The presentation gives current insights into efficient data acquisition for ADAS and autonomous driving ECUs and how this benefits from a modular approach, enabling these setups to be reused for the next generation. It focuses on hardware and software mechanisms to tap out data during a test drive or on HIL benches. It also covers the decoupling of ECU internals with breakout boards, PCI Express as an alternative to ethernet when transferring data, and the advantages of decentralized setups. An architecture with an interface to simplify the integration of chip vendor or – in general – specific libraries, for example, bus simulation for diverse test scenarios. These design principles support precise and efficient data collection in increasingly complex systems.

• Advantages of both distributed and centralized logging
• PCI Express as a measurement interface for domain controllers
• Standards for ethernet as ASAM CMP and MDF4
• Software integration approach into a logger for vendor-specific software blocks
