Connected Automotive Solutions for Software Defined Vehicles

Originating from BMW, SOME/IP addresses the need to configure complex modern vehicle networks with a scalable and flexible approach.  SOME/IP stands for Scalable Service-Oriented Middleware over IP. It is a layer 3 command and control API designed to facilitate communication between various electronic control units (ECUs) within a vehicle. By operating over TCP, SOME/IP ensures reliable data transmission, distinguishing it from other protocols like   AVB/TSN , which operate at layer 2. Key Features of SOME/IP Device Discovery and Configuration SOME/IP simplifies the discovery and configuration of devices over Ethernet. This capability is important for managing the increasing number of ECUs in modern vehicles. Integration with AUTOSAR SOME/IP is a published specification within the AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System Architecture) domain. This standardization allows for compatibility and interoperability across different manufacturers and suppliers. SOME/IP is generally available i...

  As the automotive industry accelerates toward software-defined vehicles, autonomous driving, and advanced infotainment systems, a scalable, high-speed, and reliable in-vehicle network has never been more critical.   Automotive Ethernet   is emerging as a cornerstone of modern vehicle architectures, offering the bandwidth, flexibility, and interoperability required by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to support next-generation vehicle systems. In this blog, we explore the rise of automotive Ethernet, its core benefits, use cases, and how OEMs leverage it, which is supported by trusted connectivity partners like  Excelfore , whose solutions are already deployed in production vehicles across multiple global markets. What is Automotive Ethernet? Automotive Ethernet  is an adaptation of standard Ethernet technology designed to meet the specific requirements of vehicles. Unlike traditional in-vehicle communication protocols like CAN, LIN, or FlexRay, Ethernet...
