Software is booming in cars

The complexity of vehicle electronics is increasing

The number of electronic control units in automobiles (automotive ECU, Electronic Control Units) has risen significantly in recent years, not least due to developments in electromobility and connectivity in autonomous driving.

Premium models currently rolling off the assembly line already contain up to 100 ECUs, which are subject to constant software updates. In some cases, the updates improve performance, but often they are security relevant and close existing gaps, similar to updates to operating systems of PCs or smartphones. Modern infotainment systems are also regularly provided with updates to ensure comfort and individual use in the best possible way.

The consequence:

It is not just the demands for the corresponding security solutions that are on the rise. At the same time, more flash programming is needed to keep the software up-to-date.

Each OEM has its own hardware and software components for this purpose with appropriate encryption to ensure the security of the transmission. The hardware is connected to the vehicle via a cable, the program is started and the current software version is loaded. The software update of control units includes the diagnostics, the process itself and the subsequent documentation.
