The automotive market is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, with more automation demands, more advanced user experience pursuits, and electrification trends driving explosive growth in software and artificial intelligence (AI). Given the increasing complexity of automotive electronic systems, in order to accelerate product delivery, the automotive industry needs to fundamentally rethink the product development process
 
 
On March 13th local time, Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that it will add an accelerated pre silicon development environment to its hardware assisted validation products for Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs) equipped with PAVE360. This solution is the first accelerated simulation environment that can be used for the new Arm Cortex released in March 2024 ®- A720AE CPU semiconductor IP provides support.
Dennis Laudick, Vice President of Global Markets at RM Automotive Business Unit, told reporters that the automotive industry is undergoing a huge transformation and developing into a technology driven industry. As the industry transitions towards electric vehicles, complexity also increases, and the industry is rethinking how to design cars from a technical perspective.
After announcing its first collaboration with Arm and AWS at the end of 2023, Siemens is now providing support to key Arm ecosystem partners. Integrating implementable solutions from specific partners into cloud based development platforms allows first tier suppliers and OEMs to develop early software for Arm's new Cortex-A720AE IP, breaking the tradition of waiting for silicon software to be developed before developing software for the latest semiconductor IP. This allows the automotive software team to provide extremely fast cloud simulation speed for the development, debugging, and validation of iterative pre silicon software before the first silicon software is put into use, thereby achieving a left shift.
Mike Ellow, Executive Vice President of Electronic Design Automation at Siemens Digital Industrial Software, said, "The shift in the automotive industry towards software defined cars means that traditional software and hardware development processes are no longer effective and must continue to evolve to meet industry needs. Our collaboration with Arm supports accelerated simulation, shortening the time to market for SDV software by implementing an accelerated automotive platform before silicon software development."
By providing the PAVE360 cloud software development solution on AWS cloud services, developers can experience simulation speeds comparable to those on evaluation boards, while eliminating reliance on traditional slow local modeling and simulation. Now, specific software ecosystem partners, first tier suppliers, and OEMs can all adopt this solution, and Siemens is planning to promote its widespread adoption.
Dipti Vachani, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Arm's Automotive Business, said, "The surge in software demand and the development of AI technology are redefining the driver's experience, and as automotive electronics become increasingly complex, automakers must continue to innovate. Through collaboration with industry leaders such as Siemens on new virtual platforms, we are providing software developers with the latest Automotive Enhanced technology before silicon software becomes available, greatly accelerating the time to market for industry products."
At present, in the automotive industry, systems have become increasingly complex, especially from a software and computing perspective, with increasing complexity. The entire industry is contemplating how to provide solutions that meet the increasing software and computational complexity required for future automobiles.
Arm has been deeply involved in the automotive industry for over 30 years. In early 2000, Arm launched a CPU that supports lock step safety function. In 2018, Arm specifically created an Automotive Enhanced (AE) IP for automotive applications. In 2021, Arm launched a project called "SOAFEE" (Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edges), aimed at enabling collaboration among partners in the ecosystem to address the software level challenges faced by the automotive industry.
