Siemens Digital Industries Software New Mentor Solution Lowers Cost and Speeds Development of Automotive Cockpit Systems
Mentor, a Siemens business, today introduced the VCO2S™ solution (Vehicle Cockpit Consolidation Solutions) – an innovative offering that helps automotive OEMs and their suppliers design and develop next-generation cockpit systems on a single high-compute electronic control unit (ECU) system. With VCO2S, automotive engineering teams can reduce cost, speed time to market and enhance user experience, all while meeting the automotive industry’s stringent cybersecurity and functional safety requirements.
VCO2S helps enable customers to integrate instrument cluster and In-Vehicle-Infotainment (IVI) systems on the same ECU, which saves space and cost. The fusion of instrument cluster and IVI functionalities running separate operating systems within a single ECU eliminates latencies associated with data sharing between distributed ECUs, while supporting multiple safety domain levels (ASIL and QM) and offering features such as graphics, video and audio sharing.
“Automotive engineers often deploy instrument cluster and IVI systems on separate ECUs to isolate domains and boost functional safety. Moreover, in traditional supply chains, teams often focus on distinct feature sets with minimal interaction between groups,” said Michael Ziganek, general manager of Mentor’s Automotive Business Unit. “Today engineering teams can seamlessly collaborate in real time across the globe. Meanwhile, the rich features and extreme performance of today’s highly integrated systems-on-chip (SoCs) support multiple safety integrity level domains on the same device. As a result, integrating instrument cluster and IVI systems on the same ECU is not only possible, but in fact, a critical architectural advantage as engineering teams consolidate more systems into fewer onboard ECUs.”
To help customers jump-start their consolidated cockpit system designs, Mentor’s new VCO2S solution is available in three separate options:
All three versions of the VCOS2 solution include safety libraries (ASIL-B), safety features and architectures for shared graphics, as well as video and audio between ASIL and QM domains. All versions also incorporate CAN and Ethernet connectivity to the vehicle, as well as support for Bluetooth, WiFi, FM/DAB radio, 4x cameras, and automotive audio. QM to ASIL-B domain communication is implemented by the Mentor™ Communication Framework including safety certification processes. Additional features can be added to the VCO2S Flex and VCO2S Unique solutions upon customer request.
The VCO2S Base version is available now for proof-of-concept (POC) and start-of-production (SOP) engagements. Mentor is also now available to initiate VCO2S Flex and VCO2S Unique customer engagements.
The Mentor Automotive Business Unit (ABU) offers services and solutions for the consolidation of multi-domains around automotive cockpit systems, autonomous driving systems and automotive audio systems. With more than 20 years of experience in automotive hardware, software and systems engineering, the unit helps customers differentiate and win in highly competitive markets.
