Simplifying processes for automakers and their suppliers
through an efficient re-selling partnership
Integrated solution leveraging ETAS AUTOSAR Adaptive
middleware and QNX Operating System
Also includes ETAS' cybersecurity solutions in line with
UN-R155, GB/T, and ISO/SAE 21434
STUTTGART, Germany and WATERLOO, ON, April 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ETAS GmbH, a leading solution
provider for the development of automotive software and BlackBerry
QNX, a business unit of BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB; TSX: BB),
have signed a contract to jointly sell and market software
solutions accelerating the development of safety-critical functions
for next generation software-defined vehicles (SDVs). Through this
new streamlined re-selling partnership (extending the existing long
running technical partnership between ETAS and BlackBerry), both
companies will provide pre-integrated software leveraging ETAS
middleware RTA-VRTE based on AUTOSAR Adaptive, and the QNX®
Operating System to provide a high performance and safe foundation
for the development of microprocessor-based vehicle computer/domain
controller electronic control units (ECUs).
Additionally, this includes ETAS' automotive firewall and
host-based intrusion detection technology allowing automakers and
their suppliers to implement continuous security monitoring in
compliance with UN-R 155 and ISO/SAE 21434 standards.
As the automotive industry shifts towards SDVs, proven
foundational software and the AUTOSAR Adaptive standard grow in
significance to deliver a safe, secure, and trusted real-time
operating system and hypervisor foundation. Next-generation
automotive E/E architectures will strongly rely on powerful vehicle
computers, driven by microprocessor technology. The software from
ETAS and BlackBerry QNX provide a robust foundation for data
management, communication, task execution, safety, security, and
flexibility, which will continue to empower automotive
manufacturers to deliver innovative features, enhancing safety and
security, and pave the way for the future of mobility.
"This collaboration continues the journey that we undertook five
years ago to create the leading microprocessor-based automotive
software integrated solution supporting the AUTOSAR Adaptive
standard. With this now intensified cooperation, ETAS and
BlackBerry QNX unite their competencies to accelerate the support
for the rapid technology change in the automotive industry towards
the software-defined vehicle," states Mariella Minutolo, Executive Vice President
Sales and Member of the ETAS Board of Management. "Partnerships
like ours with BlackBerry QNX are pivotal, reshaping the industry's
economic framework, and facilitating the adoption of emerging
technologies."
"Optimized software and technology integration backed by trusted
and established ecosystem supplier sis critical to the long-term
success of next-generation connected vehicles," said Grant Courville, Vice President, Products &
Strategy, at BlackBerry QNX. "Our continued – and growing –
collaboration with ETAS brings our trusted technologies together,
enabling automakers to bring exciting, new innovations to market
faster and more cost-effectively for their customers."
