NXP Unlocks the Full Potential of Vehicle Data with the S32G Automotive Network Processors
January 06 2020 - 2:36AM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI), the world’s largest
supplier of automotive semiconductors, has announced its new S32G
vehicle network processors. These processors mark a significant
turning point in the way vehicle architectures are designed and
implemented. As the latest offering from NXP’s S32 family of
processors, the S32G processors enable the automotive industry
shift to high performance domain-based vehicle architectures and
provide reduced software complexity and enhanced security and
safety. Adopted by top global OEMs, the S32G processors’ primary
role will be in service-oriented gateways that will help transform
OEMs from carmakers into vehicle data-driven service providers with
expanded business opportunities.
Forthcoming generations of connected vehicles will require a
dramatic shift in performance and security to deliver data-driven
opportunities. The S32G processors take automotive networking to a
new level by securely managing data transmission around the vehicle
and protecting safety critical applications from malicious intent.
These processors are the world’s first integration of traditional
MCUs with high-performance application processors with ASIL D
functional safety support, and network acceleration, providing a
significantly greater level of functionality than previously
offered in a single device.
The evolution to connected, autonomous, electrified vehicles
will allow a host of data-based services to emerge. Usage-based
insurance, vehicle health monitoring and fleet management services
for commercial operators are a few of the opportunities under
exploration by OEMs, enabled by NXP’s robust, secure processing
capabilities.
The S32G is not, however, solely a network processor. Its unique
combination of capabilities enables it to support the latest ADAS
applications, as well as providing safe and secure communication
capabilities that significantly contribute to the total integration
of the vehicle’s network. Bernhard Augustin, Director ECU
Development Autonomous Driving at Audi said, “We found the unique
combination of networking, performance and safety features of the
S32G processor to be ideal for use in our next-generation ADAS
domain controller.”
About the NXP S32 Family of Processors
The NXP S32 architecture addresses the challenges of future car
development with a host of architectural innovations designed to
allow carmakers to bring rich in-vehicle experiences and automated
driving functions to market much faster than before.
The NXP S32 family of processors offer a unified architecture
with high-performance MCUs and MPUs and application-specific
acceleration and interfaces, supported by an identical software
environment across application platforms. The software development
environment allows developers to reuse costly research and
development work and therefore respond quicker to changing vehicle
architectures and intense time-to-market demands. The platform is
developed to deliver automotive quality, reliability, and ASIL D
performance across multiple application spaces throughout
vehicles.
S32G Processors’ Key Attributes
- Performance – S32G processors provide ASIL D
MCU and MPU performance with application-specific network hardware
acceleration that offloads processors to provide valued services
with deterministic network performance needed by OEMs for the
complex real time environment of the modern vehicle.
- Security – The S32G, like all other S32
platform processors, embed high-performance hardware security
acceleration, along with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) support
for trusted key management, enabled by its Hardware Security Engine
(HSE). The firewalled HSE is the root of trust supporting
secure boot, providing system security services, and protecting
against side-channel attacks.
- Safety – The NXP S32G processors offer full
ASIL D capabilities including lock-step Arm® Cortex®-M7
microcontroller cores, and an industry-first ability to lock-step
clusters of Arm Cortex-A53 applications cores, allowing automotive
safety to support new levels of performance with high-level
operating systems and larger memory support.
S32G System Solution NXP has announced its
multi-gigabit safe and secure automotive Ethernet switch,
the SJA1110 which is optimized for integration with S32G
processors. The new Ethernet switch is aligned to the latest TSN
standards and offers integrated 100BASE-T1 PHYs, hardware-assisted
security and safety capabilities and multi-gigabit interfaces. The
combination of NXP’s S32G processor, SJA1110 switch and VR5510
power management IC addresses the biggest challenges facing vehicle
networking today including scalability, safety, security and
high-speed traffic engineering.
S32G Availability and Enablement The S32G274A
is the first of four devices in the S32G family and is sampling
today to lead customers. Enablement by NXP and a strong
partner ecosystem include comprehensive board, software, tools and
systems support to accelerate customer designs. To learn
