Elektrobit, Canonical Announce EB Corbos Linux
Summary
The new solution provides OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers with the benefits and flexibility of an open-source operating system for developing electronic control units (ECUs) in software-defined vehicles. In addition, it integrates Ubuntu, provided by Canonical, in a solution that addresses the specific needs of the automotive sector. Besides, it fills a major gap in the functional architectures of software-defined vehicles, giving them more flexibility and access to a large pool of experienced, motivated application developers. Jens Petersohn, Director, Linux product management, Elektrobit, said, “The automotive industry has historically relied heavily on distributed, specialised, single-function and highly-embedded ECUs to implement the electrical and electronic features of a vehicle. Carmakers have been asking for an operating system that will provide the same type of capabilities and flexibilities that we’re seeing in cloud-based or enterprise software development.
