NUREMBERG, Germany, Feb. 25,
2020 /PRNewswire/ -- embedded world
2020 -- Green Hills Software, the worldwide leader in
embedded safety and security, and Tata Elxsi, the leading design
and technology services provider, have announced their partnership
to deliver the next generation of software-driven, highly
integrated automotive cockpit solutions. The companies will
showcase the first result of their cooperation, Tata Elxsi's
eCockpit solution running on Green Hills Software's safe and secure
INTEGRITY® real-time operating system (RTOS) and
INTEGRITY Multivisor® secure virtualization, at
embedded world 2020 (Hall 4, Stand 4-325).
The Tata Elxsi eCockpit solution addresses all the requirements
of a full feature vehicle cockpit, supporting infotainment,
instrument cluster, HUD and ADAS functionalities on a single SoC
while maintaining the highest levels of safety, security and
performance. The demonstration pairs Tata's eCockpit with the Green
Hills ASIL-certified INTEGRITY RTOS and its Multivisor secure
virtualization architecture to safely and securely consolidate
mixed-criticality applications on a single, automotive-grade
Renesas R-Car H3 processor. INTEGRITY Multivisor runs Linux and
Android in independent, secure virtualized partitions. Tata Elxsi
Infotainment is based on Automotive Android and the instrument
cluster is running on Linux. Infotainment features are shown
through a 2D/3D custom HMI on Automotive Android. V2X features are
also integrated and displayed on the instrument cluster as warning
messages. Linux guest OS is partitioned using Linux Containers to
accommodate sub domains like ADAS. A separate Linux Container runs
Tata Elxsi's Sensor Fusion ADAS IP over Tata Elxsi's own Adaptive
AUTOSAR. Complete vehicle interface functionality is based on
Tata Elxsi's own classic AUTOSAR 4.3.
The INTEGRITY RTOS microkernel architecture is designed for
critical embedded systems demanding proven separation, security,
and real-time determinism. Its separation architecture helps
software teams to safely and securely partition software running at
different levels of criticality on the Renesas R-Car H3 processor
while guaranteeing applications the system resources required for
their proper execution. This enables safe and secure execution of
applications running graphics and multimedia while at the same time
ensuring the safe operation of critical functions, such as the
tell-tale status and warning lights.
"Tata Elxsi's eCockpit, combined with Green Hills INTEGRITY
Multivisor, is platform agnostic and it provides automotive makers
with a complete single-ECU solution for instrument cluster,
infotainment and ADAS functionalities that delivers real-time
performance on a single multicore automotive-grade microprocessor,"
said Dan Mender, vice-president
business development, Green Hills Software. "Tata Elxsi's
software development and system integration for cockpit systems is
driving the industry and we will continue to work together for
providing safe and secure systems while supporting the cost and
space reduction demands that are driving the trend of ECU
consolidation."
"Green Hills Software's years of production program experience
in mixed-criticality, safety-certified system design, coupled with
their advanced MULTI® toolchain, significantly
simplified our integration effort and reduced development time
without requiring compromises in performance, safety or security in
the system," said Nitin Pai,
Chief Marketing Officer & Chief Strategy Officer, Tata Elxsi. "Our collaboration with
Green Hills on this type of
mixed-criticality platform consolidation allows us to provide
customers with truly unique value propositions as the automotive
industry looks to our joint, proven, production-ready
capabilities."
