Faster Development and Test of Automotive Network Software Using Virtual Hardware ECUs

20-Minute Tech Talk

Available Until: October 12, 2017

Electrical and electronic architecture evolution is having a direct impact on automotive networks. When it comes to in-vehicle networks, Ethernet is the fastest growing network. With the increased software context and connectivity via Ethernet, the required testing effort is continuously growing. As a result, development teams need to accelerate the development and test of Ethernet connected ECUs.

This 20-minute Tech Talk reviews automotive connectivity, provides background information on Ethernet AVB, and presents how a virtual hardware ECU test bench enables earlier and faster system testing, resulting in higher quality system and software. It also provides the opportunity for the audience to ask questions.
