Elektrobit’s Ahmad Abdelghany and dSPACE’s Gernot Mueller Szicsay explain how virtual ECU generation is transforming validation in software-defined vehicle (SDV) development.

Learn how to shift validation earlier in the development cycle and scale testing efficiently – reducing reliance on physical hardware while accelerating time to market.

Through a live demonstration, the experts show how EB tresos Studio and dSPACE SystemDesk seamlessly work together to generate virtual ECUs. These are then integrated into a Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) simulation using dSPACE VEOS, enabling continuous testing across virtual and real environments.

What you’ll learn:

• Why validation must shift from hardware-centric to software-centric in SDV architecture
• How to ensure continuity between virtual and real ECUs across development stages
• How early validation improves scalability, efficiency, and time-to-market
• How EB tresos Studio integrates with dSPACE’s tooling to make virtualization easier
