Enabling the Real-Time Future of Autonomous and Software-Defined Vehicles
A 64-bit Cortex-R processor that blends the benefits of deterministic execution with advanced processor technologies to enable rich software stacks, including coherency and virtualization. Capable of providing high single-thread performance in multi-core, multi-cluster systems as the primary processor, or as a real-time safety controller with simplified integration with applications processors in heterogeneous systems.
Features and Benefits
One silicon product can deploy a diverse range of software stacks, enabling updates over the extended lifetime of a software-defined vehicle without hardware barriers.
MMU supports rich operating systems, such as Linux and Adaptive AUTOSAR, leveraging a trusted and robust ecosystem for frictionless, low-cost development that can be deployed in real-time processors.
The highest performing real-time processor for functional safety with more than 60% increased pipeline execution and greater core cluster count than previous versions.
Where Innovation and Ideas Come to Life
Software-Defined Vehicles
The automotive industry is seeing major disruption with increased automation and electrification, and a growing focus on user experience. A high-end car today has more than 100 million lines of code, and new features and business opportunities continue to be powered by software upgradability. Arm is working with the automotive industry on standards to help improve safety, enable innovation and agility, deliver advanced features, and support new business models driven by the software-defined vehicle.
Functional Safety for Cars
Functional safety has continued to grow in importance in a number of critical automotive applications and now extends into many more vehicle systems than previously. Zone controllers, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and autonomous driving increase the complexity of systems where functional safety is critical. Cortex-R82AE supports the highest level of automotive safety required to enable the control computation and advanced safety islands within these systems.
Accelerating the Journey to Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous workloads, supported by functional safety, software-defined functionality, and other innovative technologies, are predicted to become pervasive in future vehicles. Autonomous workloads promise to deliver devices and systems that can safely decide and act for themselves. This can lead to operational efficiencies as they work alongside humans or free humans to focus on other valuable tasks.
