High-speed Flashing with Ed & Ted – Get it Done!

Software-defined vehicles (SDV) and new E/E architectures place high demands on diagnostics, vehicle access and data management. The need for software updates is increasing, as is the amount of data that needs to be transferred. 

Particularly in time-critical phases of the vehicle life cycle, especially in production, reading and flashing large volumes of data poses a technical and logistical challenge. In addition to pure programming speed, reliability plays a key role here. In addition, different vehicle types – from mid-range vehicles to SUVs – are often produced on the production line in random rotation. In the near future, around 50 GB of data per vehicle type and model series will have to be stored accordingly. Conventional methods are often too slow and unreliable here. 

The Smart Vehicle Interface Softing SVI is a high-performance platform for modern ECU programming with continuous data supply. The solution combines the advantages of the high-speed wireless connection of a smart device with the classic diagnostic functions of a high-end vehicle communication interface (VCI) and thus enables fast, reliable and flexible flash programming of large amounts of data.
