VirTEL: A Cloud-Based Virtual Development and Validation Environment for Automotive

Left-Shift Your Validation Cycle using VirTEL

Virtualization has emerged as a transformative approach in automotive software development, furnishing an effective medium to address the growing complexity of Software Defined (SDVs) . By abstracting hardware dependencies and enabling scalable simulation, virtualization facilitates the effective design, integration, and validation of vehicle systems.

The limited availability of physical compute hardware, such as automotive SoCs, early prototypes, and domain-specific ECUs, is a significant constraint in current development workflows. Automotive suppliers are increasingly looking into cloud based virtualization to speed up development and allow hardware independent validation to overcome these obstacles. 

This whitepaper presents a cloud-based integrated framework, namely VirTEL, that hosts applications like HMI cluster, ADAS Control, Navigation, EV , Media systems, and Battery Management System (BMS) across distributed AWS EC2 instances. Discover how early, scalable, and hardware independent integration of various vehicle functions within a single virtual ecosystem can be made possible by cloud based virtualization.
