NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI), the worldwide leader
in automotive processing, breaks through the integration barriers
for next-generation software-defined vehicle (SDV) development with
the introduction of its S32 CoreRide platform. The new
industry-first vehicle software platform greatly simplifies complex
vehicle architecture development and cuts costs for automakers and
tier-1 suppliers.
The S32 CoreRide platform brings together NXP’s
established S32 compute, networking, system power management and
ready-to-deploy software from the company’s extensive software
partner ecosystem. The company is also unveiling its first S32
CoreRide solution for central compute based on NXP’s new S32N
family of vehicle super-integration processors. It offers safe and
scalable combinations of real-time and applications processing as
well as vehicle networking.
The rise of SDVs introduces promising yet
challenging paths forward. A new software-defined approach is
imminent as upgradable features and new revenue streams are in
demand across vehicle fleets. The proliferation of hardware-defined
variants across different vehicle classes has become impractical to
maintain in the modern vehicle architecture development flow.
S32 CoreRide
platform: integration and consolidationNXP’s S32
CoreRide platform represents the next milestone in overcoming the
software and hardware integration challenges blocking fast adoption
of SDVs. Automakers have struggled to move functions from the
traditional multi-ECU to zoned or centralized processing due to
software and architectural inconsistencies. The new platform
integrates NXP’s broad hardware portfolio with software from the
world’s leading automotive experts across a comprehensive
ecosystem, including Accenture ESR Labs, ArcherMind, Blackberry
QNX, Elektrobit, ETAS, Green Hills Software, Sonatus, Synopsys,
TTTech Auto, Vector Informatik GmbH, and Wind River as well as
tier-1 suppliers like Valeo.
Leveraging the scalable S32 compute in the S32
CoreRide platform, OEMs can consolidate ECUs and develop flexible
architectures, from domain to zonal to centralized, that scale
across vehicle classes and generations. The platform provides the
ability to isolate vehicle functions, helping to ensure freedom
from interference between each application and dynamically
re-allocate resources so applications do not degrade in performance
as they evolve over time. This level of integration and flexibility
advances carmakers and tier-1 suppliers to the next point in their
development since they can now utilize the S32 CoreRide platform to
put more focus on differentiation and the creation of application
software for new business models.
“The automotive industry’s shift to
software-defined vehicles presents unprecedented levels of
disruption,” said Henri Ardevol, executive vice president and
general manager, automotive embedded systems at NXP. “In the last
decade, many industries have successfully adopted faster innovation
cycles and effectively achieved higher performance at lower cost
through tight integration of silicon and software. With NXP’s S32
CoreRide platform, automakers can now radically transform their
approach to SDV development by adopting a much faster, open
development path.”
First S32 CoreRide solutions for central
compute based on new S32N familyNXP also introduces its
first solutions in the S32 CoreRide platform: the central compute
solution based on the new S32N family of vehicle super-integration
processors, advanced vehicle networking, system power management,
and pre-integrated software from the S32 CoreRide open partner
ecosystem. The central compute solution allows automakers to safely
and easily integrate many cross-vehicle functions running in
isolation-ready execution environments enabled by the S32N family’s
automotive-grade hardware isolation capabilities.
The scalable S32N family, purpose-built for the
highest level of automotive functional safety, offers multiple
combinations of real-time and applications processing cores to meet
a wide range of automakers’ central compute needs. All S32N devices
integrate an advanced hardware security engine and multi-port TSN
Ethernet switch and CAN hub, with some also supporting Ethernet
packet acceleration, AI/ML acceleration, and cost-effective,
inter-compute PCI Express services.
The S32 CoreRide central compute solution is
optimized to meet the network bandwidth, power delivery
requirements and targets ISO 26262 ASIL D functional safety
requirements. It can unlock the benefits of SDVs by providing
vehicle data intelligence for streamlining deployment and
monetization of enhanced capabilities and new services over a
vehicle’s lifetime.
