of a hypervisor is the secure separation of the workloads running on it, which in turn, greatly
supports the idea of modularized development. Though one can debate the use of CANbus over
Ethernet, that approach can limit the total IoT, end-to-end approach. Moving onto or selecting
Ethernet reinforces the common approach and trends to downsize proven IT approaches speeds
application design as well as the data movement upstream as part of a larger IoT initiative. If
there is a need to preserve existing device networks, such as CANbus into a new system design,
working with an open gateway can work as an evolutionary, intermediary step to a longer term
single network solution.
Figure 15 To the left, E/E design of a car today (simplified). To the right, the proposed new design with many ECU functions
virtualized onto the Head Unit (HU), turning it into a Master Control Unit.
Driven by the new approach, it would now be possible to have one engineering group designing
the Navigational software while another group designs the HVAC functions or the radio. A
software defined networking stack will make sure that the various services are fenced off (micro
segmented) against ea
