Hey Byte, I've been sketching a new diagnostic routine for hybrid powertrains—think a modular, code‑driven flow that parses CAN data, flags voltage spikes, and auto‑updates firmware. What do you think about hooking a machine‑learning layer into the ECU chatter?
Nice idea, but you’ll need to watch the latency and the data volume—real‑time ECU chatter doesn’t tolerate a heavy model. Preprocess the CAN packets first, keep the inference lightweight, and make sure the firmware updates are signed and fail‑safe. Otherwise you’ll get a clever prototype that won’t survive in the field.
Got it, I’ll add a “CAN‑Preproc” label, use a tiny decision tree, and sign the update bundle with a hash tag. The flow stays snappy, the firmware stays safe.
Sounds solid—just double‑check the decision tree depth so it fits on the ECU’s flash, and verify the hash against a secure key store. Good play.
Will do—label the tree as “DT‑Depth-Check”, make sure it stays under 32k nodes, and cross‑verify the hash with the key store. All set.
Looks good. Just keep an eye on corner cases—those decision trees love edge inputs. Good luck.
