Elektrobit announces highly-anticipated EB tresos 9 update for automotive ECU development

New software supports AUTOSAR R20-11 specification and integrates industry-leading cyber security intrusion detection technology from Argus Cyber Security, on-board diagnostics, OTA firmware updates and more; simplifies development of complex systems

Elektrobit announced the immediate availability of EB tresos 9, the new iteration of its industry-leading basic software enabling carmakers and suppliers to develop next-generation electronic control units (ECUs) based on the latest AUTOSAR standard. The update fully supports AUTOSAR R20-11 and integrates the industry-leading onboard intrusion-detection capabilities in Argus CAN IDPS, developed by CES 2023 innovation award winner Argus Cyber Security.  

Michael Robertson, vice president, global product management and strategy, Elektrobit said, “EB tresos 9’s off-the-shelf functionality and reusability allows the development of more software features, for more vehicles, in less time.”

EB tresos 9 specifically streamlines the development of software features that comply with the latest standards for security and safety, including ISO/SAE 21434 for cyber security risk management and SAE J1979-2 for on-board emissions diagnostics, which will be mandatory for vehicles in the US as of 2027. It monitors traffic, detects threats and anomalies, and offers prevention mechanisms for common attacks such as denial of service and brute force. EB tresos 9 also fulfills the firmware-over-the-air requirements defined by AUTOSAR for updating ECUs during normal vehicle operation. 

Elektrobit intends to make continued updates to the EB tresos line as further updates are made to the AUTOSAR standard. In addition, EB tresos 9 roadmap includes measures for a higher degree of automation for reducing costs and enhancing development efficiencies of teams and a new, state-of-the-art graphical user interface to make it easier and more intuitive to use.
