Siemens and Infineon Partner to Revolutionize Embedded Software for Next-Generation Vehicles

(IN BRIEF) Siemens Digital Industries Software has partnered with Infineon Technologies to integrate Siemens’ AUTOSAR-based Capital™ Embedded AR Classic software with Infineon’s advanced AURIX™ TC4x microcontrollers. This collaboration aims to create production-ready embedded ECU software for next-generation Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), meeting the growing demand for advanced automotive features like autonomous driving, ADAS, and electrification. Working with BMW as a lead customer, Siemens and Infineon have also developed a cloud-based software development process to support SDVs. The AURIX TC4x microcontrollers enable multicore processing, functional safety, and cybersecurity, crucial for managing electric powertrains, battery systems, and other critical vehicle functions.

(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH, 20-Nov-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced a collaboration with Infineon Technologies to integrate Siemens’ Capital™ Embedded AR Classic software, built on the AUTOSAR Classic platform R20-11, with Infineon’s advanced AURIX™ TC4x microcontroller. This partnership supports automotive manufacturers in delivering production-ready embedded ECU (Electronic Control Unit) software for next-generation Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), addressing the increasing demand for advanced functionalities like autonomous driving, ADAS, electrification, and enhanced passenger experiences.

Through this collaboration, Siemens and Infineon have worked closely with BMW, a lead customer, to develop production-ready embedded ECU software and implement a cloud-based software development process for SDVs using Siemens’ innovative embedded development tools.

Frances Evans, Senior Vice President of Lifecycle Collaboration Software at Siemens Digital Industries Software, highlighted the partnership’s significance: “Our longstanding collaboration with Infineon empowers OEMs to meet the needs of the SDV era. The successful implementation of the AURIX TC4x microcontroller demonstrates how an integrated approach accelerates the delivery of advanced vehicle features that customers expect.”

Infineon’s Senior Director of Software, Partnership, and Ecosystem Management, Thomas Schneid, emphasized the company’s contribution to the AUTOSAR standard and its microcontroller expertise. “By working with Siemens, we’re equipping OEMs with powerful microcontrollers and AUTOSAR-based embedded software to advance the future of the automotive industry.”

The Capital Embedded AR Classic software platform from Siemens enables the AURIX TC4x microcontrollers to support critical features like multicore processing, functional safety, and cybersecurity, offering pre-validated evidence for compliance that simplifies OEM homologation processes. Infineon’s AURIX TC4x microcontrollers, known for their enhanced performance and advanced capabilities, control key vehicle systems such as electric powertrains, battery management, ADAS, and chassis. With cutting-edge virtualization and AI-based modeling, these microcontrollers pave the way for the evolution of next-generation E/E architectures and SDVs.

This collaboration marks a significant step in addressing the growing computational and safety demands of modern vehicles, offering manufacturers a streamlined path to meet consumer expectations for innovative, software-driven automotive solutions.
