NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- New offering helps customers develop
safety-critical automotive systems that are more secure and enables
advanced vehicle applications such as ADAS and autonomous
driving.
- Wind River automotive software
solutions address new demands rising from growth of IoT and
connected car.
- Wind River showcasing latest automotive
technologies at SAE World Congress in booth 265 during April
21-23.
Wind River®, a world leader in delivering software for
intelligent connected systems, has introduced Automotive Profile
for VxWorks, AUTOSAR-compliant software to help customers develop
ISO 26262 certifiable automotive safety-critical applications such
as advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) to piloted and autonomous
driving.
In the age of the Internet of Things (IoT), automotive software
and systems are becoming more complex and connectivity is expected
to be ubiquitous. As software-driven applications become more
prevalent in vehicles, keeping automotive systems secure and
tamper-proof is important for vehicle and occupant safety. For
example, through partitioning, companies can consolidate multiple
vehicle controls with different levels of safety criticality onto a
single hardware platform while maintaining their time- and
space-based separation and isolation. This introduces the potential
for reductions in cost and weight in vehicles, and may help
mitigate risk of attack or interference to other software
components all without compromising vehicle safety or functional
performance.
Automotive Profile for VxWorks enriches the latest version of
VxWorks® real-time operating system (RTOS) to help address the
growing needs for safe, secure, and certifiable software-driven
ADAS and autonomous driving applications.
Key features include the following:
- Safety partitioning capabilities that
can help customers build products that are ISO 26262-certifiable up
to ASIL D consolidation of multiple applications with different
levels of safety criticality onto a single hardware platform.
- Security capabilities for the connected
car, such as secure boot to help mitigate the risk of tampering or
execution of unauthorized code and access and malicious
attacks.
- Streamlined AUTOSAR integration to
support standardized connectivity and functional interfaces,
enabling simpler and faster interoperability and integration.
- Support for consolidation of a large
number of software-driven functions on a smaller number of more
powerful electronic control units (ECUs) to help lower costs,
space, weight, and power consumption.
“The future of the automotive experience can only come to life
by relying on advanced software platforms. Vehicle functions are
converging within the car to form a seamless interconnected
experience that ties the driver to the world around them. In this
complex scenario, the role of software systems is more important
than ever,” said Michael Krutz, senior vice president of automotive
solutions at Wind River. “Enabling this kind of transformational
change has been a cornerstone of Wind River’s decades of embedded
software leadership. Drawing from our rich technology heritage and
expertise in industries such as aerospace and defense, our new
automotive offering is merely the tip of the iceberg to how we will
continue to enable this transformation in the automotive
industry.”
