Overview
The virtual ECU Creator (virtualization solution for ECUs powered by Continental) is part of the Continental Automotive Edge (CAEdge) framework, which runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). By using cloud-based vECUs, new applications or software features for software defined vehicles (SDV) can be built by OEMs faster, more efficiently and in a more agile way. That allows future developments to be tested and debugged continuously by engineers within the cloud, at the same time as hardware development and production cycles. The virtual ECU Creator brings together Continental high performance computers, and Electronic Control Units, with Elektrobit production proven software for Classic and Adaptive AUTOSAR. Several ECUs are simulated to run Application software functions and their interactions. Targets to test are Automotive SW functions, SW modules, ECU communication, Network/cloud services With the virtual ECU Creator, CAEdge users can configure their vECU choosing from a range of virtualized hardware and software for base tooling and simulation, covering typical microcontroller based ECUs, Zone Controllers or High-Performance Computers. CAEdge vECU Creator is technically and commercially available, and also has an approved Foundational Technical Review (FTR) from AWS.
Highlights
- Risk reduction by separation/ decoupling from SW-architecture validation and system validation
- Faster Start of Production (SOP) due to shortening of development time. vECU helps in parallelising HW & SW development
- Cost Savings: Save costs for samples, and for Hardware in Loop (HiL) testing through the use of parallel virtual tests.
