Lauterbach and Corellium take Development of Software Defined Vehicles to the Next Level

Arm RD-1 AE is an advanced automotive reference design featuring Arm Neoverse™ V3AE application processors as well as Cortex®-R82AE-based safety islands and a Cortex-M55-based Runtime Security Engine, addressing the requirements of complex software-defined vehicle (SDV) architectures. It also includes a complete set of software showcasing the platform’s many features, like hypervisor-based virtualization on the application cores and safety islands as well as running multiple rich and real-time OS in virtual machines (VMs).

The Arm RD-1 AE is available as a virtual model on Corellium’s Virtual Hardware platform, delivering speeds unmatched by model-based systems or even emulation, because the workloads are executed natively on Arm hardware in the cloud and do not have to be emulated or simulated on x86 server processors.

Thanks to the close collaboration between Corellium and Lauterbach, engineers can develop their applications on any Corellium device using Lauterbach’s market-leading TRACE32® debug tools with all known features, such as multicore debugging of the individual A, R, and M CPU clusters from Arm as well as hypervisor, OS, and AUTOSAR awarenesses. These unique features give developers complete insight into the entire system, including the complete software stack underneath their applications.

“The Arm RD-1 AE solution leverages our latest Armv9 technology to enable the AI, security, and safety capabilities needed to develop next-generation SDVs,” said Suraj Gajendra, vice president of automotive product and software solutions at Arm. “Lauterbach and Corellium’s new virtual prototype solution helps automotive software developers start on their work much earlier and accelerates time to market for key automotive applications.”

“Shift Left is a megatrend in the development of SDV software,” says Norbert Weiss, Managing Director at Lauterbach. “Together with Corellium, we have responded to the needs of the global automotive industry and presented this solution that leaves nothing to be desired.”

“Our innovative solution enables automotive developers to innovate just as quickly in the cloud as on physical chips,” says Bill Neifert, SVP of partnerships at Corellium. “By partnering with Lauterbach and leveraging the Arm Virtual Hardware platform powered by Corellium, we have transformed the development process for software-defined vehicles and modernized the automotive industry.”

Developers in the automotive value chain can find out more about this unique joint solution at Embedded World in Nuremberg from March 11-13, 2025 at the Lauterbach booth 210 in Hall 4 and see a live presentation.
