SOFTWARE-DEFINED VEHICLES
NXP S32 CoreRide Platform simplifies development of
software-defined vehicles
Platform provides a consistent, centralized
software development environment, "
Ardevol said.
The CoreRide Platform includes the
new S32N family of super-integration
processors to handle scalable real-time
and application processing for vehicle
control - aspects like the feel and quickness
of steering and ride comfort - as
well as other vehicle functions. " We are
not focusing on the display part of infotainment
or on the vision-processing
side of ADAS because these are very
specific applications that require dedicated
hardware accelerators and runtime
environments, " Ardevol said.
Scalability - as it relates to perforNXP
collaborates with software companies and Tier 1 suppliers to provide the open CoreRide Platform.
A new industry-first open platform for
developing the software-defined vehicle
(SDV) combines processing, vehicle
networking and system power
management with integrated software.
NXP Semiconductors' new S32
CoreRide Platform was designed to run
" multiple time-critical, safety-critical,
security-critical applications in parallel, "
Henri Ardevol, executive vice president
and general manager of Automotive
Embedded Systems for NXP
Semiconductors, told SAE Media.
NXP's new foundation platform for
SDVs differs from the traditional approach
of using multiple electronic control
units (ECUs), each designed to handle
specific vehicle system control
tasks. Since each unit requires its own
integration work, the integration workload
exponentially increases with each
additional ECU on a vehicle.
Today's entry-level vehicles typically
have 25 ECUs, while a luxury vehicle

can have as many as 150. The new
CoreRide Platform can reduce the
number of ECUs required. " But much
more importantly, the CoreRide
mance, computing memory, electrical/
electronic architecture coverage, system
power management, and networking
breadth - underpins the platform.
Another inherent benefit is design flexibility,
which is key to SDVs because
every automaker has a different starting
point, its own competencies and capabilities,
and a distinct product range.
" The value chain used to be very rigid
and very vertical, and now it's a circle
around the OEM, " Ardevol said. " We are
all trying to work with each other to
facilitate the transition to SDVs. "
" No one company can do it all, " NXP's Henri Ardevol said, noting the relevance of a new
foundational platform for software-defined vehicles developed in collaboration with partners.
Ardevol and a few partner company representatives talked with media members in Detroit.
