Develop and test your electronic control units with the automotive standard
AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) is a widely adopted software architecture framework collaboratively developed by major automotive OEMs and suppliers to standardize software interfaces and infrastructure in ECU development. By improving software quality, reducing costs, and ensuring modularity, AUTOSAR accelerates innovation in automotive software development. Speedgoat supports the AUTOSAR standard with dedicated I/O connectivity.
Speedgoat I/O modules allow you to interface with AUTOSAR-compliant ECUs using standard automotive communication protocols. This enables workflows such as restbus simulation and gateway functionality, rapid control prototyping (RCP), and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.

Restbus simulation allows you to test and validate ECUs even when not all control units are available. By emulating the missing nodes and buses, the simulation creates a comprehensive test environment that combines real and simulated ECUs. You can integrate early, reduce costs, and accelerate development without the need for the actual vehicle or hardware.
Gateway functionality implemented on Speedgoat test systems enables real-time execution of central automotive gateway logic. It routes, filters, and translates messages across heterogeneous in-vehicle networks such as CAN, CAN FD, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet. This setup allows engineers to validate distributed ECUs by accurately emulating the timing behavior and protocol conversion logic.
Rapid control prototyping (RCP) enables you to deploy AUTOSAR-compliant control algorithms directly from Simulink onto Speedgoat hardware. By connecting to real ECUs via standardized communication protocols, you can refine control strategies in real-time and under real-world conditions.
With hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, you can validate ECUs by connecting them to the digital twin of the vehicle running on the test system. You can also connect them to multiple virtual ECUs within the simulation. This allows you to test control algorithms, network communication, and overall system behavior under realistic operating conditions.
