SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
March 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL), a leader in storage,
networking, and connectivity semiconductor solutions, today
announced that its industry-first 88Q5050 secure automotive
Ethernet switch is integrated into the NVIDIA® DRIVE™
Pegasus platform for autonomous vehicles, making it the first
commercially available solution with embedded security built into
the core. Marvell's secure switch can handle multi-gigabit
applications for OEM car manufacturers to deliver an in-car network
that supports sensor fusion, cameras, safety and diagnostics. The
Marvell® embedded security technology helps to prevent
vehicles from cyberattacks that can compromise a safe and seamless
driving experience.
The NVIDIA DRIVE Pegasus computing platform has been designed to
handle Level 5 driverless vehicles and compute over 320 trillion
operations per second. The platform combines deep learning, sensor
fusion, and surround vision to understand what's happening around
the vehicle in real-time. The Marvell 88Q5050 layer 2 managed
secure IP switch enables the fast and safe transmission of this
data for next generation connected vehicles.
Automotive Ethernet has been purpose-built to address the
increasing risk of cybercrime and is more secure than previous
connectivity protocols used in cars, such as controller area
network (CAN). The industry-leading Marvell 88Q5050 solution
employs a deep packet inspection (DPI) engine and trusted boot
functionality to ensure a robust level of security. The switch also
supports both blacklisting and whitelisting addresses on all its
Ethernet ports to further enhance its security especially against
denial of service attacks.
The Marvell Ethernet switch solution is AEC-Q100 qualified and
can meet the rigorous standards of the industry and withstand harsh
automotive environments. It supports multiple integrated 100BASE-T1
PHYs as well as 1000BASE-T1 interfaces, and can connect with
Marvell's previously announced 88Q2112 1000BASE-T1 PHY.
"The 88Q5050 is Marvell's latest addition to the automotive
portfolio of wired and wireless network solutions and is designed
to prevent malicious attacks or compromises to data streamed in and
out of the vehicle. Marvell has over 20 years of Ethernet IP
experience and this partnership with NVIDIA demonstrates our
continued commitment to innovating and leading in automotive
technology. Marvell is excited about the future of automotive and
will utilize its extensive portfolio to accelerate the adoption of
automotive Ethernet," said Thomas
Lagatta, executive vice president of Sales and Marketing at
Marvell.
"NVIDIA DRIVE enables automakers, tier 1 suppliers, and startups
to accelerate production of automated and autonomous vehicles,"
said Gary Hicok, senior vice
president of Hardware Development, NVIDIA. "Marvell's new Ethernet
switch adds a robust security capability that can handle
multi-gigabits of data and help combat the risk of cybercrime."
"As connected cars become more autonomous, they are generating a
massively increased amount of data and are also becoming ever-more
vulnerable to new types of cyberattacks. Marvell has a rich history
in Ethernet technology and a renewed and enhanced focus on bringing
to market innovative technologies that will shape the future of the
automotive industry. The Marvell 88Q5050 automotive gigabit
Ethernet solution is paving the way for secure and reliable
high-bandwidth data transmission in vehicles," said Ian Riches at Strategy Analytics.
