Modular software packages accelerate the development process up to the SOP.
Reuse of the software due to the standardized HL (binary-compatible as with x86 PCs). Once programmed (error-free) software can be used again and again on the same processor families.
=> Many software companies develop individual modules that complement each other in a modular way or are interchangeable
SDV API (Application Programming Interface) – also called programming interface – provides a coordinated set of commands, functions, protocols and objects that make it easier for programmers from different companies to create their own software that communicates in a standardized way with different zonal computers or ECUs. At the same time, the developer can use standard commands for executing general operations so that code does not have to be written from scratch.
=> SDV API accelerates the data exchange between different systems (e.g. zonal computers, ECUs, …) in the SDV many times over and simplifies it.
Standardized HL (binary-compatible processors based on RISC-V) enable resilient supply chains.
Industry-wide allocation of hardware to min. 2 fabs (semiconductor factories) on different continents.
Replacement of hardware as part of the development process and during the utilization phase (compatibility of semiconductor pins).
=> At least two independent manufacturers produce the interchangeable semiconductors in two different factories on different continents
… is a program library that makes all SDV API compatible programs available to all registered users after security certification. This ensures an efficient supply of compatible software modules and SDV APIs that are matched to the standard hardware.
=> A transparent marketplace with competition is created, e.g. for the best control software for a specific, zonal computer or the most economical control unit (ECU) for a component, according to the defined component functions.
