BMW to implement ADI’s E²B 10BASE-T1S Ethernet for its ambient lighting system design

BMW Group in its goal to move in the direction of software-defined vehicle adopted ADI's E²B technology, a 10BASE-T1S Ethernet for ambient lighting system design in the vehicles of the BMW Group in the future to the Edge bus technology. Ethernet connectivity in shaping the future of automotive design and meeting the demands of The BMW Group emerges as a frontrunner among original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) by embracing ADI's E²B technology for the implementation of automotive Ethernet connectivity, particularly in the design of ambient lighting systems for future BMW vehicles. Through close collaboration since 2018, ADI and the BMW Group have streamlined the integration of Ethernet to the Edge, leveraging ADI's 10BASE-T1S E²B technology to eliminate microcontrollers and centralize software tasks. This approach not only simplifies implementation but also reduces software development and qualification efforts. Addressing the growing importance of in-cabin experience, the partnership introduces a software-defined lighting system enabled by 10BASE-T1S with E²B technology. This innovation offers improved flexibility, ease of upgrade, and synchronization with other vehicle applications, meeting the evolving expectations of drivers and passengers. As the automotive industry moves towards standardization with an Open Standard implementation, ADI and BMW reaffirm their...
