MOST networks require the 'most' innovatively designed junction boxes
Tremendous market acceptance of MOST technology within the automotive industry is driving OEMs and CEMs, developing and supplying multimedia and infotainment systems for cars, to explore new ways to increase manufacturing efficiency and reduce the associated production costs
Challenges in automotive radio design
In terms of in-car features, customer expectations are driving the integration of more electronic devices. In addition, new technologies and automotive operational requirements create severe design challenges for suppliers.
Building an in-car MP3 player using Altium's NanoBoard
Doug Gibbs, a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Xilinx, was the runner up in the Altium Design Competition. Doug's idea is to build an in-car stereo MP3 player with an 802.11 connection to allow networking with a user's home PC. When you drive into the garage, you're the system will automatically sync to the PC and update all of the music you've downloaded.
The Future of Audio Entertainment in the Car - Part 1
The connection between user behavior and technology sometimes allows predictions as to which technology will be the next big thing and which one will prevail over a longer period. A study of chip vendor NXP provides valuable insights in automotive infotainment trends.
Compact, shock- and error-tolerant SSDs offer auto infotainment storage options
"Industrial-strength" solid-state drives eliminate time-consuming seek processes, provide write/read performance up to 30 MBytes/sec, as well as error checking and correction circuitry.
Making the best use of Class D amps in your car audio subsystem
The design challenge for automotive engineers is to maintain " or even to improve - the high audio amplification levels and low distortion that customers have been expecting.
Make the MOST of automotive infotainment
The MOST interface has caught on with many of the automakers, for good reason.
Time partitioning drives faster software integration for telematics and infotainment: Part 2 - Simulation code development
Allocating a set portion of CPU time to each software subsystem prevents any one monopolizing CPU cycles needed by the others, for a stable runtime environment that development teams can build and verify individually.
