to digital signal processors and microcontrollers managing charging power stages with atomic rollback guarantees.
