On April 16th, Elektrobit announced EB zoneo GatewayCore– ‘s first software product to support, configure and integrate a new generation of modern microcontroller hardware accelerators for advanced automotive electronic / electrical architecture (based on the widely adopted Classic AUTOSAR standard).
The new software, now available at Infineon’s AURIX ™TC4x, simplifies the configuration of complex gateway use cases, saving time for automakers and first-tier suppliers while reducing integration effort and costs.
EB zoneo GatewayCore effectively eliminates the gap between the current hardware-related accelerator and Classic AUTOSAR.
This tool provides flexible support for the most complex routing scenarios.
This hardware-software integration method not only significantly improves the delay of information processing, but also reduces the CPU load and power consumption of network-related tasks.
The newly launched software was developed jointly with leading hardware suppliers such as Infineon In terms of performance improvement, EB zoneo GatewayCore can significantly accelerate the routing speed of TC4x controller local area network (CAN) to CAN or CAN to IEEE1722 with zero CPU load latency on Infineon AURIX ™TC4x.
It is realized through the hardware module of Infineon and the EB zoneo optimal combination scheme of Elektrobit.
Lars Wemme, vice president of product line for self-driving assist systems, chassis and EE architecture of Infineon Technology, said, “the combination of EB zoneo GatewayCore and Infineon’s AURIX ™TC4x provides an opportunity for automakers to develop a new generation of on-board networks.
Together with Elektrobit, we save time and costs for automakers and tier one suppliers, enabling them to focus their resources on other aspects of vehicle development while achieving a faster and more efficient network.
Our routing engine can completely reduce the burden of data routing in the MCU kernel while preserving application code resources for customers.
” Infineon’s AURIX ™TC4x family of microcontrollers goes beyond the limits of automotive microcontrollers to achieve safe and reliable processing and is designed for next-generation electric travel, ADAS, Emax E architecture and affordable artificial intelligence applications.
The first batch of AURIX ™TC4x samples have been used in the designs of major customers.
Mike Robertson, managing director of Elektrobit, said, “traditionally, different tools have to be used to configure hardware-related parts and underlying software-related parts of the AUTOSAR environment.
” “with EB zoneo GatewayCore and Infineon’s AURIX ™TC4x, we have simplified the entire process and made it easier for automakers to introduce new car features that require a high-speed, reliable and safe in-car network.
