"Working together, Freescale and Fujitsu are reducing the time it takes customers like Hyundai Autonet to develop feature-rich, high-end navigation and driver information systems," said Bill Pfaff, vice president and general manager of Freescale's Digital Audio, Radio and Telematics business.
"This collaboration will help foster continued innovation in tracking on-the-road location." The high-performing combination of the Coral PCI graphics engine and the MPC5200 processor has yielded design-ins in automotive and industrial applications.
"This agreement between Freescale and Fujitsu is a major breakthrough in this market," said Dirk Weinsziehr, senior director of marketing at Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe .
"In bringing together these leaders in technology development, we're helping our customers create price-performance competitive systems with strong, truly differentiating features." mobileGT Alliance expands to help meet designers' needs The addition of Fujitsu and Tilcon has further expanded the roster of the mobileGT Alliance, a group of key navigation- and infotainment-focused vendors working to enable the latest customized DIS technologies.
Their product contributions will allow Hyundai Autonet and others to leverage a pre-integrated graphics solution, which helps speed development time and minimize development risk.
The mobileGT Alliance also includes a broad base of operating system and support vendors, allowing developers to start with a proven solution and then deploy their own end-products on a variety of operating systems.
The alliance supports both the Linux operating system (OS) and QNX OS technology, which are the operating systems most in demand today.
