Altia, the automotive industry leader in cockpit HMI software solutions, has joined the Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge (SOAFEE) special interest group. With production-proven expertise in cockpit HMI software for connected vehicles and functional safety solutions for mission-critical systems, Altia will strengthen the group’s software ecosystem as it continues to define a software architecture and reference software framework for the vehicles of the future.
Founded by Arm, a world-leading semiconductor IP company, SOAFEE is an industry-led collaboration between companies across the automotive and technology sectors. The organization aims to address the challenge of increasing complexity in vehicle software for software-defined vehicles (SDVs) of the future by creating a unified and scalable automotive software development architecture. Based on cloud-native technologies, SOAFEE enables the entire automotive software development process (system architecture, application development and deployment and functional testing) to be performed in the cloud, by simulating the automotive software development environment and abstracting the underlying hardware. This allows most of the functional verification to be done in advance, significantly reducing the cost of development and maintenance of the whole automotive software system, as well as benefiting all enterprises and users in the supply chain. The SOAFFEE project is being conducted in collaboration with automotive industry leaders from companies including Continental, Volkswagen CARIAD, Amazon Web Services and BOSCH.
“We are delighted to join SOAFEE. Altia will share our expertise in both automotive and IoT industries with SOAFEE and work together with all members to create leading software architecture and reference software framework to empower the automotive industry,” said Jason Williamson, VP of Marketing at Altia.
