Nye controller håndterer 3D i bilen

Toshiba Electronics er klar med ARM Cortex-A9 controller til 3D displays i automotive applikationer (in english).

Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) has launched a dual ARM core display controller for automotive applications requiring high-end 3D graphics with typical resolutions of WVGA and beyond. As well as reducing the complexity and component count of next-generation hybrid instrument clusters, Capricorn-H features a special algorithm that will allow designers to deliver 24-bit performance from lower cost 18-bit displays.
 
Suitable for typical display sizes up to 12.3”, the new Capricorn-H is a compact and highly integrated IC that incorporates all of the functions, peripherals and connectivity needed for high-quality 2D and 3D graphics output and TFT panel control.
 
Capricorn-H combines two ARM Cortex-A9 cores with a dual output, five-plane graphics display controller (GDC), built-in 3D and 2D graphics engines, and 2MByte of embedded SRAM to support high-performance graphics operations. In addition to the display outputs connectivity includes a 3-channel, Ful

l CAN transceiver, a MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) Media-LB interface to support automotive multimedia applications, and I2C, I2S and USB interfaces.
 
The integrated 3D high-end graphics engine supports dual programmable shader pipeline architecture. Graphical implementations of dials, rapidly rotating pointers and other animations is further simplified and enhanced by the 2D graphics engine that offers high-performance rotation, transformation and scaling functions.
 
Toshiba’s Capricorn-H is the first device in the company’s Capricorn family to feature a ‘Magic-Square' IP algorithm. The Magic-Square IP module incorporates a high-performance dithering unit that makes it possible to realise perfect dithering of 24-bit graphics on an 18-bit display. As a result designers can choose lower cost, 18-bit displays for their applications without sacrificing graphics quality.
 
The product is supplied in a BGA516 package and engineering samples are available now.
 
Capricorn-H is the latest ARM Cortex-A9 multi-core device to be supported by the QNX Neutrino 6.5.0 Realtime Operating System (RTOS). The QNX Neutrino RTOS is a full-featured and robust platform that combines a microkernel design and a modular architecture to meet the constrained resource requirements of realtime embedded systems.

QNX Software Systems also offers the QNX Neutrino RTOS Safe Kernel 1.0 which has passed through the stringent requirements of IEC 61508 at Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3), an international functional safety standard closely related to ISO 26262. Developers can implement the QNX Neutrino RTOS Safe Kernel in safety critical systems where additional certification is required.
