Stoneridge will debut a centralized ECU platform for commercial vehicles at IAA
The supplier said its EVO platform consolidates processing that commercial vehicles have spread across many individual control units, using Renesas silicon and a Green Hills software architecture that keeps safety-critical functions separated.
Stoneridge said on August 10 that it would show its EVO ECU Platform at IAA Transportation in Hanover, which runs September 15 to 20 with a press day on September 14, and gave further detail on the design.
The company said that where traditional architectures rely on numerous individual electronic control units, EVO consolidates processing into a central computer built for commercial vehicles, buses, coaches and off-highway equipment. It said the approach allowed faster software updates, more efficient diagnostics, and new features without significant hardware changes, and that for fleet operators it was intended to improve uptime through remote software updates and better fault-finding.
Stoneridge named three partners. Renesas Electronics supplied the processing foundation; Aish Dubey, who heads the company’s HPC SoC division, referred to its R-Car system-on-chip, power-management and programmable mixed-signal technologies. Green Hills Software worked on a scalable software architecture that Stoneridge said let new capabilities be added while maintaining separation between safety-critical functions. indie Semiconductor developed the image processor, to a specification Stoneridge’s engineers contributed to.
The company said software modularity and cybersecurity were foundational elements of the development, and that it had implemented a multi-layered security approach. Christian Leblanc, global vice president of product and project management, and Natalia Noblet, president and chief executive, both spoke for the company. Stoneridge said the platform had completed validation on its Innovation Truck demonstrator.
