Intelligent Communication Framework from Prototype to Production

Designed to support the development of today's autonomous and software-defined vehicles, RTI Connext Drive is a communication framework that minimizes overall system complexity and cost, while building a future-proof, evolving system that doesn't compromise performance. Connext Drive includes direct integration into AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive. This integration enables functional safety across ECUs to zonal gateways, high-performance compute and digital cockpit, establishing a modular footprint optimized for each architectural component.

Automakers looking to streamline development and fast-track success through an open architecture are increasingly turning to Connext Drive to slash development time and reduce the need for proprietary programming.

Security Process Certified

RTI has achieved ISO 21434 security certification by TÜV SÜD for Trusted Software Development Process. This process is the foundation for RTI's development and delivery of ISO 21434-certified products, providing essential cybersecurity protection for automotive E/E systems.

Interoperable

Included with Connext Drive, the RTI Connext Integration Toolkit for AUTOSAR Classic:

  • Speeds development through automatic conversion of data type definitions across standard formats (OMG® IDL, OMG DDS-XML and AUTOSAR ARXML) and
  • Generates C code for data conversion and marshaling between the runtime environment (RTE) and DDSTM communication frameworks.

The DDS standard is included in the AUTOSAR Adaptive specification, enabling OEMs to meet the demanding requirements of High Performance Computing (HPC).

Included with Connext Drive, the RTI Connext Integration Toolkit for AUTOSAR Adaptive provides a code generator for application-specific DDS Network Binding assets plus a library implementing the AUTOSAR Communications Management DDS Network Binding.

With Connext Drive, developers can:

  • Leverage additional technologies outside the AUTOSAR specification,
  • Gain a simple integration path to other distributed systems, and
  • Provide a path to future-proofing current investments.
