Tata Elxsi, Synopsys Partner To Deliver Advanced Virtualisation Solutions

Tata Elxsi Ltd. on Friday said it has signed an initial agreement with Synopsys to jointly deliver advanced automotive virtualisation solutions aimed at easing development and deployment of virtual electronic control units, or ECUs, for software-defined vehicles.

The collaboration will combine Tata Elxsi's strengths in embedded systems and integration with Synopsys’ widely used virtualisation platforms, helping global automotive OEMs and suppliers reduce complexity, costs, and reliance on physical prototypes, the company said.

Both companies are already working together on projects involving software bring-up, board support package integration, and early-stage validation across domains like powertrain, body control, and central compute. They also plan to scale the deployment of digital twins for multi-ECU and application-specific systems.
