Co-developed by the Dongfeng-Nissan Technology Center, Hangsheng Electronics, and NXP, the Venucia 3.0 PLUS uses NXP’s high-performance i.MX 8QuadMax applications processor to bring a dynamic dashboard with digital clusters for multimedia, extended functionality including vehicle-to-home connectivity, anytime online navigation, and sensor-based climate control.
NXP’s hardware partitioning architecture and capability to run multiple operating systems, without a hypervisor, means that the Venuncia 3.0 PLUS subsystems – including safety-critical displays – remain functioning.
Commenting Yang Hong, President of Shenzhen Hangsheng Electronics, said, “NXP’s i.MX 8 QuadMax has attracted a lot of attention in the industry since it was announced, providing a powerful processing platform for in-vehicle infotainment systems.”
Ma Lei, General Manager of Dongfeng Venucia, said, “As one of the world's first smart cars with an eCockpit powered by the i.MX 8QuadMax applications processor, the all-new Venucia T90 represents a leap in performance. When it comes to user experience, the next-generation Venucia 3.0 PLUS system can provide real-time multimedia entertainment, taking the performance of in-vehicle devices to a new level. We are very excited to have NXP's latest technology on the all-new Venucia T90.
"The development of connected vehicles in the future will require technology that keeps pushing the boundaries. We hope to deepen our collaboration in the field of smart vehicles, to provide a more powerful and more intelligent automotive brain for consumers.”
NXP’s i.MX 8QuadMax is a high-end processor platform designed for multimedia infotainment experiences and digital clusters in connected vehicles. The platform’s ‘One Processor, Multiple Systems’ design has dramatically simplified the process of developing, testing, and deploying multiple operating systems.
The latest i.MX 8 applications processors incorporate advanced security technologies and standards, including encrypted boot, elliptical curve cryptography, secure key storage, as well as support for AES, SHE and other automotive security standards – all in a single AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified device.
The i.MX 8QuadMax integrates two Arm Cortex-A72 cores, four Cortex-A53 cores, two Cortex-M4F cores, two GC7000XS/VX GPUs and includes a HiFi 4 DSP, LPDDR4 memory support as well as dual Gigabit Ethernet with Audio Video Bridging (AVB) capability. Its GPUs, four Arm cores, and IO options in the i.MX 8QuadMax offers the processing and flexibility for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and processing efficiency needed for future generations of infotainment systems.
