Vector`s contributions within the AUTOSAR development partnership were honored with the presentation of the AUTOSAR Award to Vector Managing Director Dr. Helmut Schelling.
Test sequences used to check for proper application functionality and network communication can be created and parameterized easily and quickly using the new Test Automation Editor. ECU developers, test engineers and technical experts will benefit from the ability to intuitively visualize and edit test cases from CANoe XML test modules. The Test Automation Editor is suitable for the use in all test phases of the development process.
Vector tools and technology contributed to the winning combination that earned the Tartan Racing Team of Carnegie-Mellon University the championship title and coveted first place prize of $2 million at the 2007 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Urban Challenge on November 3, at the former George Air Force Base in Victorville, Calif.
In releasing the new Version 5.5 of CANdelaStudio - the tool for creating diagnostic description data - Vector is further extending its already comprehensive functional features for ODX. Users will benefit from visualization of the ODX data in the newly integrated "EffectiveODX Viewer".
The new version of eASEE from Vector makes it easier for users to manage process and development data across multiple business sites. A new security and roles approach structures controlled access to the data of networked work groups.
The VN7600 FlexRay/CAN USB interface being introduced by Vector is a bus interface with two FlexRay channels and three CAN channels in one device. In bus analyses and simulations, developers of FlexRay/CAN applications benefit from simultaneous access to both bus systems with just one hardware module.
Burscheid/Stuttgart, 2007/10/26 - Johnson Controls has completed its first prototype system utilizing the Vector AUTOSAR Prototype Package. Johnson Controls, is one of the world's leading suppliers of automotive interior systems, electronics, and batteries and is an AUTOSAR premium member. This project consists of multiple electric control units (ECUs) utilizing two different hardware platforms which are connected through a CAN network. The project combines several purposes which result in the migration of the current software architecture to an AUTOSAR profile: Evaluation of AUTOSAR basic software, memory size, and CPU load; automatic code generation; and integration of external software components.
Vector, the leading supplier of solutions for the development of automotive electronics, announces the opening of a new subsidiary in Seoul, Korea. With this step, Vector Informatik GmbH, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, is affirming the importance of the Korean market. Effective immediately Vector Korea will represent Vector`s entire product portfolio in the Korean market. Current and future users will receive a maximum of on-site support.
Vector extends its XL-Driver-Library for the automotive bus systems CAN, LIN and MOST by adding a FlexRay functional library. Furthermore, the Advanced FlexRay-Driver-Library offers extended functions that allow developers of FlexRay applications to utilize Vector`s high-performance FlexRay interfaces in their own applications.
A working committee of numerous automotive OEMs, module producers and communications specialists has - under the auspices of CiA - come to an agreement on a CANopen-based communications protocol. This enables easy integration of taxi meters, radio systems, roof bars and other electronically controlled devices in taxis, police cars and other official vehicles from different automotive OEMs. In this area, Vector offers software components for implementing the ECUs, a modified version of the CANoe.CANopen development and test tool, and consultation and project support.
The new version 6.5 of the CANape measurement and calibration tool from Vector simplifies optimization of ECU-specific parameters in vehicles. In addition to extended bus and protocol support for FlexRay, ECU developers also benefit from convenient display of Simulink software models that are used.
Version 2.0 of eASEE.cdm gives calibration engineers the ability to manage calibration data of ECU variants per ASAM specification. Variants defined by MCD2-compatible description files can now be
managed and processed more efficiently with the Vector tool.
To assure that flash programming of ECUs is protected against tampering, Vector is integrating cryptographic algorithms from cv
cryptovision in its bootloaders. Vector is relying on the use of this tested technology of cryptographic algorithms, which supports security mechanisms required by car manufacturers for software updates.
Effective immediately, the LIN software components of Vector support the new LIN standard 2.1. This makes it possible to create control units according to the new LIN specification. Vehicle
manufacturers and suppliers profit from the new functions and simplified integration of software components in their control units.
Vector is offering FRstress as a
new hardware module for testing FlexRay buses. The tool
stresses and disturbs FlexRay buses in a targeted manner
by generating protocol errors and manipulating the bus
physics. Test engineers at automotive OEMs and suppliers
can now use FRstress to test their ECUs and FlexRay
buses even faster and more effectively.
Vector Informatik GmbH has been awarded the quality seal of "Germany’s best employers 2007" for the quality of its workplace. The leading specialist for networking of electronic systems in the
automobile was the best-placing company in the Automotive Electronics industry.
The flexible bus interfaces
CANcaseXL, CANboardXL and CANboardXL PCIe from Vector
now also support the SAE J1708/J1587 physical layer.
They give developers of commercial vehicle networks
hardware access to the J1708 bus via the USB, PCI or PCI
Express port on a PC or notebook computer.
Vector’s DaVinci Network
Designer LIN gives automotive OEMs and system suppliers
a user-friendly tool for designing individual LIN buses,
independent LIN subsystems and complex network
structures. The tool enhances productivity compared to
text-based LDF editors and other tools due to its
application-oriented display and editing of data.
Knowledge of the LDF syntax is not necessary.
The new version 6.0 of the
development environment CANoe supports the diagnostic
exchange format ODX 2.0.1. Developers of ECUs and
diagnostics obtain the ODX diagnostic descriptions
either from Vector’s diagnostic tool, CANdelaStudio, or
the diagnostic tool chains of other development
partners.
