ThunderSoft, the global enabler in operating system products and technologies, has officially joined the SOAFEE SIG (Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge Special Interest Group) as a voting member.
With its technical strength in intelligent vehicles and AIOT, ThunderSoft will strengthen the group’s software ecosystem as it continues to define a software architecture and software-based reference framework for the vehicles of the future.
Founded by Arm, the world’s leading semiconductor IP provider, bringing together industry experts such as Continental, Volkswagen CARIAD, Amazon Web Services and BOSCH, SOAFEE aims to address the challenges of increasingly complex vehicle software. The aim is to create a uniform and scalable architecture for the development of automotive software. Based on cloud-native technologies, SOAFEE moves the entire automotive software development process (system architecture, application development and deployment, and functional testing) to the cloud by simulating the automotive software development environment and abstracting the underlying hardware. Since a large part of the functional verification can be carried out in advance in this way,
“It is a great honor for us to become a voting member of SOAFEE. At ThunderSoft, we will share our specialist knowledge of the automotive and AIOT industries with SOAFEE and work with all members to develop leading software architectures and software-based frameworks to support the automotive industry,” said Weishan Li, vice president of ThunderSoft.
“As the automotive industry enters a significant inflection point, it is critical that industry leaders work together to accelerate the software-defined future,” said Robert Day, director of automotive partnerships, automotive and IoT line of business, ARM, and SOAFEE governing body representative. “As part of SOAFEE’s membership and broader partnership with Arm, Thundersoft brings its decades of experience in in-vehicle operating systems to this important initiative, which continues to gain momentum.”
