True integrated eCockpits for cars, multi-camera monitoring in industrial systems and multi-domain systems requiring both open access and safety/security are transforming the way we interact. To operate these complex systems we need multiple high definition displays, running multiple operating systems and enabled with new seamless HMI with safety systems such as application sand-boxing. The NXP i.MX 8QuadMax and i.MX 8QuadPlus product lines offer the potential to deliver all these features in one processor.
With the i.MX 8 family of processors using the Arm® Cortex® A72 and Cortex A-53 and Cortex-M4F cores, along with the Tensilica® HiFi 4 DSP use cases can be endless to showcase compute power, machine learning, object detection and AI applications. In addition, with a dedicated HSM module on-chip for security protection, NXP continues to drive solutions to meet security needs across a broad range of applications including automotive and industrial industries.
Sometimes our customers say it best. “We have been working with NXP’s silicon early-on since we understood the potential of the i.MX 8QuadMax to forge a clear path of innovation in the connected car market. We are an extremely technology-driven company and NXP’s i.MX 8QuadMax is a perfect complement to our future vision for infotainment systems.” Francesco Ortix, chief executive officer ART.
As the requirements and capabilities expand, so can the complexity of getting your product to market. To help with this, NXP delivers the SoC and puts an ecosystem of partners in place to enable a wider range of customers to help develop faster with the i.MX 8QuadMax processor.
NXP and our embedded board system partners are gearing up to enable a more streamlined development process and faster time to production of these solutions.
Today, we are announcing a select group of early-access partners that NXP has been working with to develop an active worldwide ecosystem for the i.MX 8QuadMax processor. Customers are encouraged to engage immediately to leverage the expertise of all these partners; below is a summary of how they describe their development plans:
The Advantech ROM-7720 QSeven module supports 4K hardware acceleration for
video decoding and additional GPU for image processing. This makes it ideal
