Sibros Teams with STMicroelectronics to Deliver Next Generation OTA for Connected Vehicles

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sibros Technologies, a pioneer of deep Over-the-Air (OTA) connected vehicle systems, today announced a collaboration with global semiconductor leader STMicroelectronics, within the ST Partner Program.

Through the cooperation, Sibros has paired its Deep OTA Updater and Logger embedded applications with the ST Smart Gateway Platform (SGP), featuring STA1385 Automotive Microprocessor, SPC58NH Automotive Microcontroller and a Secure element.

Developers working with Sibros-enabled ST products can now rapidly integrate, test and deploy out-of-the-box OTA innovations for deep Electronics Control Unit (ECU) software updates, live data logging, remote commands, predictive maintenance and more, in support of connected vehicle prototyping, validation testing and production launches.

The combined solution takes full advantage of ST’s reference smart gateway platform featuring STA1385 microprocessor as OTA orchestrator receiving and authenticating firmware updates and forwarding to the SPC58NH microcontroller for dispatching to the target ECU.

The STA1385 and SPC58NH processors feature an embedded HSM and a wide range of connectivity capabilities to ensure secure, fast and high data rate communication across all ECUs that seamlessly work with Sibros’ OTA cloud platform to orchestrate software update rollouts, optimize fleet health and protect connected vehicle data across any set of makes, models or geographies.

“ST products play a critical role in the future of software defined and connected vehicle innovation. By meshing Sibros’ award winning OTA solutions with ST’s market leading gateway and controller products, our mutual customers can tap into a powerful combination of secure, reliable and high performance chipsets to bring never before seen connected vehicle services to the marketplace,” stated Mayank Sikaria, CTO of Sibros.

“As a leading supplier for Smart driving solutions, ST offers a complete set of cybersecurity products to enable the growing need of technologies for automotive over-the-air software updates,” said Luca Rodeschini, Automotive Processing and RF Division General Manager, STMicroelectronics. “Sibros’ Deep OTA Updater and Logger embedded applications effectively complement ST processors’ portfolio and deliver a high performance, robust and comprehensive solution for connected vehicles,” added Rodeschini.

Founded by former Tesla, Faraday, Uber and GM engineers, Sibros developed one of the first deep OTA software update and data management platforms designed to work on any vehicle network architecture and with all in-vehicle ECUs, compliant with GDPR, WP.29 and other critical functional safety, cybersecurity and data privacy standards frameworks. The company’s solutions have been adopted by some of the world's most valuable automotive industry startups and manufacturers who seek to securely manage all in-vehicle software and data across vehicles, networks and the cloud, from R&D to end-of-life to enable the connected vehicle ecosystem of the future.

Sibros’ software-first approach empowers OEMs to reduce software recalls while addressing hundreds of connected vehicle use cases spanning fleet management, predictive maintenance, owner personalization, data monetization and beyond.
