Empowering practical innovation for mission-critical vehicle functions

Automotive Embedded Development

From silicon to software: AI-enabled embedded development for SDVs

Software has become integrated with core vehicle functions to an extent never seen before. Embedded automotive software development enables the transition to software-defined vehicles (SDVs), bridging the gap between vehicle and mobility ecosystem to enhance safety and efficiently process ever-growing volumes of data.

Intellias provides multi-layer expertise in co-creating automotive embedded systems and solutions for OEMs and Tier 1s, ranging from sensor programming and platform integrations to middleware and app development to control mission-critical driving functions.

Aiming to deliver optimal automotive embedded software development services, Intellias combines deep engineering expertise with future-ready AI accelerators implemented across the SDLC.

Hypervisor platforms

Consolidation of infotainment, connectivity, and safety-related workloads on a single hardware platform with E2E virtualization support from BSPs, guest setup, and resource management to device assignment, IPC, backend drivers, OTA, and boot-time optimization. We work with Xen, QNX Hypervisor, Green Hills Multivisor, OpenSynergy COQOS, LXC, and Docker to accelerate SDV development.

Clear outcomes: Our clients' stories

Integrating Rust-based applications with AUTOSAR Classic environment

Intellias, in cooperation with HighTec and Vector, modernized embedded automotive software by migrating time-critical ultrasonic sensor software components (SWCs) from C to Rust, ensuring compatibility with AUTOSAR Classic stacks and legacy components. The solution enabled seamless integration into the existing environment, allowing memory-safe Rust applications to interoperate with C without compromising performance or system integrity.

Business outcomes:

  • Seamless Rust–C interoperability – enabled stable cross-language integration within AUTOSAR Classic environment
  • Improved software safety – ensured compliance with AURIX memory and safety requirements for embedded systems
  • Reliable system communication – enabled consistent data exchange between Rust-based and legacy C-based SWCs

Reliable FOTA Master ECU software updates​

Intellias supported the development of central embedded ECU software responsible for managing firmware updates across all ECUs in a vehicle. Operating in a safety-relevant ASIL B context with close attention to ISO 26262 requirements, the engagement covered development of change requests, component and integration testing, and CANoe-based SIL simulation, including setup and maintenance of the validation and verification environment.

Business outcomes:

  • Reliable firmware update – supported component integration and CANoe-based SIL qualification testing to improve update reliability across ECUs
  • Optimized software delivery – advanced development and implementation of change requests within the central FOTA Master ECU environment
  • Safety-aligned processes – contributed to a safety-relevant ASIL B platform aligned with ISO 26262 requirements

Instrument cluster ​diagnostics for safety-critical alerts

Intellias developed an AUTOSAR-based diagnostics solution for an automotive instrument cluster, enabling processing of airbag and seat belt data diagnostics and activation of alerts. The scope included state monitoring, fault detection, fault message transfer, safety checks, model-based development, and testing on Renesas RH850-based hardware, following ASIL B, ISO 26262, and ASPICE requirements.

  • Reliable diagnostics – enabled accurate processing and transfer of airbag and seat belt fault information to the instrument cluster
  • Functional safety support – contributed to an ASIL B solution aligned with ISO 26262 requirements for safety-critical diagnostics and alerts
  • Accelerated validation and demonstration – delivered a demo version with a fault injection testing panel to support validation of diagnostic scenarios
