Explore the S-CORE Project: Building the Future of Automotive Middleware
The Eclipse Safe Open Vehicle Core (S-CORE) project is a groundbreaking initiative hosted by the Eclipse Foundation to revolutionize the development of Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs). S-CORE focuses on creating a robust, safety-critical middleware to enable performance, security, and scalability in modern automotive systems.
What is S-CORE?
S-CORE develops a modular and extensible core software stack for high-performance embedded electronic control units (ECUs), ensuring interoperability and compliance with ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434 and ASPICE 4.0. It bridges hardware abstraction and platform APIs, providing flexibility and reliability.
Built on Performance. Delivered through S-CORE.
Qorix is both a core contributor and official distributor in S-CORE – the open-source middleware initiative of the Eclipse SDV Working Group.
We offer a production-grade S-CORE distribution based on our open-core middleware stack:
– Foundational components evolve within the community.
– Advanced features, safety artefacts, and integration support are delivered through our commercial offering.
New in S-CORE 0.5 – Qorix’s Core Contribution
With the release of Eclipse S-CORE 0.5, the project has reached its first functional milestone.
Qorix played a leading role by developing the Orchestrator module – one of the stack’s key components that enables deterministic, scalable, and maintainable execution of mixed-criticality applications.
This contribution lays the foundation for safe and efficient runtime behaviour and marks a decisive step toward production-ready automotive middleware.
What’s Inside the Qorix Distribution
- Based on Eclipse S-CORE v0.5
- Built on the Qorix Performance Stack
- Safety-ready (SEooC, ISO 26262 aligned)
- Deterministic runtime orchestration and time virtualization
- Adaptive AUTOSAR integration for early completeness
- DevOps-ready: config-as-code, CLI tools, build pipelines
Built for SDV environments. Delivered with engineering support.
We Build and Deliver S-CORE
“We contribute from the inside – and deliver to the outside.”
We contribute proven safety-critical middleware components to build an open-core stack – and provide a packaged distribution for OEMs and Tier-1s looking to adopt S-CORE in production.
How We Contribute to S-CORE
Qorix is a hands-on contributor to the S-CORE stack – from concept to code.
- Runtime orchestration for mixed-criticality execution
- Logging, tracing, and safe data persistency
- Integration architecture and real-world feedback
- Feature incubation and technical grooming
- We don’t just use the stack – we helped build it. That’s why OEMs trust us to deliver what others only adopt.
- We know the internals. We know what works. And we know how to make it work for you.
#1 Middleware Contributor in S-CORE (non-OEM)
Among all middleware vendors, Qorix contributes the most middleware technology to the S-CORE project.
We’ve shaped key parts of the runtime, data architecture, and integration layers – not just consuming the platform, but helping build it.
Trust the middleware provider that shaped the core.
