ASAM has published whitepaper on the integration of ASAM SOVD and eSync platform to enhance OTA upload capabilities

The automotive industry is rapidly evolving with vehicles becoming increasingly complex and software-driven. This shift brings significant advantages such as enhanced functionality and connectivity but also introduces new challenges in both vehicle development and maintenance.  These challenges become especially apparent during a vehicle’s operational phase, where reliable and secure software updates and Diagnostics are essential. To address these issues, both ASAM and eSync offer solutions that enable over-the-air (OTA) software updates and Diagnostics.

In this whitepaper, ASAM and eSync Alliance demonstrate how integrating ASAM SOVD with the eSync platform creates a powerful, standardized framework for OTA updates and remote Diagnostics.

Key takeaways from the whitepaper:
• ASAM SOVD and eSync together offer a scalable, secure, and future-ready solution for SDV lifecycle management.
• They form a robust framework for remote access via standardized, cloud-based diagnostic and update interfaces.
• They enable to manage safe and reliable OTA update processes across the vehicle lifecycle.
• They support predictive Diagnostics and improved fleet management.

The whitepaper was authored by Madhav Gudimetla (eSync Alliance), Ahmed Sadek (ASAM e.V.), and Boris Böhlen (DSA Daten- und Systemtechnik GmbH)
