Automotive and Embedded Systems

Virtual Hardware for automotive and embedded software testing and development. Corellium Atlas helps teams run, debug, automate, and test software on virtual Arm-based systems without the complication of physical boards, test benches, prototypes, or silicon availability schedules.

Build before the board arrives

Software should not stall because the right board, test bench, prototype, or silicon revision is hard to access. Atlas gives teams virtual Arm-based systems they can use earlier in development, without forcing every test through a physical lab asset.
  • Run software against a virtual hardware target
  • Debug issues from a controlled state
  • Return to a saved state instead of rebuilding the setup

    Virtualize connected vehicle systems, not just individual boards.
    Modern vehicle software depends on a growing set of connected systems, from mobile apps and ECUs to gateways, sensors, central compute, dashboards, and cloud pipelines. Atlas helps teams validate how those systems work even when the full physical environment is not available.

  • Model the full connected vehicle architectures

  • Run production firmware on every virtual ECU

  • Integrate with tools like Vector CANoe for integration with existing SIL/HIL infrastructure

    • Test connected vehicle software across more of the stack.

    Atlas helps software-defined vehicle (SDV) teams keep development and testing moving when hardware access is limited.

    ECU software testing

    Run production firmware on virtual ECUs and automate build, test, and execution.

    Connected vehicle feature testing

    Test how mobile apps, vehicle software, communications protocols, and dashboards interact for features such as unlock, temperature control, and status updates.

    Vehicle system modeling

    Model how connected apps, central compute, gateways, infotainment, driver assistance, and in-vehicle networks work together.

    Automotive test tool integration

    Connect virtual vehicle software into existing tools, including CAN-based test environments, so teams can test without rebuilding their process.

    ADAS software testing

    Run driver assistance workflows on virtual Arm-based systems to test planning, routing, and actuation logic earlier in development.

    Integrate AI assistance into testing workflows.

    AI-assisted tools can help teams move faster by reducing the manual work around testing, including setup, scripting, workflow automation, log review, and result formatting. Atlas helps teams bring AI assistance into the testing workflow where it can improve efficiency without changing how engineers review results or decide what moves forward. Teams can streamline repetitive work, keep testing structured, and make decisions based on the outputs their workflows produce.

    Align with automotive safety and security requirements.

    Automotive software teams need confidence that safety-critical software behaves as expected before it moves forward. That requires repeatable testing across functional safety, automotive cybersecurity, software update management, and software quality requirements.



    Atlas helps teams test earlier, reproduce issues consistently, and validate security-relevant behavior before late-stage hardware access limits what teams can test.

    Automotive systems are rarely designed for use in automated testing frameworks. Remote power supplies and terminal servers are fragile and cumbersome. There are never enough test stands.
    Atlas bridges the gap from automotive technology to IT native interfaces. REST APIs are the lingua franca of automation and web development. AWS hosting scales to meet engineering need. MCP servers enable agentic support in creating comprehensive test plans.

    Automotive software testing does not happen in one tool. Atlas helps teams connect virtual hardware targets into AWS CI/CD workflows, SIL-kit based testing, AI-assisted workflow automation, and issue tracking systems. That gives teams a practical bridge between virtual execution and the engineering systems used to build, test, triage, and release vehicle software.

    Automotive and embedded software issues are difficult to reproduce when teams do not share the same hardware setup, system state, or lab access. Atlas gives distributed engineering, security, OEM, and supplier teams a shared virtual target they can reset, script, reuse, and use to reproduce issues more consistently.

    Automotive and embedded teams work across cloud environments, internal data centers, supplier ecosystems, and restricted networks. Atlas supports flexible deployment options so teams can test where their engineering, security, and data requirements demand it.
    • Deploy in secure cloud environments for scalable testing
    • Run on internal servers within data centers
    • Use private AWS-based options where dedicated cloud environments are required
    • Full support for isolated or air-gapped environments used by regulated teams

    FAQ

    Common questions automotive and embedded teams ask.

    Yes. Atlas helps teams run and test software on virtual Arm-based systems before physical boards, test benches, prototypes, or silicon are broadly available. Teams can start earlier, reproduce issues more consistently, and reduce the amount of work waiting on physical hardware access. 

    No. Atlas complements physical testing by helping teams test more software with more comprehensive automation. Physical testing remains important, but it should not be the first time critical issues surface. 

    Atlas gives teams virtual targets for running software, reproducing failures, automating tests, and checking connected vehicle behavior earlier in the development cycle. Teams can test across virtual ECUs, automotive interactions, connected apps, gateways, dashboards, and other vehicle software components. 

    Atlas gives teams a virtual hardware target they can use when boards, benches, prototypes, or silicon are scarce, remote, fragile, or still under development. Teams can keep testing, debugging, and issue reproduction moving without waiting for the next available physical asset. 

    All Atlas interfaces are fully exposed via MCP servers enabling easy integration into the agentic framework of your choice for automation, testing, and extension. Extensive open–source extension examples prime your coding agent to extend Atlas to meet your needs. 

    Yes. Atlas is designed to support existing engineering workflows, including virtual hardware targets, AWS-based pipelines, SIL-kit based testing environments, issue tracking systems, and automotive test tools. Teams can bring virtual testing into the tools and processes they already use instead of rebuilding their workflow from scratch. 

    Teams can use Atlas to test ECU software, connected vehicle features, real-time control software, sensor interactions, driver assistance workflows, software update readiness, and other embedded software running on Arm-based systems. 

    Atlas helps teams test earlier, reproduce issues consistently, and validate security-relevant behavior across programs shaped by functional safety, automotive cybersecurity, software update management, and software quality requirements. This supports more structured testing before late-stage hardware access limits what teams can test.
