Research Scope

We use Ghidra to trace torque structures, state machines, diagnostic gating, and calibration dependencies before software development or validation handoff.

Supported ECU Platforms

  • Bosch MED17 / MEVD17 / EDC17 families
  • Bosch MG1 / MD1 gasoline and diesel applications
  • SIMOS18 / SIMOS19 and selected Continental strategies
  • Keihin / Denso / Delphi / Continental variants
  • Platform-specific validation workflow and implementation review

Feature Development and MapSwitch Logic

  • Custom MapSwitch and MultiMap state-machine design
  • Driving-mode, switch, or CAN-input integration review
  • Torque request, driver-demand, and limiter alignment
  • Fail-safe, fallback, and implementation risk balancing

Motorsport or off-road logic only where applicable. Final compliance remains the client's responsibility.

Engineering Deliverables

  • Function-entry and cross-reference mapping
  • Strategy notes for torque, mode, or limiter pathways
  • RAM/ROM signal context and calibration dependencies
  • Structured handoff memo for implementation, testing, and rollback planning

Typical Research Targets

  • Torque structure, intervention hierarchy, and safety paths
  • Driver-demand, mode-control, and limiter strategies
  • Start-up, warm-up, and thermal protection logic
  • Project-specific feasibility checks before feature development

Execution Workflow

Each project is framed around traceability, implementation practicality, and risk control rather than raw binary exploration alone.

Binary Intake and Triage

We review software version, processor family, read method, and project objective before committing engineering time.

Function Tracing and Strategy Mapping

Critical routines are traced through references, state transitions, and calibration access paths to establish a usable engineering picture.

Implementation Handoff and Validation

Outputs are structured for calibration teams, software developers, or validation staff, with attention to rollback logic and test coverage.

Where This Adds Value

The service is built for calibration houses, advanced workshops, and development teams that need deeper platform understanding before delivery.

Custom Feature Development

MapSwitch, mode-dependent behavior, and project-specific control features that require more than map editing alone.

Platform Onboarding

Faster ramp-up when a new ECU family, software branch, or strategy concept enters your workflow.

Technical Support for Delivery Teams

Clearer coordination between reverse engineering, calibration, dyno validation, and client delivery teams.
