Synopsys and Infineon have collaborated for over a decade to provide virtual prototypes for the Infineon AURIX™ and TRAVEO™ microcontroller family. By using Synopsys Automotive Virtualizer™ Development Kits (VDKs) for AURIX™ microcontrollers, automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers can begin software development up to 12-18 months ahead of hardware availability. The AURIX™ VDK is a key foundation to build Virtual ECUs (vECUs), networks of vECUs and Electronics Digital Twins for the vehicle.
Infineon is preparing the automotive ecosystem for the upcoming release of the AURIX™ RCI microcontroller family by including Synopsys VDK as part of their DRIVECORE™ software portfolio. Together, Infineon and Synopsys are enabling next-generation vehicles and automotive systems to be designed with advanced computing platforms, multiple networks, and an increasing amount of software to operate complex physical systems autonomously.

“We consider the introduction of our new AURIX™ RC1 family much beyond the new microcontroller architecture itself. Our new open architecture based on RISC-V comes with a growing holistic ecosystem. Together with partners like Synopsys, we are creating an open and scalable software, tools and services environment that enables customers to build on their existing investments, simplify migration and accelerate innovation on AURIX™ RC1.”
