In order to solve these problems of distributed EEA, people have gradually integrated many ECU functions that are similar or separated into
a processor hardware platform with stronger performance than ECU, which is the automotive “Domain Control Unit (DCU)”. The emergence of
domain controllers is an important milestone in the evolution of automotive EE architecture from ECU distributed EE architecture to domain centralized EE
architecture (as shown in Figure 2-2).
The domain controller is the core of every functional domain in the automotive industry, mainly composed of three parts: the domain main control processor,
the operating system, and application software and algorithms. Platformization, high integration, high performance, and good compatibility are the main core
design ideas of domain controllers. By relying on high-performance domain controller processors, abundant hardware interface resources, and powerful software features, domain controllers can integrate core
functions that originally required many ECUs, greatly improving system functionality integration. In addition, standardized interfaces for data exchange can greatly reduce
the development and manufacturing costs of this part.
For the specific division of functional domains, each automotive host manufacturer will divide them into several different domains based on their own design concepts
. For example, BOSCH is divided into five domains: Power Train, Chassis, Body/Comfort, Cockpit/Entertainment, and ADAS.
This is also the most classic five domain centralized EEA, as shown in Figure 2-2. Some manufacturers further integrate the five domain centralized architecture, merging the
original power domain, chassis domain, and body domain into the vehicle
control domain, thus forming a three domain centralized EEA, namely: Vehicle Control Domain Controller (VDC), ADASAD Domain Controller (ADC), and Cockpit Domain
Controller (CDC). Both Volkswagen”s MEB platform and Huawei”s CC architecture belong to this three domain centralized EEA.
