Problem
Modern intelligent vehicles require high-security, real-time in-vehicle middleware to ensure reliable data transmission across heterogeneous chips, a task made difficult by the increasing complexity and safety requirements of autonomous driving systems. Existing solutions often struggle to provide deterministic performance and the necessary safety certifications for mass production.
Solution
Lingnian Technology develops mass-production-ready operating systems and middleware for intelligent driving vehicles, with a focus on high-security and real-time performance. Their core offering includes a self-developed dual-communication middleware that ensures reliable and deterministic data transmission across heterogeneous chips within autonomous driving systems. This middleware supports both time-triggered and event-triggered scheduling mechanisms, allowing for flexible task arrangement and predictable execution. Lingnian Technology's products are designed to facilitate the creation of safe, scalable, and open software platforms for various automotive applications, including ADAS, EE architecture, and chassis control. The company also provides engineering services, including software architecture assessment,量产 service packages, and functional safety training, to help customers achieve their production goals.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and technology companies developing autonomous driving systems, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and other intelligent vehicle applications.
Features
- **PowerDS:** Deterministic scheduling middleware ensuring time-triggered and event-triggered task execution across multiple nodes and chips. Includes a graphical modeling tool (Connector) and a monitoring tool (Runtime).
- **PowerAP:** Adaptive AUTOSAR-compliant middleware supporting service-oriented architecture (SOA) and communication protocols like SomeIP, DDS, and SHM. Includes a graphical modeling tool (ConnectorPowerAP) and an automated modeling tool.
- **SafeDDS:** DDS communication protocol stack for MCU endpoints, enabling multi-core heterogeneous system communication and seamless integration with AUTOSAR CP platforms.
- **PowerTF:** A test framework that uses modeling to generate test keywords, combined with Robot Framework, to quickly and automatically generate test cases, assisting cloud-based test management tools to form a complete chain of fully automated testing.
- **SomeIP-DDS_Converter:** A plugin that converts SomeIP data to DDS data, and then transmits the data through DDS, providing another way of thinking for SomeIP debugging.
- Supports multi-chip, cross-domain scheduling and scenario switching.
- Compliant with ISO26262 safety requirements.
- Offers lightweight security services and mass production services.
- Provides a CarOS software platform solution, an integrated operating system solution designed for future cars.
- Offers a HCP cabin-driving integrated software architecture solution, adopting an advanced "central computing + regional control" mode.
