Today, tid rax OMAP(Jacinto) series processors can not only provide the core power for realizing interactive entertainment functions in automobiles, but also provide new convenience and connection functions for drivers and passengers. Consumers have become accustomed to using personalized user interfaces similar to smartphones and tablets. Graphic-driven dashboard display, rich connectivity and rear seat entertainment solutions are now replicating this personalization in cars, and Jacinto processors pave the way for these advanced functions. To understand the real case, please read our introduction about the DRA65x (Jacinto 5) processor used in Audi "MIB High" system. This processor was first applied to Audi A3 version on 20 12.
Jacinto processor can recognize and run real-time wireless broadcast, audio and voice commands, and turn the car into the ultimate command center through rich display, rear seat entertainment equipment, dashboard multimedia, radio broadcast and navigation functions. So, what does this mean for drivers and passengers?
On a business trip, but worried about the pets at home? Real-time 1080p HD video can be sent from the home monitoring system to the dashboard unit in front of residents to check the status of pets. Do you like go on road trip? You can use simple and natural voice commands to search for the nearest gas station or open the skylight, and you can also switch stations with gestures. At the same time, you can run the graphical navigation function on the front dashboard, play movies for children in the back seat, and send music to headphones worn by children in the front seat. Worried about not listening to music while driving? You can get content from the cloud provider and send it to your mobile phone through wireless connection, or you can get content, play and enjoy music through the car modem. As a policeman or medical staff, are you rushing to the scene of the accident? Through voice and gestures, you can safely operate the alarm, warning light and horn on an ambulance or police car without taking your eyes off the road.
In the field of consumer electronic products, the emerging new features and functions promote the improvement of the characteristics and performance of in-vehicle infotainment systems. But cars are generally limited by higher quality standards, which means that the development time will be longer. This requires the newly started design project to adopt the most advanced technology at present, so that the infotainment system launched three years later can meet the consumption trend at that time. This technical strategy of tapping tomorrow's potential today is the driving force for us to develop Jacinto 6!
Jacinto 6 is based on industrial ARM? CortexTM-A 15 dual-core processor is the building foundation, combined with several POWERVR of Imagination Technologies. SGX544-MPx graphics kernel (built-in OMAP5) and adding TI C66x DSP can realize software radio and advanced audio processing functions. In addition, Jacinto 6 provides a wide range of peripherals by adding a large number of on-board peripherals, such as CAN, MOST Media Local Bus (MLB), Ethernet AVB, PCI Express and dual external memory interfaces. This industry-leading SoC integrates many functional features, such as central protocol stack electronic system, graphical HMI, multi-display support, in-vehicle network, media decoding and radio broadcast reception.
On-chip memory bandwidth is one of the most remarkable features of Jacinto 6' s successful realization of high integration. What engineers appreciate is that TI not only integrates all the main functions needed to realize a rich infotainment experience, but also focuses on the transmission mode of data in the device, thus realizing more synchronization functions.
