In addition, there is another point that must be emphasized. In order to create a more humane smart cockpit, each car will become a partner of the driver and passengers after a period of use. However, the information contained in it will also be targeted by criminals, and even use the smart cockpit to penetrate into and then control the car. , then safety protection becomes particularly important.

The i.MX 8X series processors provide excellent security performance and support encryption standards such as AES, flashless SHE, elliptic curve encryption and key storage, bringing multi-layer protection to vehicles and personal information.

To sum up, the i.MX 8X series processors can bring redundant computing power support to the smart cockpit, have outstanding performance in graphics, audio and video, and image processing, and can be efficiently docked and processed through rich peripheral interfaces Networking signals, sensing signals, NFC signals and display signals, etc. In addition, the leading security performance of i.MX 8X series processors brings comprehensive protection to products and solutions.

Sensing is the window for communication between the smart cockpit and the driver and passengers, and receiving, processing and interacting with sensor information is the strength of the i.MX 8X series processors. How strong is it? You can experience it through the i.MX 8Qua dXP lus multi-sensor support kit (MEK) sold by Mouser Electronics . The supplier number is MC IMX8 QXP- CPU .

This multi-sensor support kit is used for evaluation and development of i.MX 8QuadXPlus, i.MX 8DualXPlus and i.MX 8DualX applications processors, as well as the NXP PF8100 Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) solution and sensors.

Through this kit, engineer friends can learn about the above-mentioned i.MX 8X series processors from multiple dimensions. Evaluate audio, video and HMI performance via LVDS and MI PI - DSI connectors and a 3.5mm headphone audio jack. In fact, this is an out-of-the-box solution that can be used directly to develop graphics, video, image processing, audio and voice functions through an LVDS to HDMI adapter card, highly optimized drivers and software.

The kit also supports Linux , Android , FreeRTOS , and provides leading memory configurations for program and application development, so it has good product performance in fields such as industrial automation , robotics , buildings, and health care in addition to smart cockpit applications. , can be used as a universal HMI (human machine interface) solution.

Unleashing market potential worth hundreds of billions of dollars

As consumers’ pursuit of driving experience becomes higher and higher, it is foreseeable that smart cockpits will realize the market potential of hundreds of billions of dollars. Therefore, human-computer interaction will become the core content of the further development of smart cars in the future, bringing a better experience to drivers and passengers in all aspects of the car dashboard, central control, head-up display, V2V, and V2D.

There will also be nine obvious trends in human-computer interaction in smart cars, including from delivery vehicles to transportation systems, connection and separation, shared services, ubiquitous displays, takeover and handover, physical media interaction, personalization, and multi-channel integration Interaction and intelligent emotional interaction. Achieving these requires a combination of software and hardware. At Mouser Electronics, whether it is devices or supporting tools, you can always find the one that suits you for smart car human-computer interaction, thereby creating highly competitive application solutions in the market.
