Vehicle systems have become much more complex with ECUs consolidated into domain controllers and hosting multiple functions on one SOC. The introduction of Android makes cars look like mobile phones, but with a longer lifetime of 10-15 years. Together with OTA updates, this results in many more memory write cycles that can make the flash wear out before end of life of the car. Fragmentation is observed to have an impact on performance in mobile devices – and could simply break an automotive system. In this session, we describe the challenges faced and the solutions to mitigate the risk of memory failures in current and future vehicle systems.
