SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE DESIGN CHALLENGES IN AUTOMOTIVE EMBEDDED SYSTEMVLSICS Design
Modern automotives integrate large amount of electronic devices to improve the driving safety and comfort. This growing number of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) with sophisticated software escalates the vehicle system design complexity. In this paper we explain the complexity of ECUs in terms of hardware and software and also we explore the possibility of Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) architecture for the integration of add-on software in ECUs. This reduces the complexity of the embedded system in vehicles and eases the ECU integration by reducing the total number of ECUs in the vehicles.

Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are the fundamental electronic building blocks of any
automotive system. They are multi-purpose, multi-chip and multicore computer systems where
more functionality is delivered in software rather than hardware. ECUs are valuable assets for
the vehicles as critical time bounded messages are communicated through. Looking into the
safety criticality, already developed mission critical systems such as ABS, ESP etc, rely fully on
electronic components leading to increasing requirements of more reliable and dependable electronic systems in vehicles. Hence it is inevitable to maintain and monitor the health of an ECU which will enable the ECUs to be followed, assessed and improved throughout their lifecycle starting from their inception into the vehicle. In this paper, we propose a Health monitoring ECU that enables the early trouble shooting and servicing of the vehicle prior to any catastrophic failure.

INTRODUCTION
Modern automobiles’ Vehicle Control Units (VCUs) are designed and function largely thanks
to embedded technologies. The vehicle control unit (VCU) is an essential part that controls
the engine, transmission, brakes, and other subsystems of a car. Embedded systems make the
following contributions to VCU design:
1. Integration of Sensors:
VCUs’ embedded systems are in charge of combining data from numerous sensors located
throughout the car. This comprises data from accelerometers, gyroscopes, wheel speed
sensors, engine sensors, and other sensors that supply the VCU with the necessary
information to make judgments.
2. 2. Data Processing and Control:
The VCU’s embedded processors analyze incoming sensor data to make judgments regarding
the vehicle’s functioning in real-time. To maintain maximum performance and safety, this
entails regulating engine settings, controlling transmission shifts, and monitoring brake
systems.
3. Communication Protocols:

Drawbacks of embedded systems in VCU design
Although embedded systems are essential to the functioning and design of vehicle control
units (VCUs), using them has some disadvantages. To overcome obstacles and improve the
overall performance and dependability of automotive systems, it is critical to take these limits
into account. Among the disadvantages are:
1. Software Complexity:
Embedded systems in VCUs can execute extremely complicated applications. Complex
software can be difficult to manage and debug, and mistakes or flaws in the software can
have serious effects on a vehicle’s performance and safety.
