Elektrobit Announces EB tresos 9 Update for Automotive ECU Development

Erlangen, Germany – Elektrobit, leader in automotive software, recently announced the immediate availability of EB tresos 9, the latest version of its industry-leading basic software that enables carmakers and suppliers to develop next-generation electronic control units (ECUs) based on the latest AUTOSAR standard. The update fully supports AUTOSAR R20-11 and integrates Argus CAN IDPS, developed by CES 2023 innovation award winner Argus Cyber Security, with industry-leading onboard intrusion-detection capabilities. Experts predict that by 2027, 80 percent of production vehicles will have ECUs based on AUTOSAR basic software. EB tresos 9 will enable OEMs and Tier 1s to reduce development costs and overall development time by standardizing on AUTOSAR.

EB tresos 9 streamlines the development of software features that comply with the latest security and safety standards, such as ISO/SAE 21434 for cyber security risk management and SAE J1979-2 for on-board emissions diagnostics, which will be mandatory for vehicles in the United States by 2027. It monitors network traffic, detects threats and anomalies, and provides prevention mechanisms for common attack methods like denial of service and brute force. EB tresos 9 also meets the AUTOSAR firmware-over-the-air requirements for updating ECUs during normal vehicle operation.

EB tresos 9 is an important component of the company’s overall software and engineering services offerings, which provide a one-stop shop for carmakers looking to build their own automotive OS—the harmonized software platforms that will control all systems in next-generation vehicles. For over 30 years, the company has been developing automotive basic software, resulting in the industry’s most mature and reliable software line.

Elektrobit intends to continue updating the EB tresos line as the AUTOSAR standard is updated. Furthermore, the EB tresos 9 roadmap includes measures for a higher degree of automation to reduce costs and improve team development efficiencies, as well as a new, state-of-the-art graphical user interface (GUI) to make it easier and more intuitive to use. On February 23, 2023, the company will also host a webinar titled ‘Step forward – transitioning from EB tresos 8 to 9’ to allow participants to learn more about the product.

Reiterating that EB tresos 9 includes the latest AUTOSAR compliance requirements, coupled with best-in-class security, making it easier for its customers to build the complex automotive operating systems (OSes) that will control and define all systems in their next-generation vehicles, Michael Robertson, Vice President, Global Product Management and Strategy, Elektrobit, said, “EB tresos 9’s off-the-shelf functionality and reusability allow the development of more software features for more vehicles in less time.”
