Embedded SW dev platform for autonomous vehicles offers total solution
The platform is designed to provide on-board computer technologies to harness the continuous stream of information produced by the high-tech components being designed into increasingly autonomous vehicles. Combining the ISO 26262-certified INTEGRITY RTOS, ITTIA DB SQL database, Embedded Cryptographic Toolkits, and Device Lifecycle Management System and Embedded User Interface, the platform provides everything needed to develop, manufacture, monitor, and maintain complex in-vehicle systems.
With this total solution, real-time information is captured, stored, and accessed on the vehicle and is simultaneously made available to remote facilities for maintenance and troubleshooting, while at the same time remaining secure against tampering and privacy invasion. The core technologies were designed to meet the demand for data-driven intelligence while maintaining safe operation, deterministic behavior, and secure communication.
The included UI framework enables automotive designers and embedded engineers to work in parallel. The on-board application software is responsible for correlating data collected from many different sensors, which can be accessed locally or remotely. When investigating a failure, a technician has access to a large volume of data, potentially spanning many years.
This information is accessed securely through a web browser or mobile tablet application by leveraging ITTIA DB SQL shared access and replication technologies; the data is secured at rest and over the air by the INTEGRITY RTOS and ISS Cryptographic Toolkits provisioned during manufacturing with keys by the Device Lifecycle Management System. Parallel tasks can access the vehicle database even while new sensor readings are continuously collected in the background.
