LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- CES
2019 -- Green Hills Software, the worldwide leader in
embedded safety and security, and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a
subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), announced today
their efforts to support global automakers and Tier-1 suppliers
with purpose-built, scalable solutions, designed to support a safe,
secure consolidation of Android and Linux-based infotainment
processing with critical ASIL-certified vehicle services into a
single multicore-based electronic control unit (ECU). As a part of
the relationship, Green Hills is working with Qualcomm Technologies
to feature the Green Hills INTEGRITY® real-time
operating system (RTOS), INTEGRITY Multivisor™ secure
virtualization, and integrated MULTI® ASIL D-qualified
software development environment as part of the new
Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Automotive Cockpit
Platforms. Designed with a focus on production-readiness and
consolidation of diverse safety and security requirements,
customers can quickly and confidently design, develop and deploy
these high performance, complex next-generation automotive
systems.
Green Hills Software's INTEGRITY RTOS and Multivisor
virtualization solutions are the certified software foundation that
safely and securely combine open-source Linux and Android
infotainment environments with critical vehicle functions such as
vehicle gateways, instrument clusters, telltales, advanced
driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and heads-up displays (HUD), which
in many cases, require adherence and certification to the ISO 26262
automotive safety standards.
Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms
The Snapdragon
Automotive Cockpit Platforms are the third-generation automotive
platforms from Qualcomm Technologies. Designed to support
future intelligent automotive cockpits to meet rich intuitive user
experiences and stringent automotive industry standards, the
third-generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms are
engineered with immersive graphics, multimedia, computer vision and
artificial intelligence capabilities and feature truly
heterogeneous computing capabilities, leveraging the multicore
Qualcomm® Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engine,
Qualcomm Spectra™ Image Signal Processor (ISP),
fourth generation
Qualcomm® Kryo™ Central Processing
Units (CPU), Qualcomm® Hexagon™ DSP and
sixth-generation Qualcomm® Adreno™ Visual Subsystem. The
Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms also feature the
Qualcomm® Secure Processing Unit (SPU), engineered
to help protect personal and vehicle data, and
Qualcomm® Vision Enhanced Precise Positioning
solution's camera sensors and computer vision capabilities to
enable differentiated use-cases on lane-level navigation and
crowdsourcing of drive data for building high definition map
layers.
The new Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms also provide
fully scalable architecture with differentiated experiences,
leveraging the same software architecture and framework allowing
consumers to enjoy a harmonized user experience independent of the
vehicle tier while leveraging the same software framework.
"Today's integrated cockpits mandate a scalable software
architecture to safely and securely combine Linux and Android
infotainment functions with critical vehicle functions that require
automotive-grade safety and certification. When used with a
third-generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platform, the
breakthrough INTEGRITY RTOS and Multivisor virtualization solution
allows global Tier 1s and OEMs to overcome this challenge," said
Nakul Duggal, senior vice president
of product management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "We look forward
to further strengthening our relationship with Green Hills as we
share the commitment to offer the highest levels of
safety-conscious and security-rich, performance solutions that
define the future of high-performance, scalable vehicle
cockpits."
INTEGRITY Safe and Secure Consolidation
The INTEGRITY
RTOS architecture was designed from the beginning for use in the
most life-critical, mission-critical embedded systems. Its
impenetrable separation partitions help software teams to safely
and securely partition software running at different levels of
criticality on the same multicore processor while guaranteeing the
system resources required for the proper execution of applications.
When Linux or Android environments are added, the INTEGRITY
Multivisor secure virtualization safely runs these high-level
operating systems in safe, secure partitions, assuring
freedom-from-interference while achieving near native execution
speeds, secure and flexible inter-process communications and the
option to share GPU or other critical acceleration resources on the
Snapdragon Automotive platform.
"The third-generation Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms
are based on an impressive high-performance multicore automotive
grade system-on-chip. With customers already deploying our solution
built with the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820A
platform, we are pleased to be using these highly advanced
automotive platforms with our safe and secure software solutions
for inclusion in potentially millions of vehicles starting in
2020," said Dan Mender, vice
president, business development, Green Hills Software. "The
INTEGRITY RTOS with Multivisor secure virtualization provides the
essential software foundation to protect and partition the complex,
mixed-criticality integrated cockpit software components."
INTEGRITY with Multivisor secure virtualization and Green Hills
Software's award-winning MULTI IDE
development tools for the third-generation Snapdragon Automotive
Cockpit Platforms and Snapdragon 820A Automotive platform are
currently available and can be viewed during the Consumer
Electronic Show (CES) 2019 in the Qualcomm Technologies automotive
booth, located in the Las Vegas
Convention Center (LVCC) North Hall, booth #5609, as well as in the
Green Hills Software booth, located in the LVCC North Hall, booth
#3715.
