Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping is commonly used throughout the development of any product and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) development is no different. Vehicle ECUs especially are becoming exponentially more complex while their development cycles are shrinking. Therefore rapid prototyping is even more important to allow for test and integration to progress regardless of hardware or software availability.

Any hardware or software component can be prototyped at any point in the development process. ATI's Rapid Prototyping solution focuses on the ECU specifically. ATI No-Hooks software-centric Rapid Prototyping is uniquely coupled with the ECU providing unprecedented flexibility and enabling an iterative process for experimenting with new features or testing new ideas. All changes are accomplished without the need of external hardware or software hooks. Most importantly, these ideas can be exercised on existing hardware, vastly reducing the validation process. When the idea is proven on the existing hardware, it can be implemented with a high confidence that will translate to saving time and money.
