Conclusion

As automotive markets embrace SDVs and ECU consolidation through zone architectures, the push to centralize software will increase to allow for scalability and wire reduction. Remote-controlled edge nodes support this initiative by moving software upstream, consolidating it into fewer ECUs and simplifying OTA updates.

Multiple solutions such as 10BASE-T1S, CAN FD light and UART over CAN give system architects options for their specific design needs. Additionally, smart drivers with integrated diagnostic and control features further optimize remote-controlled edge implementations.
