Abstract
A generic domain compute system that is customizable for at least one domain or zone compute in a vehicle having a gateway power and control (GAPAC). The GAPAC has a power supply, a scalable microcontroller, a power management integrated circuit, a set of standardized and scalable external connectors for external inter-connections for Ethernet and car connector, a standard and scalable internal connector for internal inter-connections for power, control and generic busses. At least a first compute extension (COMEX) has a standard and scalable connecter internally connected to the GAPAC. The COMEX has a scalable microcontroller, a power management integrated circuit and a set of standardized and scalable connectors for external inter-connections. The COMEX is supplied with a permanent voltage from the GAPAC power supply. The microcontrollers, external connectors and internal connectors are scaled according to the domain or zone compute application.
