A/B slots or snapshots? Two ways to make an OTA update survive failure

22.09.2026

Both A/B partitioning and snapshot-based updating can roll back a failed OTA update. They reserve very different amounts of flash to do it, and the gap grows with the image.

Industrial embedded storage validation: tests that reduce downtime risk

20.08.2026

By Eva Rio

Industrial embedded storage validation should prove more than basic functionality. This guide explains how to test power-loss recovery, data integrity, tail latency, endurance, fault handling, and system behavior on the actual target hardware.

ECU storage reliability testing: how to validate recovery, aging and update behavior

17.07.2026

By Bernd Niedermeier

A fresh ECU can pass read, write, and reboot tests and still fail in the field. This guide covers what ECU storage reliability testing should include (power-loss recovery, aging, performance consistency, and update behavior), how to set measurable pass/fail criteria, and what evidence to ask for before production.

Zonal architecture storage requirements: what to validate before you trust your SDV

13.07.2026

By Bernd Niedermeier

In software-defined vehicles, zonal architecture storage requirements are requirements for predictable behavior under stress rather than peak speed. What changes when storage becomes a shared resource, the requirements that matter most, and the validation evidence to ask for before you trust storage in an SDV.

Over-the-air (OTA) update failures in vehicles: storage risks that can cause bricking

26.06.2026

By Bernd Niedermeier

OTA updates rewrite critical vehicle state under real-world stress. Learn the storage failure modes that brick units, and a power-cut validation plan to catch them early.

How data reliability will shape the future of software-defined vehicles

20.04.2026

By Bernd Niedermeier

Data corruption in software-defined vehicles does not always cause a crash. Why data reliability is now a strategic concern for SDV platform architects.

Physical AI infrastructure: what industrialization changes beneath the model

01.04.2026

By Steffan Schumacher

Physical AI is industrializing. As AI moves into vehicles, robotics, and industrial systems, models can stay probabilistic, but the physical AI infrastructure beneath them cannot.

Embedded World 2026: Five embedded systems trends from the show floor

16.03.2026

By Tuxera

Embedded systems are rapidly becoming mission-critical infrastructure. At Embedded World 2026, five themes dominated: the rise of safety-critical deployments, the emergence of physical AI, infrastructure reliability as a strategic priority, OTA updates at cloud scale, and tightening security requirements across the stack.

System update strategies – how to update an embedded system safely and efficiently

14.01.2025

By Sami Kassimäki

Updating an embedded system reliably can be challenging. Often the devices are in the field in places where troubleshooting is painful if something goes wrong. Methods for failed update recovery are therefore often built into these systems. One of the most common strategies is what’s known as A/B partitioning, where the system is overprovisioned and […]
