Elektrobit has launched its EB corbos Linux Software Development Kit (SDK) as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) on the AWS Marketplace. This innovative release enables automotive engineers to leverage cloud-based workflows for developing next-generation software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Built on Ubuntu, the EB corbos Linux SDK offers an open-source operating system tailored to embedded automotive use cases, allowing developers to build and customise OS images in the cloud, accelerating innovation across the industry.
The EB corbos Linux SDK aligns with the automotive sector’s increasing reliance on high-performance computing (HPC) to support complex vehicle architectures. The platform facilitates seamless collaboration across globally distributed teams by enabling remote emulation of software and hardware on AWS’s Arm-based Graviton processor family. This cloud-native approach reduces the dependency on physical hardware, making development faster, more cost-effective, and agile. By integrating open-source flexibility with stringent automotive security and compliance requirements, the SDK is poised to address the industry's growing demand for efficient, secure, and scalable solutions.
Yu Fang, co-founder and CTO of Sonatus, noted its compatibility with the Sonatus Vehicle Platform. The ability to bridge in-vehicle and cloud software through this SDK creates a robust ecosystem for modern vehicle manufacturers. Mike Robertson, Chief Product Officer at Elektrobit, further emphasised the benefits of the SDK in enabling a 'Shift Left' development strategy, allowing automakers to test and evaluate quality and performance earlier in the production cycle. This early intervention minimises costly delays and enhances overall efficiency in vehicle software development.
In addition to the EB corbos Linux SDK, Elektrobit has also introduced EB corbos AdaptiveCore on the AWS Marketplace. AdaptiveCore, based on Adaptive AUTOSAR middleware, provides multi-OS support and essential features such as vehicle communication, diagnostics, and access management. These capabilities are designed to streamline the creation of advanced automotive systems while maintaining safety and reliability standards.
Elektrobit’s roadmap includes the release of EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications, designed to meet ASIL B/SIL 2 safety requirements. This solution will cater to safety-critical applications, further strengthening the company’s commitment to providing reliable, compliant, and future-ready technologies for the automotive sector.
The integration of these tools on the AWS cloud allows developers to achieve unparalleled scalability and efficiency. The 'always-on' infrastructure facilitates continuous development and collaboration, aligning with the industry's push towards SDVs that are adaptive, connected, and software-driven. By offering a development environment free of hardware constraints, Elektrobit is enabling automakers to adopt faster and more flexible workflows while maintaining the highest standards of security and performance.
