A delicate system called an embedded control system (ECS) gives a particular control function to a bigger system into which it is integrated.
The design of embedded control systems can be quite different due to the range of control objectives, and usually results in ad hoc designs.
The electronics revolution has affected various aspects of vehicle design, such as fuel combustion and power train crash protection.
Utilising embedded systems in vehicles more effectively can help reduce emissions while boosting the ability to offer features for system monitoring that consumers want.
Adaptive cruise control, airbags, telematics, traction control, in-vehicle entertainment systems, emission control systems, parking systems, navigation systems, collision sensors, climate control, radio, anti-lock braking systems, and other systems are among the most frequently used embedded systems in vehicles.
The airbag control unit, which has a microcontroller, issues the commands that this system follows. The battery provides electricity to the controller. When an accident is detected by the collision sensor, the airbag control unit receives a signal, which it processes to evaluate the severity of the impact.
The global Automotive embedded controllers market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The new AURIX TC4x microcontroller (MCU) from InfineonTechnologies AG now has the first automotive-grade, embedded, real-time operating system (OS) and hypervisor, according to Elektrobit.
Next-generation vehicle development is sped up thanks to the EB tresos AutoCore OS and new EB tresos Embedded Hypervisor, which make it easier for OEMs and Tier 1s to create and deploy automotive E/E architectures based on the AUTOSAR Classic standard.
Car manufacturers are consolidating ECUs to increase functionality and applications while reducing the overall number of ECUs to conserve energy as a result of the transition to domain and zone-based E/E architectures.
Utilising EB Tresos Embedded Hypervisor spanning several virtual machines on a single MCU, applications can be merged. As a result, innovation is accelerated and new customer demands are met.
An embedded, multi-core, real-time operating system that implements the AUTOSAR standard and all of its scalability classes is called the EB tresos AutoCore OS. The Infineon AURIX TC4x MCU’s novel virtualization features can be used by the EB tresos Embedded Hypervisor to run several OS and AUTOSAR stack instances concurrently on a single MCU, saving money and lowering update efforts.
It permits a programme, such as on-board diagnostics (OBD), to be run independently from other programmes on the MCU to prevent recurring homologation fees and delays should that programme need upgrades.
According to Senior Director Software, Partner and Ecosystem Management at Infineon, “Given the increased vehicle complexity, they have focused significant effort on cooperating with best-of-breed software partners.” Elektrobit has been a trusted partner of ours for a very long time.
