IPG Automotive facilitates validation of virtual ECUs with the Synopsys Silver platform

IPG Automotive’s CarMaker simulation technology for analyzing various types of transportation, including software-defined vehicles, has been integrated with the Synopsys’ Silver platform, a validation tool for virtual ECUs (VECUs) using software-in-the-loop.

This combination enables software architects, function developers and application engineers to develop ECU production code individually or bundled in a time-efficient and highly automated x-in-the-loop environment. Diagnostic interfaces, restbus models and bus monitoring can therefore be tested virtually.

“The combination of Synopsys Silver and CarMaker enables developers to increase testing depth in the early stages of the development process, to detect faults quickly and safely in short loops and therefore to speed up development already today with one of the most advanced toolchains,” commented Martin Elbs, senior vice president and chief customer officer at IPG Automotive.
