The base architecture is built around a Telematics Unit (TU) managing the connection to the external network. The TU has connections to the internal busses: ethernet and CAN. On the TU, a realtime OSGi framework with resource enforcement is used to manage the software lifecycle. By running an instance on each domain controller, customers can track the software on each instance. An additional level of segregation is achieved by running system and external software in a container, running as a separate process, in an FPGA, on a GPU, or on a microcontroller.

VALUE
Connecting a vehicle to the internet is just the beginning of digital transformation. This testbed demonstrates how connectivity can be used for effective data collection and remote software maintenance. Keeping the cloud-to-vehicle connection secure is essential for this transformation.
