Debug specialist Lauterbach has joined the SOAFEE Special Interest Group to radically simplify and speed up software defined vehicles (SDV) development.
SOAFEE, founded by ARM in 2021, is an industry-led collaboration between companies across the automotive and technology sectors. The consortium has created a seed development platform for seamless cloud to automotive edge software development with an ecosystem of commercial partners across the automotive software stack.
This is intended to simplify the path from development to deployment and speed up software projects. For example, ARM and Panasonic Automotive Systems have worked together to create a software stack through the SOAFEE Scalable Open Architecture For the Embedded Edge initiative. This will see the VirtIO device virtualization framework to decouple automotive software development from hardware through standard interfaces for Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS).
Lauterbach’s TRACE32 debug and trace tools can debug the entire SDV software stack on all current and future automotive SoCs and over the entire lifecycle from a virtual electronic control unit (ECU) to real silicon.
Lauterbach, based in Germany, has also worked with ARM and Corellium to use the TRACE32 tools in virtual models of the ARM high performance Neoverse V3AE cores and the Coretex-R82AE real time cores for developing software before the silicon is available.
“Whether it is electrification, driver assistance technologies, or software-defined vehicles (SDV), our TRACE32 debug and trace tools help developers deliver innovation faster and prepare for the road ahead.”, says Norbert Weiss, Managing Director at Lauterbach.
