Lauterbach joins SOAFEE SIG for SDV development

Lauterbach has recently announced its collaboration with the SOAFEE Special Interest Group, a partnership aimed at working alongside industry leaders to shape the future of the automotive and Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) industry. This collaboration focuses on simplifying vehicle software development, particularly in response to the increasing demands on development tools brought about by the shift from traditional domain-based E/E vehicle architectures to SDV.

The TRACE32® debug and trace tools offered by Lauterbach are already deemed "SDV Ready," capable of debugging the entire SDV software stack on current and future automotive SoCs throughout the entire lifecycle from virtual ECU to real silicon. Leveraging their expertise in tools, safety certification, debugging, and system profiling, Lauterbach aims to advance the development of safe, secure, and innovative automotive systems within the evolving industry landscape.

SOAFEE, an industry-led collaboration involving companies from the automotive and technology sectors, seeks to foster cooperation within the automotive ecosystem across the value chain. The primary goal is to establish a seed development platform that facilitates seamless cloud-to-automotive edge software development, thereby nurturing a diverse ecosystem of commercial partners delivering products across the automotive stack, ultimately streamlining the path from development to deployment.

Managing Director at Lauterbach GmbH, Norbert Weiss, emphasizes the role of TRACE32® debug and trace tools in driving innovation within the automotive sector. "Whether it is electrification, driver assistance technologies, or SDV, our tools help developers accelerate innovation and adapt to the evolving landscape," Weiss states. Positioned as a thought leader in debug and trace technologies, Lauterbach aims to be the reliable partner needed by the global automotive value chain to shape the future of transportation, promoting safety, sustainability, and connectivity.

By joining forces with SOAFEE, Lauterbach and its network of partners are committed to empowering developers working on SDV architectures in the automotive sector. The collective goal is to facilitate the swift and efficient delivery of applications, contributing to the ongoing evolution of the automotive industry towards safer, greener, and more connected driving experiences.
