E/E Starter Kit:
Architecture
The E/E Starter Kit delivers a modular and scalable SDV architecture, featuring a central compute unit and distributed zone controllers. This architecture supports real-time communication across multiple vehicle zones, providing a prototyping-grade development platform for SDV applications.
System Components
The E/E Starter Kit includes:
- Arduino Portenta X8 (Central Compute)
- Two Arduino Portenta H7s (Zone Controllers)
- High-speed real-time interconnect for synchronized control
- Pre-configured networking stack for SDV middleware integration
Each component is pre-integrated, allowing developers to focus on application logic instead of low-level hardware setup.
The E/E Starter Kit comes with a fully integrated SDV middleware stack, enabling:
- Standardized vehicle data abstraction
- Hardware abstraction for rapid application development
- Seamless interoperability with other SDV ecosystem components
This ensures a plug-and-play development experience, reducing complexity in cross-platform SDV prototyping.
The E/E Starter Kit includes a sample SDV application showcasing:
- Millisecond-accurate real-time control between two zones
- Seamless integration with SDV middleware
- End-to-end SDV software development workflow
This sample serves as a reference implementation for developers to quickly adapt and extend for their own SDV use cases.
- Pre-Integrated System – Skip hardware setup and focus on development
- SDV Middleware Ready – No need for custom integrations
- Supports Real-Time Applications – Millisecond accuracy across zones
- Compatible with digital.auto Playground – Test and validate SDV use cases
- Open Ecosystem Collaboration – Developed with Bosch, ETAS, Arduino & DigiKey
- Perfect for Prototyping & Education – Supports SDV101 training modules
Why digital.auto E/E Starter Kit?
Unlike traditional E/E test systems, the digital.auto
E/E Starter Kit is designed for modern SDV development, offering:
- Immediate out-of-the-box usability – no complex setup required
- Direct compatibility with industry-standard SDV middleware
- Seamless extension into the digital.auto ecosystem
