Open Infotainment Platforms Offer Flexibility and Accelerate Product Development

In-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems play an increasingly larger part of consumer vehicle purchasing decisions. Consumers expect more built-in functionality and plug-in connectivity along with superb graphics performance. To be competitive, automotive manufacturers must offer IVI systems with seamless integration between home, office, and car — including access to e-mail and Internet, music, videos, news, and navigation information. To minimize development costs and time, developers and auto manufacturers must leverage an Open Infotainment Platform (OIP), maximizing generation-to-generation reuse. OIP is a standards-based, low-power, scalable, and highly flexible platform that enables rapid development and simplified upgrades. Intel’s broad hardware and software ecosystem, including members of the Intel® Intelligent Systems Alliance, provide a single source for an extensive range of development and design options.

The Low-Power Intel® IVI Reference Design incorporates a variety of features including an Intel Atom® Processor (E660T). It also includes an IVI-based IOH that provides specific automotive functions, up to 2 GB DDR2 memory, 4 GB eMMC storage, SPI BIOS, and power control/clocking. It comes with complete schematics and layout files to simplify development and speed time-to-market. A small footprint, efficient thermal design and compact I/O interfaces fit into a standard, single DIN slot, making it ideal for IVI applications. Low-power characteristics of the Intel® Atom™ processor E660T based platform, allow a fanless thermal solution; eliminating noise and reliability concerns.
