Description Modular test kernel has a generic and a project related parts. Higly modular can b
and HW platforms. Has a standardized communication interface, a system interfac
interface. Modules for board interface can be easely developed and integrated into
SW interfaces.

Development steps ● Define general kernel functionalities

(WPs)
● Define the modular archietecture and interface standard
● Define and develop communication interface
● Define the modular structure of the kernel
● Define and develop standar kernel modules
● Define and develop multi-kernek synchronization and communication for multi-mic
● Define and develop the kernel security interface
● Define and implement kernel validation checklist and installation/configuration proc
● Disseminate information, documentation. Organize trainings.
● Set-up the test kernel Continental internal standard

Estimated Project ● HC: 2 developers, 1 archietect, 1 PM

Expenses and Duration
● Time: 1 year (2020)
● Additional costs (excluding HC) for licences, HW, development tools: 120 KEUR

Benefits ● Test time reduction and HW/SW blockages reduced by more than 60%
● Test cost reduction by more than 25%
● Increase Test reuse by more than 60%
● Reduce HW development time, in preDV and DV phases by more than 30%
● Reduce R&D costs by 25%
