Elektrobits and Qt company announced a collaboration that brings an easier and cost-effective method to develop the next generation digital cockpit. They are set to provide a unique turn-key approach for car makers enabling HMI runtime on the AUTOSAR architecture.
An Insight
Elektrobits and Qt have collaborated on one of the most coveted offerings in the area of a digital cockpit. It is one of the first commercially available solutions for automotive applications based on the AUTOSAR standard. This solution enables the integration of software components into the vehicle control unit (VCU).
It provides the driver with an immersive digital experience. This collaborative offering from Elektrobit and Qt is set to take the world of the digital cockpit to another level. The QT device creation framework and the NXP i.MX 8 series application processor with Electrobits EB tresos software for AUTOSAR development offers a combined cutting-edge solution for car makers worldwide.
The solution eliminates the time, cost, and complexities of using a hypervisor. It has an edge where one can run on a single multi-core processor. This kind of streamlined approach accelerates the overall development process. The Qt Device Creation framework enables highly interactive user interfaces using declarative programming techniques.
Moreover, additional functional software from third parties such as continental automotive can also be integrated. The collaboration would bring the fastest and easiest way to produce software-defined vehicles.
