NXP Semiconductor provides OrangeBox automobile level development platform, which combines various NXP wireless technologies, from radio broadcasting, Wi Fi - 6 and Bluetooth to ensuring automobile access through UWB and BLE and 802.11p based V2X. The development platform combines the company's leading technologies, including advanced application processor, software defined radio tuner, Wi Fi - 6 and Bluetooth. It also combines BLE, UWB and 802.11p based V2X secure car access, protected by a certified EdgeLock discrete security element. Support 4G LTE or 5G cellular and GPS connection.
This makes it easier for automobile manufacturers to continuously apply the most advanced cloud management security technology, such as the next generation firewall, to handle the data traffic in and out of vehicles. The central processor of this scheme is an i The MX 8XLite application processor runs a unified Linux based software platform to manage car wireless connectivity. It includes NXP Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to the central car gateway, making it easier for other car systems to take advantage of the benefits of integrated wireless connectivity.
The platform is a single, security enhanced modular development solution, providing a unified interface between the vehicle gateway and wired and wireless technologies. It provides a way for the next generation of cars to communicate securely with the world around them. As a modular platform, it provides OEMs and tier one suppliers with flexibility to adapt to the requirements of cellular connectivity and V2X in multiple regions, and supports on-site updates to keep up with changing technologies. This helps speed time to market, reduce complexity, and provide a complete system reference design for application deployment.
Dan Loop, vice president and general manager of Edge Processing at NXP Automotive, said, "By integrating automotive wireless technology into a centralized domain controller with high-speed connection to the automotive gateway, we are creating a single path for cars to seamlessly connect to the rest of the world." "This not only helps reduce costs and simplify development, it also solves the key challenges of data rich vehicles that need centralized, secure connectivity."
