3Intended use and integration into system
The SLA and Adapter Boards can be installed in test-vehicles for recording of the sensor and debug port
data. In this use case the sensor data will be forwarded to the ECU and simultaneously sent to the DLM
for logging purposes. Debug data from ECU interfaces will be handled by the Adapter Board and recorded
through the SLA.
In laboratory environment, typically the reinjection mode is used (e.g. in HIL environment). The formerly
recorded data will be sent to the SLA from a server and sent to the ECU. Debug data from ECU interfaces
will be handled by the Adapter Board and can be recorded through the SLA or reinjected towards the
ECU.

3.2 Additional notices to electrical Grounding issues
•The coax cables between cameras, SLAs and ECUs have a common ground connection by the
nature of the application’s sensor to ECU connection. For this reason, the SLAs power supply
must be galvanically isolated from the ECUs power supply. Otherwise physical damage to the ECU
and/or SLA devices is likely to be observed as well as a degradation of the sensor signal quality.
•AED recommends using the SLA-DCDC-30W isolated DC/DC converter for the power supply of
every individual SLA to avoid misfunction or damage of SLAs, sensors, or ECUs because of ground
loops.
•It is the responsibility of the customer to avoid ground loops. AED will not take liability for any
damages or malfunction caused by grounding issues.

D. ECU debug port
The ECU debug connector is AED Vantage´s designation to the Aurora-based proprietary SERDES
bidirectional communication protocol established between two Xilinx FPGAs: the one located at
the SLA and the second present on a customer-specific Adapter Board directly attached to the
ECU.
The main objective of the ECU debug port is aggregating and sending some interfaces of interest
from the Adapter Board to the SLA, most of them to be timestamped and logged (next to the
original SLA’s MIPI data and sideband interfaces). Optionally an Ethernet interface form the
Adapter Board may also be forwarded to the SLA’s Control.
The connector used is hybrid: it has two SERDES twisted pairs for TX/RX and a separate optional
third pair (12 V output) able to forward the SLA’s main power input (+12V nominal) to the Debug
Module. Beware, Pin 5 and Pin 6 operate as voltage output. Do not connect any other voltage
supply to these pins.
Therefore, do not connect two SLAs via ECU-link with each other. This is not a use-case. The
output voltage of 12 V on both sides of the SLA, will defect the device and maybe other devices
connected through.

G. Control port:
Communication between the SLA’s CPU and an external host is accomplished via 1000BASE-T
interface. This interface has many potential use-cases, like providing access to a web-based page
for monitoring and configuration of the whole SLA system or a PTP-based time synchronization
with an external clock master (IEEE 802.1AS). The Control Port sometimes is also referred to as
Management Port. The RJ45 provides two integrated status LEDs.

J. Data Link:
10G Ethernet interface with SFP+ slot for connectivity between SLA and a Data Logger Module
(DLM) with the purpose of externally storing the MIPI CSI-2 data and sideband interfaces flowing
between sensors and ECU. Further use case is to retransmit data to the ECU which was previously
stored or synthesized –in the case of HIL mode.
The selection of qualified SFP+ modules and cables is still subject of change. For a list of verified
and supported SFP+ modules and cables please contact AED Vantage GmbH.

5Installation location
Always prepare the protection of the SLA against external damage. As proper location for installation
serves preferably a firm and stable base.
5.1 Grounding
For installation in test vehicles, it is required to provide an electrical connection of the enclosure of the
SLA with the chassis of the vehicle by e.g. fixing bracket or copper tape.
•Impedance (Z): < 50mOhm
•Resistance (R): < 10mOhm
5.2 ESD
Operate with the device in an ESD-compliant environment.
5.3 General environmental conditions
The following general environmental conditions shall be considered when using the SLA:
•Indoor use only except in automotive test vehicles
•Altitude up to 3000 m
•Operating temperature -30 °C … +70 °C
•Maximum relative humidity 95 % non-condensing
•No use in wet locations or in areas where moisture or condensation can be expected
•Supply voltage fluctuations between +8 VDC and +16 VDC
•Transient over-voltages up to the levels of overvoltage category I (CAT I)
•Pollution degree 2: Only non-conductive pollution occurs except that occasionally a
temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected
It is the responsibility of the user to provide sufficient cooling keeping the SLA within its specified
temperature limits in all cases. Further details are provided in the technical data sheet. You can download
this document from the AED wiki see section 11.4.

6Quick Start Guide
6.1 Power up the device
Before powering the device, make sure to read and understand the safety notes in section 2. Connect the
SLA to a power supply which provides 12 V DC nominal. AED recommends using a galvanically isolated
power supply (e.g. power supply in combination with AED DC/DC converter: SLA-DCDC-30W). Please note
the port pinning assignments in section 4.2 and read the important notices in section 3. The SLA will boot
automatically. After booting, the SLA will start up in logging-mode by default.
Please note that the device must remain switched off for at least 10 seconds before it can be switched on
again.
6.2 Connect with SLA via control port interface
Connect the SLA via ethernet cable from your PC to the SLA control port. The control port interface can
be accessed through one of two IP v4 addresses. Beware, the user IP address of the 1G Port is
configurable and persistent. The secondary static IP v4 address is pre-configured by factory which cannot
be changed. This provides a guaranteed way of accessing the SLA device for configuration and
management as a fallback.
•IPv4 user (default): 10.104.3.192
•IPv4 secondary (fixed): 192.178.1.100

7Example use case
The SLA can be used in two different ways. In logging mode, for forwarding the sensor data to the ECU, or
in replay mode for laboratory use in HiL test benches. In both ways prepare not sending data during the
start-up time of the SLA. There are two examples of typical applications below:
7.1 Logging mode
Figure 7-1 Application example in SLA logging mode
Be careful not to swap the SerDes ports. The sensor is connected to SerDes in and the ECU is connected
to SerDes out. Wrong connection can damage the device.
