Onboarding¶
ECU FOTA beta access is not available through self-service sign-up.
To participate, contact your Account Manager or Field Application Engineer (FAE) at Proemion. Proemion will enable ECU FOTA on your organization and configure the required TCUs.
Warning
ECU FOTA is currently in BETA phase. Functionality, interfaces, and integration behavior may change during the program.
What to Expect During Integration¶
Beta integrations require close coordination with Proemion. This is not a hands-off deployment.
Based on experience with beta customers:
- An onboarding call is held before integration begins.
- A troubleshooting session after the first integration attempts is consistently needed to resolve outstanding issues. Plan for this proactively.
- Iterative testing of both HMI checkpoints, status polling, and health check logic is required before deploying to production machines.
Note
Based on experience from previous beta customers, a dedicated troubleshooting session after first integration attempts should be scheduled as a standard step — not treated as an exception.
Prerequisites and Responsibilities¶
Before beginning the technical setup, verify the following requirements are fulfilled.
| Requirement | Description | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| ECU FOTA activated | ECU FOTA enabled on your organization and ECU FOTA toggle activated on target TCUs | Proemion |
| TCU power-cycled | Target TCUs power-cycled after ECU FOTA toggle activation — required for the toggle to take effect | OEM / Customer |
| TCU firmware version | Target TCUs running firmware 4.2 or later - see Firmware update | OEM / Customer |
| User permissions | User account has ECU:Admin Permission Set and Lab Mode enabled. | OEM / Customer |
| DataPortal setup | Software Repositories, Electronic Architecture, and ECU Update Requests configured | OEM / Customer |
| HMI / CANopen integration | Checkpoint 1 (operator approval) and Checkpoint 2 (health verification) implemented | OEM / Customer |
| ECU information available | ECU CAN addresses (bootloader), CAN interface, and authentication credentials — provided by the ECU manufacturer | OEM / Customer |
| Firmware file available | Valid Intel HEX file for the target ECU — provided by the ECU manufacturer | OEM / Customer |
| Troubleshooting sessions | Alignment sessions during integration | Proemion + OEM / Customer |
Note
For SSO users, the ECU:Admin permission set must be included in the relevant role in your Identity Provider (IdP) - see SSO Login for details. After the role is updated in the IdP, the user must log out of the DataPortal and log back in — re-logging into the IdP alone is not sufficient.
