XCU8

General purpose ECU/VCU designed for safety critical automotive applications

Coming soon. Product is still in active development, so some details and specifications may change prior to release.

Simulink models and custom embedded code can be deployed independently to two logical processing cores. One core comprises two physical cores operating in lock step, supporting higher functional safety integrity levels.

GEMS provides tooling for ASAM A2L file generation from custom source code, ASAM standardized XCP calibration and measurement, and simulation of the XCU8 on Windows platforms.

The XCU8 is an evolution of the EM80-M, with a focus on functional safety, cybersecurity, and open communication standards. Its hardware is designed to meet ISO-26262 compliance requirements.
