Unified in-vehicle and V2X communications platform

TTTech Auto and ZettaScale Technology are offering a unified communication platform for the automotive industry called Zetta Auto.

Zetta Auto is initially focusing on making Serviced-Oriented Architecture (SOA) communication safe, effective and predictable and looking at unification for cloud-to-MCU communications.

The platform delivers the unified integration of the Data Distribution Service (DDS), Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) and Zenoh (pub/sub/query) protocols.

The product empowers car manufacturers to harness the benefits of TSN facilitating real-time communication within vehicles. With the inclusion of the TSN tool suite and integration capabilities, car manufacturers can, says Zetta, quickly and efficiently achieve advanced functionality.

Zetta Auto’s approach for MCUs builds on Zenoh Pico, a lightweight implementation of Zenoh, to guarantee minimal CPU and memory usage.

It integrates with AUTOSAR Classic, simplifying the development process with its included toolchain, and reducing the need for software component modifications.

Zetta Auto is compatible with MotionWise, TTTech Auto’s Safety Middleware – on the road in millions of vehicles, and enables interoperability with established and standardised software stacks such as Robot Operating System 2 (ROS2) and AUTOSAR.

Zetta Auto will be extended with ASIL-D certification for in-vehicle communication in early 2024.

Zetta Auto is now available for automotive projects. There’s more information on the website. A downloadable Product Descriptionis is available.
