Partnership - ThunderSoft
Accelerate Your Software-Defined Vehicle with Pre-Integrated Multi-Domain Middleware
ETAS and ThunderSoft unite to address SDV integration challenges, offering a ready-to-deploy, pre-integrated middleware foundation. This synergy combines ETAS's embedded software and cybersecurity expertise with ThunderSoft's comprehensive SDV platform, hypervisors, and automotive OS capabilities.
Challenges
Platform proliferation
Securely and consistently integrating hardware and software from multiple vendors across diverse SoC platforms is resource intensive.
Middleware complexity
Complex inter-domain coordination across functions like ADAS/AD and digital cockpit diverts engineering time from innovation.
Time-to-Market traps
New platforms and features frequently force development teams to restart, leading to costly delays and hindering rapid iteration.
Reliability & maintainability risks
Heterogeneous ecosystems create potential stability issues, security vulnerabilities, and uncontrollable maintenance costs over the vehicle's lifecycle.
How ETAS & ThunderSoft Tackle These Challenges
ETAS and ThunderSoft jointly deliver a unified, validated, and ready-to-deploy foundation: our pre-integrated multi-domain middleware for SDVs. This solution is specifically designed to meet the demands of modern centralized and zonal E/E architectures, empowering your teams to focus on vehicle differentiation.
- Architected for SDVs: Built from the ground up to support complex centralized and zonal E/E architectures, enabling higher ADAS levels and advanced automated driving.
- Domain Harmony: Ensures smooth operation and interaction between previously siloed functions through seamless, robust inter-domain communication.
- Hardware-Agnostic: Offers consistent abstraction and portability across diverse high-performance SoC platforms, providing hardware flexibility and avoiding vendor lock-in.
