Elektrobit and Microchip Launch Pre-Integrated AUTOSAR Solution for Next-Gen Automotive Platforms

Elektrobit and Microchip Partner to Launch Pre-Integrated AUTOSAR Solution for Next-Generation Automotive Platforms

— The collaboration integrates Elektrobit's AUTOSAR software and toolchain with Microchip's automotive microprocessor platforms, aiming to help OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers reduce integration effort and development risk while accelerating time-to-market.

Elektrobit, a global automotive software expert, and Microchip Technology, a semiconductor supplier dedicated to making innovative design easier through comprehensive system solutions, announced a collaboration to simplify and accelerate AUTOSAR software development on Microchip automotive platforms, helping automakers and suppliers improve development efficiency.

As the automotive industry accelerates its transition toward software-defined vehicles (SDVs), OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers face immense pressure to shorten development cycles while ensuring safety, product quality, and solution flexibility. By combining Microchip's automotive hardware platforms with Elektrobit's AUTOSAR software, toolchain, and automation capabilities, the two companies will help customers build production-ready software foundations faster and more efficiently.

This collaboration will provide customers with pre-integrated AUTOSAR Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) software built on the commercially proven EB tresos product suite, helping development teams quickly ramp up projects and reduce software integration complexity and project risk. The joint solution enables developers to rapidly focus on application development and vehicle differentiation without expending significant effort on low-level base software integration.

Mark Reiten, Senior Vice President of the Licensing, Storage Products, and Intelligent Computing Business Unit at Microchip, said: "By combining Microchip's automotive platforms with Elektrobit's AUTOSAR expertise and toolchain, we will help customers streamline development processes and accelerate the deployment of next-generation automotive architectures. Together, we are helping developers move more smoothly from platform evaluation to production deployment."

In this joint solution, Elektrobit adopts an automation-first approach through Integration-as-code, transforming repetitive Classic AUTOSAR integration work into reusable, executable logic, helping development teams accelerate delivery and scale capacity through automation. This also lays the foundation for further workflow automation and the future introduction of AI-assisted software configuration and development processes.

Jaganathan Rajagopalan, Vice President and Head of Strategy and Product Portfolio at Elektrobit, said: "Automakers are seeking to accelerate software innovation while reducing development cost and complexity. Our collaboration with Microchip combines a production-proven, automotive-grade software foundation with directly adaptable hardware platforms, helping customers reduce integration risk and accelerate the deployment of software-defined vehicle innovations."

This collaboration will continue to expand coverage to additional Microchip automotive platforms. Elektrobit has currently completed adaptation of EB tresos AutoCore OS and EB tresos AutoCore Generic modules on Microchip's SAMA5 series microprocessors, and the related solutions are now available to customers. As the collaboration progresses, more platforms will be supported in the future.

The two companies plan to focus initial marketing efforts on high-growth automotive segments in Asia, including the rapidly growing two-wheeler market, while continuing to expand opportunities across broader automotive markets in Asia and North America.
