Facing challenges and finding solutions for electric vehicle embedded software development.

The future of transportation is electrification. With this shift comes a heavy burden for engineers and software architects to design safe, secure, and hassle-free systems. This webinar will discuss the complexity of electric vehicle (EV) embedded software development for electrical powertrain systems, considerations for success, and investigate solutions to tackle the complex issues faced during development — Register to watch the on-demand webinar now.

Discover the trends of electrical powertrain systems

An electric vehicle powertrain system comprises six components that must function in perfect harmony for maximum performance: DC-DC converter, inverter, e-motor, charge control, on-board charger, and battery management systems. However, there are several architectural challenges and security and safety considerations. Additionally, charging protocols vary depending on geographical region and constantly evolve, causing many embedded software design challenges for EV powertrains.

Understand the challenges of EV embedded software development

As electric vehicles become more complex and the trend toward integration gains momentum, electronic control unit (ECU) developers must grapple with new architectural, security, safety, and charging protocol challenges.

  • Architectural challenges: EV combo-box architecture, i.e., combining two functionalities in a single ECU. 
  • Security challenges: Every EV will have a charging port for charging
    the battery. Evaluate the risk of threats from the external world through this port connected to the vehicle network.
  • Safety challenges: Safety requirements like ISO 26262 for critical
    ECUs (E.g., Battery Management System (BMS)) and quicker safety qualifications.
  • EV charging protocols: Multiple physical connectors based on country (US, EU, JP, and CHN), which requires different communication protocols (CAN, J1939, etc.) to be supported for communication between EV and charging station.
