Danlaw signs up CANsystem in Korea for embedded software testing

US-based Danlaw, a global provider of connected vehicle telematics, automotive electronics and embedded engineering services with facilities in India and China, is teaming up with CANsystem, which has been serving Korean automotive OEMs and tier 1 suppliers for 12 years as a value added distributor of automotive embedded electronics tools and a provider of test and measurement solutions.

Korean automotive OEMs and suppliers will be able to enjoy the benefits of faster, more thorough automated testing of embedded software in automotive ECUs* through this partnership. 

Danlaw provides the tools, training, and professional services to help its clients take advantage of the Mx-Suite Embedded Software Test tool. Mx-Suite is used extensively across the  body, powertrain, safety and infotainment aspects of a vehicle to test development concepts using virtual prototypes, before the electronics are available. 

Mx-Suite is typically deployed to validate models (MIL), execute tests on developer-written or auto-coded software (SIL), as well as run tests with bench and hardware in the loop (HIL) equipment. 

"The Mx-Suite product line is clearly a unique offering that will refine the entire software development process through automation," said SeungHak Baek, President, CANsystem.

"CANsystem is a perfect fit for representing Danlaw's Mx-Suite product line as they have a stellar reputation for providing testing products and integrated solutions for automotive embedded electronics," said Dan McClung, VP Operations of Danlaw. 

Danlaw focuses on embedded systems development and testing for ECUs, vehicle network communications, infotainment, and telematics. Their customers include automotive OEMs, automotive electronics suppliers, fleet and automotive insurance companies worldwide. Learn more about their products here. 

*ECU, or electronic control unit, refers to an embedded system that controls part of the electrical system in a transport vehicle. Embedded systems are typically an integral part of the hardware and not readily removed or replaced by the end user. 

*MIL, SIL HIL are different testing stages within the simulation process, and are conducted with MIL first, and HIL last. They stand for Model-in-the-loop, Software-in-the-loop and Hardware-in-the-loop respectively.
