The use of digital twins in HiL simulation increases precision and flexibility in the development of electronic control units (ECUs). This virtualization has become an indispensable technology in terms of meeting increasing safety and security requirements.
By implementing a vECU in a virtual HiL simulator, the test coverage with regard to the safety and security aspects of a control unit can be drastically improved. The virtualization method described here opens up new possibilities for software testing, especially with regard to functional safety and cybersecurity.
