Vehicle Software Stays Current and Compliant
ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES OF SOFTWARE COMPLEXITY
Vehicle software requires continuous updates, testing and validation long after launch. Aptiv and Wind River help manufacturers keep software secure, compliant and production-ready throughout the vehicle lifecycle.
Linux Platform Maintenance
Stay ahead of CVEs
Automotive software players face ongoing security risks from common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) and the complexity of maintaining legacy Linux versions. Keep Linux systems secure, stable and production-ready with proactive CVE patching, kernel updates and expert support for legacy systems.
Minimize security and compliance risks and lower the internal maintenance burden.
- Monitoring and analyzing upstream CVEs, patches and driver updates
- Evaluating relevance and impact on customer-specific platforms
- Backporting and integrating selected fixes on a quarterly cadence
- Delivering accelerated releases for critical threats
Android Platform Maintenance
Offload complex BSP and security updates
Board support package (BSP) and security updates can be complex and resource-intensive. OEM and partner integrations often result in conflicts. By leveraging Aptiv’s Android Platform Maintenance Service with Wind River’s technologies, OEMs and partners can offload technically complex BSP and security updates to ensure fast SoC adoption, smooth integrations and proven Android compliance.
Reduce integration risks and platform downtime with verified compliance.
- Integrating new BSP releases (kernel, HALs, firmware, bootloader) into the Android platform
- Delivering prioritized Android security and stability updates with tailored risk analysis
- Running Android compliance test suites (CTS/VTS) plus regression and integration tests
New Android IVI Applications
Build Automotive-Grade Android Apps
Off-the-shelf apps lack OEM-specific, branded experiences, and deep vehicle integration requires specialized development. By partnering with Aptiv Automotive Services, OEMs and partners can build innovative, automotive-grade Android applications that are deeply integrated and meet strict industry standards.
- Completing requirements analysis for software-defined vehicles (infotainment, connectivity, HMI)
- Leveraging a modular, scalable architecture for AAOS and custom OEM platforms
- Building, validating and securely deploying production-ready apps
Zephyr Platform Services
Building and maintaining production-grade Zephyr-based systems demands specialized embedded RTOS expertise that is difficult to sustain in-house. With Aptiv and Wind River, you get a proven Zephyr partner for the full lifecycle – from initial platform bring-up through long term maintenance and security.
Reduce time-to-market and technical risk with a team that knows RTOS architecture inside and out.
Services include:
- Architecture consulting from dedicated Zephyr experts
- Platform bring-up, BSP development, and driver integration
- Continuous CVE monitoring and long-term maintenance across releases
Auto Software Performance Optimization
Maximize efficiency and responsiveness
Inefficient resource utilization across CPU, memory and networking results in slow startup and lagging responsiveness. Complex system tuning requires deep platform expertise. Using Aptiv’s Auto Software Performance Optimization with Wind River’s technologies, OEMs can improve system responsiveness and reduce boot times, while optimizing resource use for Android and Linux automotive platforms.
Services include:
- Performance optimization for Linux boot time, kernel configuration, middleware and Android
- Containerization for workload isolation, dynamic resource allocation and secure communication
- System profiling, diagnostics, and network/connectivity optimization
SDV and Roadmap Acceleration
Accelerate the journey to software-defined vehicles
Increasing system complexity hinders software reuse and slows development. They also seek hardware independence across platforms and want to avoid vendor lock-in.
Accelerate development for software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with flexible middleware, architectures and migration services – all of which enable software reuse and hardware independence.
- Domain-specific proof-of-concept development to validate solutions and inform architecture
- Middleware porting to new SoCs/OSes
- Decoupling software from specific hardware, and application migration and re-architecture from legacy systems to Aptiv SDV architecture
