Fleet Edge Compute Module Description & User Guide
Rivian Installations, V1.0, September 2021
Purpose
This document covers the Amazon Fleet Edge compute Module as installed in a
Rivian vehicle.
Fleet Edge Overview
Fleet Edge is an edge compute system for deployment on Amazon delivery
vehicles. It provides an in-vehicle platform for video and position data
acquisition and onboard analysis. The system is designed as a flexible edge-
compute platform and can run various programs. The system has LTE and Wi-Fi
connections for over-the-air updates and data offload Bluetooth for connection
to local mobile devices, and GPS for location measurement. 5 cameras are
connected to the computing system: a Forward facing camera, a driver-facing
camera, a cargo-facing camera, and two exterior side cameras.
This system is made of multiple hardware modules which are installed during
the production of the vehicle. It is not directly accessible by the vehicle
operator and has no direct user interface.
The primary function is on vehicle data acquisition, data processing for
privacy and bandwidth reduction, and automated uploading of this data to cloud
storage.
Hardware Overview
The installation consists of a compute module, a camera processor module, a Wi-Fi/LTE antenna, a GPS splitter to share GPS signals with the host vehicle antenna, and five cameras.

Compute Module
The primary computer for the Fleet Edge system. Includes compute, disk
storage, a GPS receiver, LTE, WiFi, and Bluetooth modems, as well as Ethernet,
CAN, USB, and HDMI connections. Not all interfaces are used in standard
installations. In Rivian installations, the data connection is made to the
vehicle via the dual wire automotive Ethernet connection.
Powered directly from the 12V vehicle system, this module is connected to both
permanent power and a switched ignition circuit. The device powers on with
ignition, and remains on for some time after ignition power is removed, in
order to enable continuity between deliveries and for a controlled shut down.
Includes a simple LED screen with two 7-segment displays to show high-level
status, which is used for basic troubleshooting.
The system is mounted with the connectors down in order to limit liquids or
other objects from entering the enclosure. A plastic cap on the side opposite
from connectors also limits intrusions from above when installed.
This module is a component in the system, installed during the production of
the vehicle. For primary functionality, connections to other devices are
required.
Approximate dimensions are 353mm x 273mm x 93mm and weight is 7kg.

General Component Locations
Built-in Diagnostics
The Compute Module includes a built-in screen that indicates the state of the
software and hardware and is the initial troubleshooting step. This is a
7-segment green LED display, with two digits. It is important to read this in
the correct orientation in order to not mistake the code being displayed.
Early in boot immediately after the power application, the display shows low-
level boot debugging information. This is not covered here. Wait for a code to
be stable before using the table below.
After the ignition signal is removed, the system begins a countdown timer.
This is indicated on the display as well, as a hex number that changes once a
second and counts up.
As this device is installed in an enclosed space in the Rivian vehicle,
observing this display requires the removal of access panels, and a mirror or
other observation techniques may be required.
