Due to concerns about the negative impacts of powering vehicles using fossil fuel and the future availability of fossil fuel, there has been an increased focus on electric vehicles. However, current electric vehicle energy efficiency is a key problem as these vehicles are not as efficient as fossil-fueled vehicles. One way of decreasing a vehicle’s energy consumption is to reduce the weight of the vehicle, while still ensuring the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Controller Area Network (CAN) systems have been used in vehicles to realize real-time applications, however the low peak data rates of CAN have begun to limit the applications that can be realized. This bachelor’s thesis project focuses on secure communication within a vehicle using Ethernet. Additionally, the use of Power over Ethernet can be used for powering some of the network attached devices within the vehicle. The goal is to reduce the number of components and the weight of the vehicle while continuing to ensure the security and reliability of the communication – even when the network grows in size (either in physical size or in number of connected devices). This thesis shows that an Ethernet based system can serve as a possible replacement candidate for the CAN system due to its low latencies and high bandwidth. Ethernet is also a very scalable system with none of the limitations that a CAN system have. / Den negativa påverkan av fossila bränslen har de senaste årtionden haft en negativ på planeten, mängden fossila bränslen över världen konsumeras även i en högre takt än vad som produceras. Därför har fokusen för att finna förnybara energi källor som både är effektiva och inte påverkar miljön på ett negativt sätt ökat. Därför är elbilar en viktig del i konverteringen av enheter som drivs av fossila bränslen till förnybara energikällor. Ett av problemen i en elbil är att energi konsumptionen är inte lika effektiv som fossila bränslen inom bil industrin. Ett sätt att sänka energi konsumptionen är att minska mängden komponenter inom en bil för att minska på vikten, utan att påverka säkerheten och tillförlitligheten. Tidigare har man använt sig av ett CAN system för att försäkra sig om systemet fungerar felfritt i realtid, problematiken med detta system är att när nätverket ökar i storlek så sätter de fysiska begränsningarna av detta system stop för den garanterade säkerheten. Detta kandidatexamensarbete kommer att fokusera på den interna kommunikationen i en elbil med hjälp av ett ethernet baserat kommunkations system över CAN systemet. Power over Ethernet tekinken kommer att tillämpas för de systemen som kan drivas av detta system. Målet är att reducera antalet komponenter som behövs och att garantera säkerheten och tillförlitligheten av den interna kommunikationen när nätverket av komponenter ökar i storlek. Det här kandidatarbetet visar att Ethernet kan ersätta det nuvarande CAN systemet ef-tersom att Ethernet erbjuder låga latenser och hög bandbredd. Detta arbete visar även att Et-hernet är väldigt skalbart och har inte begränsingarna som ett CAN system har.

The great interest in monitoring everything around us has increased the number of sensors that we utilize in our daily lives. Furthermore, the evolution of wireless technologies has facilitated their ubiquity. Moreover, is in locations such as homes and offices where exploitation of the data from these sensors has been more important. For example, we want to know if the temperature in our home is adequate, otherwise we want to turn on the heating (or cooling) system automatically and we want to be able to monitor the environment of the home or office remotely. The knowledge from these sensors and the ability to actuate devices, summon human assistance, and adjust contracts for electrical power, heating, cooling, etc. can facilitate a myriad of ways to improve the quality of our life and potentially even reduce resource consumption. This master‘s thesis project created a gateway that sniffs wireless sensor traffic in order to collect data from existing sensors and to provide this data as input to various services. These sensors work in the 868 MHz band. Although these wireless sensors are frequently installed in homes and offices, they are generally not connected to any network. We designed a gateway capable of identifying these wireless sensors and decoding the received messages, despite the fact that these messages may use a vendor‘s proprietary protocol. This gateway consists of a microcontroller, a radio transceiver (868-915 MHz), and an Ethernet controller. This gateway enables us to take advantage of all the data that can be captured. Thinking about these possibilities, simultaneously acquiring data from these various sensors could open a wide range of alternatives in different fields, such as home automation, industrial controlling… Not only can the received data be interesting by itself; but when different sensors are located in the same environment we can exploit this data using sensor fusion. For example, time differences in arrival and differences in signal strength as measured t multiple receivers could be used to locate objects. The final aim of this thesis project is to support diverse applications that could be developed using the new gateway. This gateway creates a bridge between the information that is already around us and our ability to realize many new potential services. A wide range of opportunities could be realized by exploiting the wireless sensors we already have close to us. / Det stora intresset för att övervaka allt omkring oss har ökat antalet sensorer som vi använder i vårt dagliga liv. Dessutom har utvecklingen av trådlösa tekniker underlättat de har stor utbredning. Dessutom är på platser som hem och kontor där utnyttjandet av data från dessa sensorer har varit viktigare. Till exempel vill vi veta om temperaturen i vårt hem är tillräcklig, annars vill vi slå på värmen (eller kyla) automatiskt och vi vill kunna övervaka miljön i hemmet eller på kontoret på distans. Data från dessa sensorer och förmåga att aktivera enheter kalla mänsklig assistans och justera avtal för el, värme, kyla, osv. kan underlätta en myriad av olika sätt att förbättra kvaliteten på våra liv och potentiellt även minska resursförbrukningen. Detta examensarbete syftar till att sniffa trådlösa sensorn trafik i syfte att samla in data från befintliga sensorer och att tillhandahålla sådan information som underlag till olika tjänster. Dessa sensorer arbetar i 868 MHz-bandet. Även om dessa ofta installeras i hem och kontor, är de i allmänhet inte ansluten till något nätverk. För att förverkliga vårt mål kommer vi att utforma en gateway som kan identifiera dessa trådlösa sensorer och avkoda den mottagna meddelanden, trots att dessa meddelanden kan använda en leverantör egenutvecklade protokoll. Denna brygga består av en mikrokontroller, en sändtagare (868 till 915 MHz), och en Ethernet-styrenhet. Gateway bör göra det möjligt för oss att dra nytta av alla de uppgifter som möjligen kan fångas. Funderar om dessa möjligheter, samtidigt insamling av data från dessa olika sensorer kan öppna ett brett spektrum av alternativ i olika områden, såsom hem automation, industriell kontrollerande ... Inte bara kan de mottagna uppgifterna vara intressant i sig självt, men när olika sensorer finns i samma miljö kan vi utnyttja detta data med hjälp av sensor fusion. Till exempel skulle tidsskillnader i ankomst och skillnader i signalstyrka uppmätt med flera mottagare användas för att lokalisera föremål. Det slutliga målet med denna avhandling är att stödja olika applikationer som skulle kunna utvecklas med hjälp av utformade gateway. Denna gateway kommer att skapa en initial brygga mellan all information omkring oss och vår förmåga att förverkliga många tjänsteleverantörer möjligheter. Ett brett utbud av möjligheter kan realiseras genom att utnyttja de trådlösa sensorerna vi redan har nära till oss.

The IEEE Power over Ethernet (PoE) protocol is currently the most used standard for allowing Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) to distribute power to Powered Devices (PD) through standard Ethernet cables, permitting devices to be added to a network without needing extra power cables.There exist many PSE manager circuits which can be used to easily distribute power to a handful of PDs, but a problem arises when more are desired, since very few of these circuits can communicate with other circuits, and thus can't coordinate power distribution with each other.The goal of this work was to discover the feature set of some popular PSE managers, discover any real-time requirements they may demand of a host, and to then use this knowledge to create an API which could coordinate multiple PSE managers to handle power distribution.The work was carried out with a study of three PSE managers (PD69200, LTC4291, and TPS23880), as well as study and experimentation of the real-time requirements. After this a series of different architectures were created and evaluated using a combination of analysis, questionnaires, and prototype implementation. The work resulted in a software architecture which allows any number of PSE managers of any model to be used simultaneously in a system, with minimal-to-zero considerations needing to be made for different PSE managers. This allows the system hardware to be designed free of any software considerations, and allows the user to operate the system similarly regardless of the underlying architecture.

This study deals with power supply for network devices using existing structured cabling. Various power supplies are analysed including their limitations and also deals with measuring of the consumed energy. The outcome is 24-port passive PoE injector for remote power supply of network equipment. It's suitable namely for remote devices which lacks built-in PoE support as these do not need major modifications (using passive injection). Power options including current measurement may be done via administrative web interface.

This thesis deals with design and implementation of multi-channel audio signal streaming via local network. The aim was to choose suitable processor for the transmission of up to 32 channels of audio signal, which will be used for implementation. Also the low-latency ASIO driver was studied and was used to provide timestamps for synchronization. The transmission protocol was designed for signaling and for the real time stream. The actual transmission is provided by TCP protocol. In conclusion, I created the application for development board with choosen MCU. Finally whole solution was tested with real data.

Most major cell phone manufacturers have been releasing cell phones equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC). At the same time there is also increasing use of mobile payments and user verification with the use of the NFC technology. These trends indicate both the increasing popularity and great potential for increased use of NFC in today’s society. As a result NFC has a huge potential to simplify our everyday tasks, ranging from paying for items to accessing our office or home. In this context we will focus on using NFC together with a Power over Ethernet (PoE) powered circuit board and NFC reader to realize a simple system for granting access to open a locked door. One of the purposes of this realization is to explore what services can be realized when such a system is connected to the home/building network and connected to the Internet. A second purpose is to learn how to use network attached devices, as the concept of the Internet of Things is considered by many to be a driving force in the next generation Internet. This project uses very in expensive and low power hardware, as the number of devices is potentially very large and thus in order to minimize the technology’s impact on the environment we must consider how to minimize the power used – while maintaining the desired user functionality. This bachelor’s thesis project made it possible for a PoE powered circuit board containing a MSP430 microcontroller to work along with a NFC reader, which was connected through the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). We hope that the end result of this project will lead to a simpler life by exploiting this increasingly ubiquitous technology. For example, a homeowner could send a one-time key to a repair person who is coming to fix their sink. Similarly a homeowner could send a key to their neighbor which is valid for two weeks so that their neighbor could come into their home to water the plants while they are away on vacation. Another example is lending your apartment key to a friend while you are out of town. / Det blir allt vanligare med närfältskommunikation (NFC) i dagens samhälle, mobiltelefons-tillverkarna börjar utveckla nya telefoner med NFC teknik inbyggd, samtidigt som användningen av NFC ökat. Det sker även en utveckling inom mobila betalningar och användar-verifiering med användning av NFC, då NFC förenklar detta. Med detta sagt kommer vi att arbeta med detta i detta kandidatexamens-arbete där vi fokuserar på NFC samt Power over Ethernet som använder MSP430 chippet som kärna. Med dessa enheter kombinerade kommer en enkel rörelse med ett NFC kort över en NFC läsare som sedan skall ge åtkomst till en låst dörr. Detta i större kombination med en Internetuppkoppling kunna ge ägaren möjligheten att kunna skicka ut dörrnycklar till andra användare. I detta kandidatexamensarbete gjorde vi det möjligt för ett PoE kretskort bestående av ett MPS430 mikroprocessor att samarbeta med en NFC läsare genom SPI protokollet. Genom att utveckla detta projekt hoppas vi att vårt slutresultat leder till en enklare delning av nycklar med hjälp av denna teknologi.
