The industry has long tackled software challenges
independently – often duplicating efforts and building
closed, incompatible systems.
S-CORE changes this by uniting OEMs, suppliers and
developers around a common SW-platform. The goal of S-CORE
is to reduce complexity, promote re-use, gain speed &
enable scalable innovation.
Join our global community building a common, safety-critical runtime foundation for automotive innovation.

We're excited to announce the third milestone release of Eclipse S-CORE (v0.6.0), the open-source automotive middleware platform developed within the Eclipse SDV Working Group!
The automotive industry’s first open, safety-ready software stack is almost here.
Eclipse S-CORE brings the community one step closer to a shared foundation for software-defined vehicles.

Introduction and update about recent S-CORE developments.
S-CORE began in 2024 with five initial members:
Accenture, BMW, ETAS, Mercedes-Benz, and Qorix – “the coalition of the willing”.
Since then, both active participation and global interest have grown significantly.
OEMS
Tiers
SW-Supplier
Service Provider
S-CORE solves the requirements of a future SDV with a collaborative, open, and modular approach.
Developed by and for the industry, it delivers a robust core architecture that reduces integration effort,
enhances safety, and accelerates development.
Rather than fostering competition through proprietary,
stacks, S-CORE enables collaboration through standardisation.
Open Source
Code Based
S-CORE bridges the OS–application gap and is being developed as a modular,
standards-oriented middleware. The goal: enable predictable, safe, and reusable execution
environments across diverse hardware and ECU types – without prescribing a fixed implementation.
Its architecture is designed for safety-critical contexts – especially ADAS, Body, and Chassis – and supports compliance with ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434.

Safety (ISO 26262)
Security (ISO 21434)
Besides describing the SW-platform, S-CORE provides a huge load of complementary deliverables.
A common full-stack software runtime addressing shared industry problems through joint solutions.
Accelerates development by working in open source with code-centric, iterative methods.
Decouples HW and SW with flexible layers and enables project-specific extensions of the stack.
A lean, no-frills solution using modern languages, readable specs, and safe open source processes.
S-CORE is backed by a diverse network of leading automotive companies, technology providers, and open-source contributors. These members play a vital role in driving innovation, shaping the platform’s direction, and ensuring its success across real-world applications.
