Based on ST's AutoDevKit™ development initiative designed to help automotive engineers deal with the increasing complexity of car electronics, our AVAS evaluation solution is a low-cost all-in-one kit that uses two different modules controlling two different speakers.

Offering real-time monitoring and control functions in both Play and Mute modes, this scalable solution includes ready-to-use driver source code for entry-level developers.

The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) with AutoDevKit consists of a single AEK-AUD-C1D9031 board containing the SPC58 microcontroller, two FDA903D Class-D automotive audio amplifiers and the L9916 transceiver for the CAN interface, as well as the necessary speakers.

Two sliders are also included to test volume and engine RPM sound changes.

The SPC58 2B MCU Discovery board monitors and controls the two FDA903D power amplifiers via the I²C and I²S serial interfaces and its GPIOs.

It is also possible to use an external microcontroller to control more modules in different positions around the car.

The AVAS solution evaluation kit is fully supported by a complete software ecosystem, which includes the SPC5Studio development environment, SPC5 debugging software for Windows (SPC5-UDESTK-SW) and the AutoDevKit library plugin (STSW-AUTODEVKIT) for SPC5Studio containing the FDA903D power amplifier driver as well as example application code.
