Siemens EDA has joined Elektrobit’s Product Compatibility Program to specifically strengthen interoperability between virtual development platforms and automotive operating systems. The focus is on connecting the Architecture Native Acceleration (ANA) developed by Siemens to EB corbos Linux, which is widely used in software-centric vehicle architectures.
ANA significantly accelerates the simulation of application and operating system software on virtual system-on-chip (SoC) platforms. The solution allows complete software stacks to be realistically validated before real hardware is available – including safety-relevant and non-safety-relevant functionalities in the sense of a mixed criticality concept. This is a key requirement criterion for future SDV architectures.
In conjunction with the PAVE360 simulation environment from Siemens, an end-to-end workflow is created that makes system behavior analyzable on several levels of abstraction. This includes functional interactions, timing behavior and the interaction of software with digital twins of the target hardware.
The integration into the Elektrobit ecosystem aims to significantly shorten development cycles, accelerate the validation of complex software architectures and enable early validation in the system context. The combined solution supports OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in systematically tackling increasing software complexity while shortening development times. (oe)
