Products Elektrobit and Argus Cyber Security have launched what they say is the industry’s first intrusion detection and prevention solution for highly developed Ethernet communication systems in software-defined vehicles of the next generation. The EB zoneo SwitchCore Shield recognizes possible threats early in the switch so that they are unable to penetrate into the host microcontroller. The pre-integrated, series-ready package also enables shorter times-to-market. The vehicle implementation enables manufacturers to not only fulfill the UN R155 and the Chinese GB/T standards but also to extend protection even further. The flexible and powerful solution is said to make it possible to evaluate the recognized data and to make quick decisions which measures should be taken against an attempted attack.

Teraki, an AI-software company based in Berlin (Germany), has launched new radar recognition software that can identify stationary and moving objects with high precision and low computing power. The Real-Traffic solution runs on Infineon's ASIL-D compliant AURIX-TC4x microcontrollers. The machine learning approach used is reported to be able to overcome interference and fulfill the very high accuracy requirements by processing raw data and reducing noise. This results in more points per object and hence fewer false alarms and hence more safety. The algorithm reduces the radar signals according to the first Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) and thus achieves a factor of 25 lower error rate for missing objects for the same RAM/fps. Compared to CFAR, the accuracy of the classification is up to 20 % higher and the number of valid recognitions increases by 15 %.
Softing Automotive has presented TCS, a new product for the simulation of individual control units up to entire vehicles. The diagnosis simulation is suitable for all cases where the ECU is not yet or no longer available for test purposes, for example for function validation in early stages of development, tester regression tests, and training. The system allows test sequences to be created and verified during control unit and vehicle development. The entire communication path is tested including the vehicle interface and cabling so that all sources of error can be excluded. The Softing solution consists of simulation hardware, a configuration application, and an API for integration into test automation hardware.

Elektrobit | Argus Cyber Security | Fully Integrated Switch Firmware © Elektrobit dSpace | 60-GHz Radar Converter dSpace has expanded its portfolio in the field of radar target simulation. The DARTS HBC-7066V is a converter that enables every dSpace Automotive Radar Test System (DARTS) to operate in the 60 GHz-V band. The easy-to-use over-the-air test methods in the DARTS product family guarantee the validation of the entire sensor transmission channel. In combination with different base units, short distances of less than 1 m can be simulated or 5-GHz processing bandwidth can be supported.

NXP Semi conductors | Radar Transceiver
NXP Semiconductors has released the second generation of its RFCMOS radar transceiver family for production. The TEF82xx is optimized for fast chirp modulation and supports short-, medium-and long-range radar applications, including cascaded high-resolution radar and 360° sensing for critical security applications. The fully integrated RFCMOS chip includes three transmitters, four receivers, ADC converters, phase rotators and low phase noise VCOs. Also integrated are safety monitors and external interfaces for MIPI-CSI2 and LVDS.

Microchip Technology | Chip for Cybersecurity
Microchip Technology has launched the PIC32CM JH family of microcontrollers (MCU) equipped with functions to implement functional safety standard ISO 26262 and cybersecurity ISO/SAE 21434 applications. The MCU based on the Arm Cortex-M0+ architecture offers Autosar support, memory built-in selftest (MBIST), and secure boot. The PIC32CM JH can be paired with one of Microchip's security ICs, the Trust Anchor TA100 CryptoAutomotive making it compliant with ISO/SAE 21434. The TA100 uses secure hardware-based cryptographic key storage and cryptographic countermeasures to eliminate potential backdoors associated with software weaknesses.

Mobility | Programmable Key
With version Key-Sharing 3.0, Cognizant Mobility has implemented new functions in its digital vehicle key system. So for example the vehicle key can be given to other people including the previously defined settings and limitations (range limit, speed, only open and lock to keep items in the vehicle). According to the company, three different technologies form the basis of the di gital key, that is NFC (Near Field Com muni cation), UWB (Ultra-Wideband) and Bluetooth. The un derlying CCC (Car Con nectivity Consortium) standard uses the UWB technology for location-based functions and improved usability.

Rohde & Schwarz | Extended Test Option for Radar
The R&S ATS1500C antenna test chamber now offers a new temperature test option and a new feed antenna. The option Temp creates a temperature controlled environment for the radar system to be tested and supports a temperature range from -40 °C to 85 °C. In addition, the system can be equipped with the universal feed antenna ARC-FX90 that supports 60 to 90 GHz. The antenna includes an orthomode transducer that enables access to vertical and horizontal polarizations.
