Project Overview

What we're building

AuMi's eBike Control Unit project delivers a production-grade ECU platform centred on the STM32 ARM Cortex-M4 — one of the most capable embedded controllers for real-time motor drive applications. The system integrates advanced Field-Oriented Control (FOC) algorithms for BLDC and PMSM motors, providing smooth, efficient torque delivery across the full operating range.

The ECU integrates battery management, charger control, display interfaces and sensor fusion in a single, compact hardware design. Vehicle communication and diagnostics are implemented using CAN bus and standard automotive protocols, enabling fleet-level monitoring and OTA firmware upgrades.

The project scope covers hardware architecture, embedded software, motor control algorithm tuning, system integration and complete vehicle-level validation — producing a scalable controller platform suitable for multiple vehicle categories.

High-Efficiency Motor Control

Advanced FOC with SVPWM minimises switching losses and maximises range per charge cycle.

Improved Range & Ride Performance

Optimised torque maps and regenerative braking strategies extend operational range significantly.

Scalable Controller Platform

Modular hardware and software architecture scales across light cargo, commuter and performance vehicle categories.

Production-Ready Architecture

Safety-critical embedded software with fault protection, watchdog management and fail-safe degradation modes.

Reduced Future Dev Time

Reusable BSP, driver libraries and control framework cut time-to-market for next vehicle platforms.

Key Activities

Engineering Scope

Seven parallel engineering tracks covering hardware, software, integration and validation.

Embedded Controller Architecture
