Sessions
In this talk Flo will introduce the Eclipse Foundation which has started a Software Defined Vehicle Working Group. Members like Mercedes, Cariad, Bosch, Continental, and many others are already working together on a fully open source and commercially usable SDV Software layer, enabling faster innovation and reusability of base blocks. We will introduce the Eclipse SDV initiative and why this open source approach will help the worldwide car industry to enable the Software Defined Vehicle. We will highlight the achievements of this young initiative as well as critically asking why open source may not be enough to make this worldwide collaboration happen.
Can a community design a robust open source RISC-V Core? Maybe even a whole MCU? Open Source, Verified so you can make a commercial Chip? That is what the OpenHW Foundation based in Europe is doing with it's members spanning the whole globe. Let us give you an update how our fully open source MCU got radiation hardened in a research project and who international companies use and contribute to our Cores like the famous CVA6 and what makes the Model work. Finally a quick overview about the different IP (including AI Accelerators) the OpenHW is hosting under an Apache 2.0 license.
