AVB Ethernet software stacks engineered
Freescale Semiconductor today introduced a hardware/software development system for enabling automotive-grade Ethernet connectivity for infotainment, instrument cluster, camera telematics and rear seat entertainment designs. The new solution will support real-time data transport throughout the vehicle and replace digital technologies and other alternatives. SABRE (Smart Application Blueprint for Rapid Engineering) for Auto Infotainment (AI) development system leverages Freescale’s i.MX 6 series applications processors to enable Ethernet Audio Video Bridging (AVB) deployment. The development system helps connect an array of onboard multimedia nodes using automotive-grade Ethernet components and is optimized for hardware/software integration. Freescale has also introduced automotive-grade AVB Ethernet software stacks engineered to work with the development system’s hardware.
Freescale Semiconductor today introduced the QorIQ LS1043A communications processor – a power-efficient 64-bit ARM-based processor for the new virtual network. The system-on-chip helps edge network equipment manufacturers scale power and performance to meet the changing needs of the world’s highly virtualized, software-defined networks. The fanless SoC delivers 1.5 GHz of performance and requires power as low as 6 W to operate.
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) today introduced the F2912 switch, the first in a line of new radio frequency (RF) switch products planned by the semiconductor company. The F2912 has a combination of low insertion loss, high isolation and linearity positioning it for use in base stations (2G, 3G and 4G), microwave backhaul and front haul, test equipment, CATV headend, WiMAX radios, wireless systems and general switching applications.
