Automakers are anticipating and exploring new ways to elevate their customers’ overall driving experience and generate revenue from the transformations offered by Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), electrification, and artificial intelligence. But with this journey comes numerous challenges in establishing and efficiently keeping pace with innovation and managing the increased need for software and the enormous amount of data incoming from the intelligent vehicle edge.
To help meet both the opportunities and the challenges, Red Hat and Sonatus have collaborated to offer a powerful pre-integrated solution that revolutionizes vehicle data collection and management on gateway ECUs. The solution combines the open, safe, and secure foundation of the Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System with Sonatus Collector, a dynamically configurable modern data collection product. Together, these technologies empower manufacturers to enhance vehicle quality, reduce operational costs, navigate regulatory landscapes effectively, and enhance the customer experience while addressing specific needs across diverse OEM segments.
As an example of the potential of this combined solution, the two companies demonstrated advanced diagnostics of an EV Battery Management System (BMS), which is documented in a solution brief from the companies. BMS technology is rapidly evolving, and new algorithms are always being developed. As vehicles are produced at scale, advanced queries can unearth big data insights from across the fleet, unlocking new opportunities for optimization. This demonstration, implemented on a reference system from a modern vehicle ECU demonstrates the ability to rapidly evolve queries and produce a rapid feedback cycle of learning not possible with conventional approaches.

The transition to SDVs is just beginning, but the critical underpinning technologies matter. Sonatus and RedHat are proud to collaborate to speed the path to advanced edge devices that unleash the power and promise to deliver benefits to OEMs and drivers alike.
