AI-enabled ECU validation on AWS using Corellium Atlas virtual ECUs

This article describes how Infosys and Corellium built an AI-powered firmware validation pipeline on AWS that eliminates hardware bottlenecks in automotive software development by running production firmware on cloud-hosted virtual ECUs.

• Corellium Atlas hosts virtual NXP S32K344 ECUs in the cloud with instruction-set simulation and virtual peripherals
• AWS CodePipeline automates build, static analysis, deployment, and validation stages without manual intervention
• Amazon Bedrock Agents acts as an AI quality gate, making autonomous pass/block decisions and auto-logging failures to Jira or GitHub Issues
• Solution achieved 70% reduction in validation cycle time and eliminated hardware queue contention
• Failure-to-ticket time reduced from minutes to seconds with AI-generated root cause analysis
• Full audit trail via CloudTrail and CloudWatch meets ISO 21434 automotive cybersecurity requirements
• Security controls include IAM least-privilege roles, encrypted artifacts, and VPC-isolated Corellium API access

The solution enables parallel firmware validation without physical hardware, catches all functional failures before production, and provides complete traceability for automotive compliance frameworks.
