Automotive ECU Software Development Platform

See also: VLAB ESL Solutions for Automotive

In collaboration with leading Automotive corporations, VLAB reflects a good understanding of the needs of automotive ECU software developers.

Typically, design and validation of automotive ECU software involves:

  • Prototyping software architecture and evaluation of suitable hardware platforms
  • Application level software development on top of AUTOSAR or MCAL libraries, often first using high-level modelling tools for algorithm development and code generation.
  • Development of drivers and components of MCAL and AUTOSAR stacks.

VLAB provides an integrated Automotive Solution Virtual Platform to meet your needs. VLAB virtual platforms are tailored to the automotive environment with both automotive IP models and Toolboxes, and combine to provide a powerful integrated solution for automotive ESL Design and embedded software development.
