Infineon and Siemens collaborate to bring AURIX TC4x to next-generation software-defined vehicles

Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced its ongoing collaboration with Infineon to integrate Siemens’ automotive embedded software platform, based on the AUTOSAR Classic platform R20-11, with Infineon’s AURIX™ TC4x microcontroller. What does this mean? This partnership, where Infineon and Siemens collaborate, aims to help automotive OEMs achieve production readiness for the next generation of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs).
The automotive sector is experiencing a surge in demand for advanced capabilities such as autonomous driving and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), electrification, and enhanced passenger comfort and entertainment. Meeting these demands requires sophisticated microcontrollers like the AURIX TC4x, coupled with intelligent software platforms that seamlessly fit into the system development flow.
Siemens and Infineon have been working closely with BMW, their lead customer, to develop production-ready embedded ECU (Electronic Control Unit) software. This collaboration also includes implementing a cloud-based software development process for SDVs using Siemens’ advanced embedded software tools.
Siemens’ Capital™ Embedded AR Classic software supports the most advanced microcontrollers on the market, enabling multicore functionality, functional safety, and cybersecurity features of the AURIX TC4x. These microcontrollers are essential for controlling and monitoring various automotive systems, including electric powertrains, battery management, ADAS, radar, and chassis.
This collaboration not only paves the way for new E/E architectures but also sets the stage for the next generation of software-defined vehicles.
