1 / 2 page  Case Study QNX and Freescale: Driving Automotive Infotainment When a major automotive Tier 1 needed a prototype of an in-dash infotainment system to wow a potential customer, they turned to Freescale’s i.MX 6 series applications processors and QNX software to make it happen. Infotainment systems for automobiles require highly responsive human-machine interfaces (HMI) with rich graphics, together with reliability that meets stringent automotive quality standards. Technologies such as speech recognition, high-resolution color displays and 3D navigation systems that gained popularity in mobile devices are becoming pervasive in modern vehicles as consumers ask for the newest technology in their cars. GPS systems, for example, need fast processors and excellent graphics to quickly render real-time directions and traffic conditions. This requires a combination of powerful processors and sophisticated software: in this case, Freescale’s scalable, multicore i.MX 6 series processors and the QNX CAR reference infotainment platform. When a major supplier to automotive manufacturers decided to use Freescale’s i.MX 6 series applications processor along with the QNX platform for their next in-dash infotainment system, the silicon was still in development. “Both QNX and Freescale were there from the start to understand the customer’s project milestones and ensure deliverables from both companies would line up with their schedule,” said Kerry Johnson, product manager at QNX Software Systems. “It was all about making sure we knew what we were signing up for and having a clear path to get us there.” Well before first silicon for i.MX 6 processors was available, QNX and Freescale were already engaged. Together, the companies jointly developed a support plan outlining responsibilities and delivery dates for the key elements needed to enable the market. QNX also worked closely with Freescale’s graphics partner, Vivante, to provide highly optimized hardware acceleration for graphics. Andy Gryc, product marketing manager at QNX Software Systems, noted that “Freescale, QNX and Vivante banded together, rolled up our sleeves and held face-to-face workshops to solve issues and deliver a best-in-class solution to the customer. We were all there working with first silicon bring-up with the OS.” As an added challenge, QNX and Freescale had to implement multicore support on the ARM® architecture, something the two companies had never faced together. “QNX has been a symmetric multiprocessing operating system for over a decade. We started down this path with Freescale back when it was just multiprocessing and not multicore,” said Romain Saha, strategic alliances manager at QNX Software Systems. “Along the way, QNX developed |
