Freescale Semiconductor and Tilcon Software have teamed to deliver platform solutions for the telematics industry.
The combined hardware/software solutions are designed to enhance graphic display performance, speed time to market, reduce system cost and offer a productive out-of-the-box experience for embedded system developers.
The collaboration unites the Freescale Media5200 processor platform with the Tilcon interface development suite (IDS), a multiplatform graphical user interface (GUI) technology that delivers interactive GUIs for real-time and embedded applications.
Automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and telematics developers can use Freescale and Tilcon hardware and software platforms to develop multipurpose 2D and 3D vehicle displays that include instrumentation, diagnostics, navigation, communication and multimedia functions.
Target applications for the combined solutions include high-performance automotive telematics systems and advanced instrument clusters as well as commercial and military vehicle cockpit displays, consumer products, high-end industrial control and medical monitoring systems.
"Freescale's collaboration with Tilcon will help enable powerful embedded GUI systems for advanced telematics systems while keeping design costs to a minimum," said Mike Bryars, manager of the Freescale telematics operation.
"Together, we are developing performance-optimized graphics hardware/software stacks designed to take advantage of the integrated hardware acceleration technology and high-speed rendering capabilities of our current and next-generation processors for telematics built on Power Architecture technology."
