The combination now provides automotive manufacturers with a cost-efficient platform to deliver more sophisticated graphics with advanced functionality for instrument clusters, HUDs and HVAC displays.
The Traveo family features 32-bit RISC microcontrollers with an ARM Cortex-R5 core with up to 240 MHz performance that deliver high-end graphics in single-chip MCU solutions. The microcontrollers are equipped with a 2D/3D graphic engine and integrate features for speed, memory savings, security, functional safety and high image quality.
“Our automotive customers are looking for efficient ways to differentiate their vehicles with visually appealing, intuitive graphics for their instrument clusters and head-up and HVAC displays,” said Mathias Braeuer, marketing director for the Automotive Business Unit at Cypress. “Our collaboration with Altia enables Cypress to solve this problem for our customers with a complete display solution.”
Altia’s DeepScreen code generation target for the Cypress Traveo family is optimised to take full advantage of the resources available on chip. The combined solution is able to deliver state-of-the-art graphics for projects requiring lower system cost, low power silicon.
To create an HMI for Traveo, Altia Design, a WYSIWYG user interface editor, pulls together a variety of graphic assets into a single model. Altia DeepScreen then generates production-ready C code that leverages the unique resources available on the microcontroller to deliver an improved user experience for production embedded displays.
