Eclipse digital.auto Blueprint
Collaborative software-defined vehicle development:
Eclipse S-CORE meets EPAM AosEdge
Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) are transforming the automotive industry. But OEMs face rising platform complexity, growing development costs, and the need for continuous innovation – all under strict safety requirements.
​
digital.auto brings multiple organizations together to tackle these challenges. Our #digitalfirst approach applies software best practices to automotive development:​​
-
Shift Left: Test and validate earlier in the lifecycle to cut costs, reduce risks, and accelerate iterations.
-
Shift North: Focus on customer-facing innovation, UX validation, and new business models early in development.
The Eclipse digital.auto Blueprint brings this vision to life. It shows how collaboration across organizations can solve these challenges by integrating Eclipse S-CORE architecture with EPAM AosEdge open-source assets.​
Eclipse digital.auto Blueprint
The blueprint combines Eclipse S-CORE with EPAM AosEdge, providing a unified platform for:
-
Virtual prototyping: Test features against real vehicle APIs in the cloud.
-
Mixed-critical deployment: Run safely on both simulated and real hardware.
-
Seamless migration: Move from prototype to production-ready vehicle environments.
Industry Benefits
​Open collaboration in SDV development enables:
-
Faster innovation via standardized, reusable interfaces.
-
Higher safety & quality through community-driven validation.
-
Sustainable development by reducing duplication.
-
Focus on differentiation: Developers can work on innovative features, not reinventing the wheel.
Blueprint Capabilities
-
Mixed-criticality foundation: Run safety-critical and fast-evolving features side by side.
-
Standardized, open interfaces: Simplify integration and avoid vendor lock-in.
-
Edge orchestration made easy: Deploy, run, update, and monitor containerized services efficiently.
-
Clear path from prototype to production: Reuse across programs and reduce total cost of ownership.
Partnership in Action
Collaboration drives innovation:​
-
Eclipse S-CORE: Collaborative, open, modular core that reduces integration effort and raises safety.
-
AosEdge (by EPAM): Deploy & orchestrate containerized edge services safely and efficiently.
-
digital.auto: Shift-left / shift-north tools & methods for rapid prototyping with a path to production.​
From Blueprint to Reality
IAA Mobility Hackathon | Sep 11, 2025
See first implementations at the IAA Mobility Hackathon in Munich
The first implementation is already live on EDCAR, digital.auto's vintage sports SDV test vehicle! We're demonstrating real-world use cases like Bring-Your-Own-Device and vehicle protection with S-CORE + AosEdge.
Partners
Get Involved! The initiative is open by design. Whether you are an OEM, supplier, or developer, join us to shape the future of SDVs:
-
Review: Check the blueprint and give feedback via issues and pull requests.
-
Contribute: Add components aligned with S-CORE.
-
Pilot: Test the stack on vehicle hardware or HIL.
-
Join: Participate in digital.auto working sessions and roadmap discussions.
