Elektrobit has announced EB zoneo GatewayCore, the first software product to enable, configure and integrate the new generation of hardware accelerators of modern microcontrollers for use in advanced automotive E/E architectures based on the widely adopted Classic AUTOSAR standard. Available today on Infineon’s AURIX™ TC4x, the new software simplifies configuration of complex networking gateway use cases, reducing time, integration efforts and costs for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
EB zoneo GatewayCore effectively bridges the gap that currently exists between hardware-dependent accelerators and Classic AUTOSAR. The tool provides flexible support for the most complex routing scenarios. This integrated hardware-software approach significantly improves the processing latency of information and simultaneously reduces the CPU load and power consumption for network-related tasks.
The new software was developed in close collaboration with leading hardware vendors, including Infineon. As an example of possible performance gains, on the Infineon AURIX™ TC4x, EB zoneo GatewayCore is capable of significantly accelerating controller-area network (CAN)-to-CAN or CAN-to-IEEE1722 routing on TC4x in terms of latency with zero CPU load. This was achieved by using an optimum combination of hardware blocks from Infineon and Elektrobit’s EB zoneo.
Infineon’s AURIX™ TC4x family of microcontrollers push the boundaries in automotive microcontroller usage for safe and secured processing and are designed for next generation eMobility, ADAS, E/E architectures and affordable artificial intelligence applications. The first AURIX™ TC4x engineering samples have already been shipped to lead customers for their design-in activities.
