UP2DATE project has defined, implemented, and evaluated the procedures, architecture and middleware required to execute Over-the-air Software Updates (OTASU) in a safe and secure way.
Regarding progress per WP in the second period:
WP1. Smooth management of the project involving: organization of meetings (even with COVID-19 ), financial and administrative support, quality assurance and amendment preparation.
WP2: This WP has successfully achieved the requirement definition, platform selection and safety and security analysis of the selected boards.
WP3: The WP has defined the Mid UP2DATE architecture for on-line updates, refined the requirements, concept and design of secure communications based on the first evaluations in WP6; as well as defined the final architecture, taking into account the run-time updates. In addition, the WP has delivered the final version for the secure communications and the final recommendations regarding software updates based on the analysis of the last standards from different sectors.
WP4: The zero release of the SW update middleware was finished, which included board and tools setup for basic update services. First release was delivered with slight delays, implementing early prototypes of the concepts defined for the SW update middleware with on-line updates support. Next releases provided run-time updates implementation and refined version of the implementations.
WP5: The WP worked on the final refinement of the concepts for monitoring and control as well as the analysis of performance monitors for the final architecture considered in the project, and the implementation of the performance counter library on this platform and its overhead evaluation. Several releases were delivered of software implementation with the last one containing refined instrumentation libraries for both timing and performance counters for system and partition-wide monitoring, security monitoring, security auditing and software randomisation features for CPU and GPU.
WP6: This WP has been aimed to evaluate the technical developments of the project by integrating and testing them within two industrial use cases. As a result, a final version of UP2DATE technology and conclusions based on industrial figures have been obtained. All the evaluation results, even those collected from the research use case, the pedestrian detector, were gathered in a final report that describes the applicability and functionality of the defined, designed and implemented UP2DATE solution.
WP7: Dissemination activities were more target oriented with the preparation of the different press releases, the second batch of promotional material (including newsletters, flyers, videos, video news release) and social media activities for the exploitation and dissemination of UP2DATE as well as engagement with different industry, academy events and a final event to showcase UP2DATE results.
OVERVIEW OF THE RESULTS AND EXPLOITATION
UP2DATE project has produced 32 assets: 7 documentation/certifications, 5 pieces of demonstrators, 20 pieces of SW and associated documentation. The majority intended for commercial use and 9 of them shared among partners. These assets have been integrated in 3 use-cases (railway, automotive and research) and the conclusions reached will be made available through publications and a deliverable summarizing them.
