Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new architecture for automotive ECUs that incorporates security and dependability primitives with negligible performance, energy, and resources overhead. We implement our proposed ECU architecture on Xilinx Automotive (XA) Spartan-6 FPGA. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed architecture using a steer-by-wire (SBW) application over controller area network with flexible data rate (CAN FD) as a case study that considers major security-relevant use cases and constraints. We also optimize and implement a prior secure and dependable automotive work on the NXP quad-core iMX6Q SABRE automotive board. We further quantify performance, energy, and error resilience of our proposed architecture for our SBW case study. Results reveal that our proposed architecture can attain a speedup of 47.93× while consuming 2.4× lesser energy than optimized SABRE board implementation.
