Elektrobit (EB) and NXP collaborate on new platform for highly automated driving
21 Junio 2017 - 1:00AM
Elektrobit (EB), a leading developer of embedded and connected
technology solutions for the automotive industry, and NXP
Semiconductors N.V. (Nasdaq:NXPI), the world’s largest supplier of
automotive semiconductor solutions, today announced a collaboration
to deliver a powerful new development platform that integrates the
NXP BlueBox Automated Drive Development Platform and Elektrobit’s
EB robinos software framework for highly automated driving systems.
This joint solution will make it easier for automakers to develop
highly automated driving functionalities.

Automakers face significant hurdles in the quest to
bring self-driving applications to market efficiently. Solutions to
problems — such as how to route multiple streams of automotive
sensors data quickly and reliably, how to tackle complex software
development in-house and how to create differentiation — are in
high demand. These challenges were top-of-mind when long-time
partners EB and NXP developed the combined hardware-software
solution, which delivers unique benefits to carmakers.
About EB robinos
• EB robinos is the first comprehensive, hardware-agnostic
software framework that enables carmakers and automotive suppliers
to develop and bring to market increasingly automated driving
features and manage the complexity of advanced in-car systems. It
features:
- A functional, standardized architecture equipped with open
interfaces plus software modules for a variety of different driving
features and functionalities
- A modular approach that can accelerate the development of
automated driving features, integrating the highest functional
safety and error management mandatory for automated driving
- Artificial intelligence that makes advanced situation detection
and path planning functionality possible
About NXP BlueBox Automated Drive
Development Platform
• NXP BlueBox
- Is a comprehensive autonomous vehicle computer that meets the
stringent safety, power and processing performance requirements of
the global automotive industry.
- Processes the multiple streams of complex sensor data in real
time. EB robinos software framework routes these streams to the NXP
BlueBox engine, where hardware and software fuse them to create a
complete 360° world model around the vehicle.

“Developing automated vehicle functions is very
challenging for many reasons. One of the most challenging tasks for
automated vehicle development is interfacing software components
with your target platform. The availability of EB robinos for NXP’s
BlueBox means that applications can be run on the hardware via the
EB robinos open interface specification. This saves time and
enables a proper buildup of functionality,” said Phil Magney,
founder and principal advisor at Vision Systems Intelligence, LLC.
“NXP’s BlueBox is a collection of processing and support logic that
can handle the real-time processing and safety requirements of
automated driving. With EB robinos, developers can now develop with
a full AV Stack (HW and SW) with built-in applications and support
packages needed to get applications developed in less time.”
“Automakers working at the forefront of autonomous
development are faced with increased complexity, greater
competition and very challenging timelines,” said Martin
Schleicher, executive vice president strategy and partnerships at
EB. “Together, NXP and EB are providing automakers with a powerful,
competitive advantage, allowing them to dramatically accelerate the
development of highly automated driving features, with a critical
emphasis on the highest levels of functional safety.”
“NXP’s safe compute engine, BlueBox, and EB robinos
software framework are a perfect match,” said Davide Santo,
Autonomous Platform Architect, NXP Automotive. “They combine two
very powerful building blocks for enabling self-driving robots on
wheels. This engagement is part of NXP’s strategy to deliver open
platform support. We are very pleased to see this solution now
being deployed, and look forward to distributing EB robinos in the
near future as part of our NXP BlueBox.”
