Introduction
ECU architecture for automotive vehicle domains is currently evolving. This is partially driven by the potential cost savings made possible by consolidating ECUs, but more significantly by new capabilities that vehicle functions must provide to be competitive in the future automotive market.
In this paper, we will discuss how ECU architecture is changing, assess the impact of this changed environment and then dive into emerging requirements for the software architecture that result from these changes. Finally,we will show how EB corbos Hypervisor enables these future ECU architectures.
