How to Achieve Seamless Deployment of Level 3 Virtual ECUs for Automotive Digital Twins

SPONSORED BY:

Driven by the trend towards software-defined vehicles (SDV), more complex software stacks are now being integrated into innovative automotive E/E architectures. Today the early integration testing of automotive software is already supported by using virtual ECUs (vECUs). However, the production basic software (BSW) is often not included because the virtualization of the hardware-specific microcontroller abstraction layer (MCAL) requires a very high modeling effort. This 30-minute Webinar will explore a new technology for automated generation of Level 3 vECUs to support comprehensive testing for AUTOSAR Classic Platform (CP).

This event will include:

  • The benefits of using vECUs for BSW testing such as cost savings, faster turn-around time, and better debug capabilities
  • The features and capabilities of the new technologies and how they simplify the process of configuring and generating Level 3 vECUs
  • Live demonstrations for a hands-on understanding of how to use the new technologies to optimize BSW testing in AUTOSAR development projects

A Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
