Change Log

v1.1.1 (2024-02-12)

Bug fixes:

• Fixed possible segfaults at startup triggered by bad configuration.
• Fixed periodic upload trigger for heartbeat campaigns, that previously was only triggered by further data reception.

Improvements:

• Improve error output for bad configuration, to indicate where an option is missing or incorrect.
• Upgraded GitHub actions to support Node v20, as Node v16 is now EOL.
• Fixed some Coverity check regressions.
• Removed unsupported 'Geohash' feature.
• Corrected cleanup instructions in guides.
• Build Boost from source with -fPIC to enable linkage in a shared library.

v1.1.0 (2023-11-26)

Features:

• Add support for 'vision system data', with initial support for collection from ROS2. This enables collection of complex data types including structures, arrays and strings. Nested structures and arrays of structures are also supported.
  • Known limitations:
    • When no internet connection is available, collected vision system data is currently dropped, i.e. it is not persisted to the filesystem for later upload when connectivity is restored.
    • When the upload of vision system data to S3 fails, e.g. due to poor connectivity or throttling by S3, currently only one retry is attempted.

Improvements:

• Update AWS C++ SDK to v1.11.177.
• Update Yocto reference to kirkstone and NXP Linux BSP 37.0.
• Switch to MQTT 5 client for better error messages. This is fully backward compatible with the previous client. Please note that currently we are not using nor supporting any MQTT 5 specific feature besides reason codes.
• When a CAN interface goes down at runtime, FWE will now exit with with an error.
• Enabled FWE_FEATURE_IWAVE_GPS for the GitHub armhf pre-built-binary, and added auto-detection of the iWave GPS for backwards compatibility with configuration files without the .staticConfig.iWaveGpsExample section.

v1.0.8 (2023-09-25)

Bug fixes:

• Update AWS C++ SDK to v1.11.148, which includes an important bugfix for MQTT 3.1.1 clients.

Improvements:

• Add support for building as a library exported by CMake. Set the CMake option FWE_BUILD_EXECUTABLE to OFF, then use find_package(AwsIotFwe), ${AwsIotFwe_INCLUDE_DIR} and link with AwsIotFwe::AwsIotFwe.
• Non-functional source code improvements:
  • Simplify src/ folder structure, removing sub-namespaces & sub-libraries, and moving unit test files to test/unit/.
  • Correct #includes using include-what-you-use.
  • Move from compile-time mocking to link-time mocking of AWS C++ SDK using Google Mock.
• Fix GitHub CI: support separate Ubuntu package mirror file, fix caching of Android install files.
• Add support for shared libraries to dependency install scripts.
• Developer guide and demo script improvements:
  • Add clean up instructions.
  • Better support existing S3 buckets, with check for same region & ACLs being disabled, and allow setting of bucket policy.
  • Allow HTML generation of results for custom DBC files.

v1.0.7 (2023-08-01)

Features:

• Add Android Automotive (AAOS) support.
• Add experimental Greengrass V2 support

Bug fixes:

• Fix always saving data to disk when offline, even when configured not to in the campaign.
• Fix possible NullPointerException in Android app.

Improvements:

• Refactor persistent file handling, which now saves files under a subfolder called FWE_Persistency in the directory configured in the config file by persistencyPath. Now a separate file is saved for each payload file to be uploaded. An extra file PayloadMetadata.json is created containing metadata for these files, the schema for which can be found here.
• Reduce Android app minSdk to 21 (Android 5.0).
• Update AWS C++ SDK to v1.11.111.

Deprecation:

• Remove the experimental camera feature (-DFWE_FEATURE_CAMERA). This is unsupported and it was not being maintained.

v1.0.6 (2023-06-12)

Features:

• Add Android support, including shared library and demonstration app.

Improvements:

• Change from arn to sync_id for campaign_arn and document_arns, the sync_id being the ARN followed by the timestamp of the last update. The change is backwards compatible with older versions of FWE.
• Ubuntu package mirror from system used, rather than ports.ubuntu.com.
• Add root CA and inline credentials support to static config file.
• Add extra metrics for AWS SDK heap usage, used signal buffer, MQTT messages sent out.
• Add support for in-process ingestion of external GPS, CAN and OBD PID values when FWE is compiled as a shared library.
• Fix compiler warnings for armhf build.
• Update Protobuf to v3.21.12, AWS C++ SDK to v1.11.94.

v1.0.5 (2023-05-11)

Bugfixes:

• RemoteProfiler not always uploading logs

Improvements:

• Refactor Producer/Consumer architecture, removing the buffer and thread between the CANDataSource and the CANDataConsumer. The static config option socketCANBufferSize was therefore removed.
• Add documentation on how to use edge specific metrics.
• Change from arn to sync_id for all decoder manifest Protobuf fields, the sync_id being the ARN followed by the timestamp of the last update. The change is backwards compatible with older versions of FWE.
• Improve MISRA C++ 2008, and AUTOSAR C++ compliance.
• Updated CloudFormation templates to use IMDSv2.

v1.0.4 (2023-03-02)

Bugfixes:

• Fix OBD timers not being reset. If the decoder manifest is empty or DTCs are not collected the OBD PID or DTC timers were not reset, causing a 100% CPU and log spam with the following message [WARN ] [OBDOverCANModule::doWork]: [Request time overdue by -X ms].
• Support OBD2 PIDs ECU response in different order than requested. Also accept ECU response if not all requested PIDs are answered.
• Unsubscribe and disconnect from MQTT on shutdown: previously a message arriving during shutdown could cause a segmentation fault.

Improvements:

• Update to Ubuntu 20.04 for the development environment.
• Add flake8 checking of Python scripts.
• Improve GitHub CI caching.
• Improve MISRA C++ 2008, and AUTOSAR C++ compliance.
• Improve logging: macros used to automatically add file, line number and function.
• Improve unit test stability, by replacing sleep statements with 'wait until' loops.
• Removed redundant JSON output code from DataCollection* files.

Work in Progress:

• Support for signal datatypes other than double, including uint64_t and int64_t.

v1.0.3 (2023-01-09)

Features:

• Added OBD broadcast support to send functional rather than physical requests to ECUs to improve compatibility with a broader range of vehicles. This behavior does however increase CAN bus load. The config option broadcastRequests can be set to false to disable it.

Bugfixes:

• Fix CollectionSchemeManager and CollectionInspectionEngine to use monotonic clock This now makes check-in and data collection work even when the system time jumps. Please note that the timestamp present in check-in and collected data may still represent the system time, which means that newly collected data may be sent with a timestamp that is earlier than the previous sent data in case the system time is changed to some time in the past.

Improvements:

• Logs now show time in ISO 8601 format and UTC.
• Added optional config logColor for controlling ANSI colors in the logs. Valid values: Auto, Yes, No. Default value is Auto, which will make FWE try to detect whether stdout can interpret the ANSI color escape sequences.
• A containerized version of FWE is available from AWS ECR Public Gallery: https://gallery.ecr.aws/aws-iot-fleetwise-edge/aws-iot-fleetwise-edge.
• Improve CERT-CPP compliance.
• Improve quick start guide and demo script.
• Clarify the meaning of the startBit.

v1.0.2 (2022-11-28)

Bugfixes:

• Fix Timer to use a monotonic clock instead of system time. This ensures the Timer will correctly measure the elapsed time when the system time changes.
• Use std::condition_variable::wait_until instead of wait_for to avoid the bug when wait_for uses system time.
• Fix extended id not working with cloud.
• Handle SIGTERM signal. Now when stopping FWE with systemctl or kill without additional args, it should gracefully shutdown.
• Fix bug in canigen.py when signal offset is greater than zero.

Improvements:

• Pass signalIDsToCollect to CANDecoder by reference. This was causing unnecessary allocations/deallocations, impacting the performance on high load.
• Add binary distribution of executables and container images built using GitHub actions.
• Add support for DBC files with the same signal name in different CAN messages to cloud demo script.
• Improve CERT-CPP compliance.

v1.0.1 (2022-11-03)

License Update:

• License changed from Amazon Software License 1.0 to Apache License Version 2.0

Security Updates:

• Update protcol buffer version used in customer build script to v3.21.7

Features:

• OBD module will automatic detect ECUs for both 11-bit and 29-bit. ECU address is no longer hardcoded.
• Support CAN-FD frames with up to 64 bytes
• Add an CustomDataSource for the IWave GPS module (NMEA output)
• iWave G26 TCU tutorial
• Renesas R-Car S4 setup guide

Bugfixes:

• Fix name of persistencyUploadRetryIntervalMs config. The dev guide wasn't including the Ms suffix and the code was mistakenly capitalizing the first letter.
• Don't use SocketCAN hardware timestamp as default but software timestamp. Hardware timestamp not being a unix epoch timestamp leads to problems.
• install-socketcan.sh checks now if can-isotp is already loaded.
• The not equal operator =! in expression is now working as expected
• Fix kernel timestamps in 32-bit systems

Improvements:

• Added two extra steps for quick demo: suspending campaigns and resuming campaigns

v1.0.0 (2022-09-27)

Bugfixes:

• Fixed an OBD bug in which software requests more than six PID ranges in one message. The new revision request the extra range in a separate message.
• Fixed a bug in CANDataSource in which software didn't handle CAN message with extended ID correctly.

Improvements:

• Remove the HTML version of developer guide.
• Remove source code in S3 bucket. The S3 bucket will only be used to host quick demo CloudFormation.
• Remove convertToPeculiarFloat function from DataCollectionProtoWriter.
• Set default checkin period to 2-min in static-config.json. The quick demo will still use 5 second as checkin period.
• Update FleetWise CLI Model to GA release version.
• Update Customer Demo to remove service-linked role creation for FleetWise Account Registration.

v0.1.4 (2022-08-29)

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug in which software will continue requesting OBD-II PIDs or decoding CAN messages after all collection schemes removed.

Improvements:

• OBDOverCANModule will only request PIDs that are to be collected by Decoder Dictionary and supported by ECUs.
• OBDDataDecoder will validate the OBD PID response Length before decoding. If software detect response length mismatch with OBD Decoder Manifest, program will do 1) Log warning; 2) Discard the entire response.
• OBDDataDecoder will only decode the payload with the PIDs that previously requested.
• Improve OBD logging to log CAN ISOTP raw bytes for better debugging

v0.1.3 (2022-08-03)

• Fixed a bug that potentially caused a crash when two collection schemes were using the same Signal Ids in the condition with different minimum sampling intervals

Improvements:

• Signal Ids sent over Protobuf from the cloud can now be spread across the whole 32 bit range, not only 0-50.000
• Security improvement to pass certificate and private key by content rather than by file path
• Improvement to Google test CMake configuration
• Clang tidy coverage improvements
• Improvement to AWS SDK memory allocation with change to custom thread-safe allocator
