eStation: One-Stop HMI Software Development Suite Focused on Demand

eStation is a one-stop tool suite for cockpit HMI software development launched by Yixing Technology. It is based on the eFramework, a Model-Based Application Development Kit for HMI software. The eStation suite covers the entire development management process from architecture, modules, signals, code generation, testing management, integration release, quality, to delivery, accommodating the development needs of instrument panels, HUDs, central control, co-driver displays, and mobile apps. The eStation suite consists of five major components: 1) eFramework, the core HMI software platform development framework, defines the UI display layer, UX interaction layer, function business logic layer, and data parsing layer for cockpit development; 2) ePlugin, a standard plugin collection including dynamic lane lines, frame-by-frame animations, video stream rendering, and data statistics, aims to solve technical challenges quickly; 3) eToolkit, a development toolset that includes eSimulator, eWatcher, and eLogger to improve development and debugging efficiency; 4) eUnitTest, an automated unit testing tool that enhances development and testing efficiency by automatically running test cases; 5) eDesk, a development management system that oversees standardized modules and the entire R&D process. The unique advantages of the eStation product are: 1) a forward-thinking project management approach that integrates agile development processes for cockpit HMI software; 2) an efficient hierarchal development framework that offers standardized, reusable development plugins; 3) low project development costs through comprehensive coverage of software development stages. As a leading full-stack solution provider for intelligent automotive R&D in China, Yixing Technology is committed to creating fully automated software development production lines, addressing the many pain points within the automotive software development process. The eStation suite aims to facilitate high-level interconnection and platformization of cockpit software development, helping automotive companies and Tier 1 suppliers achieve software platform development. With the ongoing evolution of automotive electronic technology, the demand for improved software development quality and efficiency is prevalent among automotive R&D teams. The eStation product has gained recognition from multiple automotive companies and is expected to assist more clients in establishing robust HMI development capabilities, fostering cost reduction and efficiency improvements across the industry.
