ETAS takes stake of FPGA expert PLC2 Design
Data acquisition and processing is considered essential for the realisation of software-defined vehicles. For this reason, ETAS and PLC2 Design plan to jointly develop an overall solution that enables the realistic validation of sophisticated customer software in the AD/DA environment. The plan is to enable customers to provide solutions for software-defined vehicles faster, safer and more efficiently.
贱民”投资组合包括基本的工具软件,middleware and development tools for the realisation of software-defined vehicles. PLC2 Design, headquartered in Freiburg, Germany, offers design services and develops products related to FPGA and embedded systems. In addition, PLC2 Design is a provider of professional training and education around the embedded market, specialising in AMD/Xilinx technologies. The cooperation with the Bosch subsidiary ETAS was preceded by close collaboration between PLC2 Design and the Bosch Cross-Domain Computing Solutions division. Joint projects have resulted in open and modular solutions that can now be offered to all OEMs and Tier1s.
With the partnership, ETAS will complete the measurement technology portfolio in the areas of In-Vehicle Data Pre-Processing and Edge Computing / High-Performance Data Logging. PLC2 Design will enter the global market via the ETAS sales structure and will focus on its main field of innovative product development. As a result, ETAS and PLC2 Design will be able to offer a complete solution for data measurement directly at the data source, data logging and data analysis from a single source.
添加到ETAS投资组合中的产品包括ADL-1000作为高性能，低功率和可定制的数据记录系统和Edge Accelerator，以及PLC2 Grabber Card PGC-1000 - 高性能的PCIE卡，用于计算出口计算。密集算法可以减轻市售数据记录系统的负担。这甚至可以使用中端PC，即使是要求开发任务，并减少了对昂贵的多处理器计算机的需求。同样，用于用于无损视频压缩和减压的基于FPGA的IP核心（PLC2 L5），用于边缘设备上的各种应用，在云中，数据降低了60％。
The existing and future PLC2 Design product portfolio is to be marketed in the automotive market exclusively via ETAS as a system component of an overall solution. In order to put the cooperation on a long-term basis, ETAS has acquired a minority stake in PLC Design in an undisclosed amount.
