A key aspect of the Software-Defined Vehicle is the way end-customers will ‘interact’ with it, driven by new EE architectures. One of the main architecture trends is the zonal architecture which goal is to reduce number of ECUs. This reduction of ECUs will introduce a consolidation of functions on the same SoC. This consolidation then imposes the use of virtualization. The talk will show how a strong technical collaboration between a SoC vendor and a RTOS vendor can
• provide a simpler software solution when using the microcontroller virtualization features
• address the key technical challenges faced by a customer using a hypervisor on a microcontroller
