What Happened
dSPACE is presenting practice-oriented solutions for the development and validation of embedded systems at embedded world 2026, in hall 4, booth 438. The company's focus is on technologies that accelerate, automate, and improve the robustness of development processes in safety-critical areas.
- A demonstrator integrating SIL and HIL test systems into CI/CT pipelines
- Integration of a neural network as a virtual sensor into the TargetLink code generator
- HydraVision, a scalable cybersecurity test framework for ECU development
- SCALEXIO Essential, an entry-level hardware-in-the-loop system for classic ECUs in the automotive sector
The CI/CT demonstrator shows how CI/CT workflows can be integrated into existing tool chains. It enables automated preparation of the test environment and cross-platform execution of tests, shortening development cycles and increasing test coverage. The solution integrates fully with common open-source tools for pipeline orchestration, such as GitLab.
Another demonstrator integrates a virtual sensor in the form of a neural network into TargetLink, dSPACE's code generator. This allows the ISO-certified TargetLink workflow to be used, and the neural network to be integrated into development processes for safety-critical ECUs.
With HydraVision, dSPACE offers a scalable cybersecurity test framework for the development of ECUs. It helps manufacturers and suppliers in various industries sustainably meet increasing security requirements by integrating cybersecurity tests into development, so potential vulnerabilities can be identified, evaluated, and mitigated early.
SCALEXIO Essential is dSPACE's entry-level solution for hardware-in-the-loop testing of classic ECUs. It is available with a fully-fledged software package and offers all essential functions for basic HIL applications. The system has a quad-core processor, freely programmable FPGAs, bus and network interfaces, analog and digital connections, resistance simulation, relay channels, and current measurement channels. It can also be applied in the agricultural and construction machinery industry, and because it uses the proven dSPACE software tool chain, a seamless transition to other dSPACE systems is possible.
Why this matters
These tools help engineers test safety-critical electronics faster and more thoroughly, catching bugs and security weaknesses before they reach vehicles or machines. dSPACE's solutions are aimed at manufacturers and suppliers who build electronic control units, and the entry-level HIL system broadens access to companies in automotive, agriculture, and construction. For beginners, the key idea is that automated testing and early security checks make comple…
