TRACE32® SUPPORT FOR TDA5 SoC ACCELERATES DEVELOPMENT OF AUTONOMOUS DRIVING

Lauterbach Speeds Up Autonomous Driving in Software Defined Vehicles with Support for New TDA5 SoCs from Texas Instruments

 

 

Lauterbach, the world’s leading provider of debug and trace solutions, announces full support for the Texas Instruments TDA5 Synposys Virtualizer™ development kit (VDK), the digital twin of TI’s TDA5 next generation automotive driver assist SoCs, creating the foundation for vehicles to advance from basic driver assistance to autonomous driving.

The TI TDA5 SoC family delivers safe, scalable AI performance from 10-1200 TOPS with power- and safety-optimized processing, supporting up to Level 3 autonomous driving. Its chiplet-ready architecture allows OEMs to expand computing capabilities beyond traditional SoC limitations, future-proofing vehicles for evolving autonomous driving requirements. To provide the necessary computing power for this purpose, the SoC family features more than 20 high-performance Arm® Cortex cores and TI’s C7™ NPU.

Lauterbach’s TRACE32® debug and profiling solutions ensure complete system-level visibility for the TD5A SoC family and its digital twin, supporting functional safety and virtualized SDV platforms with multiple OSes. It provides AUTOSAR-aware debugging, containerized workloads support, and unlimited multicore debugging across heterogeneous Arm and other architectures, an unmatched capability in the tool industry.

Lauterbach’s TRACE32® debug and trace solutions are “SDV Ready,” supporting the full automotive software stack, and the entire Product Life Cycle (PLC) from virtual ECUs (“Shift Left”) including cloud-development to real silicon to in-field analyzes in the car. With proven expertise in safety certification, debugging, and system profiling, TRACE32® helps engineers build safe, secure, and innovative automotive systems. Its unique Hypervisor- and OS-awareness features give deep insight into applications, operating systems, and virtualized environments.

“The TI TDA5 SoC family delivers impressive AI performance for next generation vehicles”, says Stephan Lauterbach, Co-Founder and CTO at Lauterbach GmbH. “With the latest support of TRACE32® for the TDA5 VDK, we enable engineers to shift left and to develop their applications using our market-leading debug and trace solutions right from the start.”

Lauterbach’s collaboration with Texas Instruments and the wider automotive ecosystem empowers developers to create the foundation for autonomous driving and to accelerate their time-to-market.
