MICROSAR IO — The Lightweight Software Stack for Sensor & Actuator ECUs

MICROSAR IO addresses one of the biggest challenges in modern vehicle development: finding the right software solution for the mechatronic layer in Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs). While HPCs and zonal controllers are well understood, small sensor and actuator ECUs often lack a simple, scalable and cost-efficient software stack that integrates cleanly into the vehicle network.

MICROSAR IO closes this gap. It`s a lightweight, resource-efficient software stack designed specifically for small ECUs in the mechatronic layer. By separating application logic and I/Os, it helps OEMs shift north, accelerate software deployment and reduce engineering effort. Tier-1 suppliers benefit from a reusable, scalable platform that lowers development cost and simplifies integration across projects.
With its bus-agnostic, service-based design, MICROSAR IO reduces hardware dependencies and supports flexible SDV architectures. And thanks to its small footprint, it enables cost-efficient hardware choices — ideal for small mechatronic ECUs, such as sensors and actuators.

Learn how MICROSAR IO reduces system complexity, enables SDV-ready architectures and supports both OEMs and Tier-1s in delivering faster, leaner and more consistent software.
