README
README.mdRAMN
RAMN (Resistant Automotive Miniature Network) is a miniature CAN/CAN-FD testbed of four Electronic Control Units (ECUs) consiting solely of Printed Circuit Boards. The ECUs can be programmed to emulate the same network traffic as PASTA, another project from our team. RAMN is powered over USB and can be recognized as a standard CAN adapter. It can be connected in closed-loop with the autonomous driving simulator CARLA. What happens to the virtual vehicle has an impact on the physical CAN/CAN-FD bus, and vice versa. RAMN can be expanded with many stackable expansions, ranging from external quadSPI memories to Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs).
Please check the Documentation for demonstrations and details.
Fabricating RAMN boards
This project is open-source and RAMN boards can be fabricated by most PCB assembly prototyping services.
We have setup 're-orders' at PCBWay. Please see the docs 'PCB Ordering' for more details. You can also request a prototype from any PCB manufacturer, using the Gerber files and BOM in the Hardware folder.
Feel free to contact us if you need assistance to fabricate or sell RAMN boards.
Because component availability is subject to change, we are periodically updating the hardware. The original RAMN hardware data is available in misc/RAMN_V1_reference_PCB.zip, and is recommended for academic purposes.
Project structure
Hardware folder
Contains design files, from KiCAD project files to Gerber files and BOM.
Scripts folder
Contains various scripts to interact with the ECUs:
- Driving Simulator
- Diagnostics (UDS/KWP2000/XCP)
- Hardware Bootloader
- Connection to a virtual CAN Network
Firmware folder
Contains firmware source code for RAMN's ECUs.

Questions
How big is the Pods panel PCB?
It measures 233.6 × 56.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pods panel use?
191 parts, built around the STP08CP05XT, SK14EG13 and SKRHADE010. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Pods panel KiCad files?
From the ToyotaInfoTech/RAMN repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/build/pods_panel.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pods panel design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ToyotaInfoTech before reusing the design.
