NXP Semiconductors on Thursday said it has broken through the
integration barriers for next-generation software-defined vehicle (SDV)
development with the introduction of a new platform.
The new
industry-first vehicle software platform, called 'S32 CoreRide',
simplifies complex vehicle architecture development and cuts costs for
automakers and tier-1 suppliers.
"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," said Henri Ardevol, EVP and
general manager, automotive embedded systems at NXP.
With NXP's
'S32 CoreRide' platform, automakers can now radically transform their
approach to SDV development by adopting a much faster, open development
path, Ardevol added.
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.
"We are looking forward to
exploring the wide possibilities of the new S32 CoreRide platform and
to significantly ease SDV development, together," said Gerd Schafer,
chief technology officer at Accenture ESR Labs.
Production
vehicles leveraging 'S32 CoreRide' capabilities are in development today
and first production vehicles are expected to ramp up in 2027, said the
company.
