Our presentation introduces a state-of-the-art closed-loop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation framework designed specifically for testing automotive embedded systems with real hardware. The focus of our project is the front video camera system from Bosch GmbH’s advanced driver assistance systems product line. We present design, tools, architecture, methods and proof of concept, while highlighting the management challenges encountered. Our research with the project no. 2019-1.1.1-PIACI-KFI-2019-00129 has been implemented with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Innovation of Hungary from the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund.
