NXP brings multimedia to mass-market two-wheelers
Summary
Connected digital displays with rich graphics are essential to the safe operation of these EVs, providing critical information that allows drivers to compare navigation details to battery levels and health, as well as the location of charging points. This includes three-way Bluetooth pairing between the phone, scooter’s digital cluster, and headphones; rider and pillion music sharing; or even location capabilities such as ‘find my bike’ in a parking lot. More details: “Whether it’s their daily commute or a leisure trip, drivers look for a cluster that delivers the connectivity features that make their ride more enjoyable and safer,” said Sivakumar Yeddanapudi, Global Senior Director, Cockpit Domain Controller Product Line at Visteon Corporation. The dual-core i.MX RT1170 crossover MCU provides a wide range of interfaces for connecting peripherals, such as WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, audio, displays, and camera sensors, plus a vector graphics accelerator. The i.MX RT1170 crossover MCU’s rich graphics capabilities are supported by NXP’s broad ecosystem of partners, including Altia, The QT Company, Embedded Wizard by TARA Solutions, and Crank.
