They’ll do pretty much whatever we ask them to do.

To try to formalise this, so everyone can see, I’ve created a production/qc/production_notes.txt file with the production notes that will be given to the China side. This should document all the production and QC steps they should do.

What I have at the moment is:

********************************************************************************
** TOOLS
********************************************************************************

1] DB9 CAN Bus QC tool

   DB9 Female with:
    * Pins 2, 4, and 6 connected (all CAN-L signals)
    * Pins 5, 7, and 8 connected (all CAN-H signals)
    * R120 between pins 2 and 5
    * External 12V power connector
      * GND on pin 3
      * +12V on pin 9

********************************************************************************
** PRODUCTION STEPS
********************************************************************************

1] Default wifi AP and module passwords

   OVMS> config set wifi.ap OVMS <serialnumber>
   OVMS> config set password module <serialnumber>

   Where <serialnumber> is the serial number from the label on the enclosure.

I think that should set both the module default and auto wifi AP passwords to the serial number of the module. That will be on a label on the underside of the module.

You are correct: this is a connected car, with possibly disastrous consequences should somebody malicious gain access. Best to err on the side of caution.

Regards, Mark.

I’ve asked the China side. Specifically:

  1. Can you print serial number stickers for these modules? I can provide design - and we can print a large batch.
  2. Then, during manufacturing, have one step to enter serial number as password into module, like:
    1. Flash
    2. Connect terminal
    3. QC checks
    4. New step to type: config set wifi.ap OVMS <serialnumber>

Just to double check: so we won't set the module password, only the AP pass phrase?

Has setting the module password any drawbacks?

I'm asking because I assume the SMS channel -as soon as implemented- will also provide command access, which would be open by default as well without a module password.

Setting the module password would secure the webserver as well.

Michael
