-30.45 (-0.53%) Tata Elxsi has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Synopsys, a leader in silicon to systems design solutions, to collaborate to deliver advanced automotive virtualization solutions. The collaboration will provide customers pre-verified, integrated solutions and services that make it easy to design and deploy virtual electronic control units (vECUs), a cornerstone technology critical for efficient software development and testing in today’s software-defined vehicles.
The collaboration brings together the company’s engineering capabilities in embedded systems and integration with Synopsys’ industry-leading virtualization solutions that are used by more than 50 global automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to help reduce development complexity and cost, improve quality of software systems, and de-risk vehicle production timelines.
Together, the companies are already collaborating on programs with several global customers to enable vECUs, as well as software bring-up, board support package (BSP) integration, and early-stage software validation. These solutions are being deployed across vehicle domains such as powertrain, chassis, body control, gateway, and central compute, helping customers simulate real-world scenarios, validate software early, and reduce reliance on physical prototypes. Through the collaboration, Synopsys and the company will further explore opportunities to scale and accelerate the deployment of electronics digital twins for multi-ECU and application specific systems.
Tata Elxsi is a global design and technology services company and works with customers across industries such as automotive, broadcast, healthcare and telecom for product and software development.
