The 5 major challenges our customers are facing
Microcontroller programming is a cyclical routine task of OEMs and suppliers, that comes with each generation change. The challenge is to adapt the software development process chain and make it as efficient as possible while at the same time navigating a complex landscape of technical and regulatory challenges.
We at ETAS have identified the 5 biggest challenges our customers are facing in this crucial task:
High integration effort
ECU software does not run in a vacuum but is part of a complex setup. Therefore, a significant challenge is the high integration effort, particularly when dealing with legacy systems. Often, extensive manual work is needed to ensure a flawless interaction between all components.
Implementing a middleware solution to abstract the software from the hardware layer is thus key to manage complexity.
Time-consuming testing and debugging
Given the critical nature of automotive systems, testing and debugging can be time-consuming and complex, which reduces the speed of the development process, increases costs, and is highly resource-intensive.
By automating testing and using advanced data analysis tools, valuable resources can be used for the development of differentiating features.
Complex calibration
The time-consuming nature of calibration is a major challenge. This complexity often manifests itself in unproductive search and setup processes, coupled with a difficulty to understand calibration parameters, which can lead to errors.
To avoid potential mistakes, automated tools for data analysis and documentation streamline the calibration process for more consistency and reliability.
Limited scalability and flexibility
Rigid software designs restrict modifications and extensions, thus complicating updates and the addition of new features.
To seamlessly integrate new features or adapt software efficiently to different architectures, modular designs and standardized interfaces ensure future-proof tool chains.
Holistic cybersecurity requirements
The diverse and evolving nature of cyber threats, including malware, hacking, and unauthorized access, complicates the task of securing ECU systems.
A multi-layered security architecture and lightweight, efficient security protocols are key to protecting the increasingly connected and vulnerable vehicles.
