Linux powers Auto Intelligent Domain Controller

Wind River is supporting NETA Auto to develop its HOZI supercomputing XPC Intelligent Control Domain Controller (XPC-S32G)

The integrated gateway domain controller can serve as the “central nervous system” within intelligent vehicles, supporting iterative vehicle upgrades and enhancing safety and control.

“The HOZI XPC-S32G will play a key role in supporting the increasing intelligence and software-defined future of NETA Auto products and open new intelligent experiences for customers.

“Software continues to create new possibilities for automotive manufacturers and consumers and drive the evolution of next-generation vehicles,” said Woody Zou, General Manager, China, Wind River. “Wind River Linux can help innovators such as NETA Auto develop high-performance open source frameworks designed to enable the rapid development and deployment of software applications that will accelerate the software-defined vehicle.”

As the centre of the main communication network within intelligent software-defined vehicles, the HOZI XPC-S32G can enable secure cross-domain data interconnectivity, strong automotive network security, and efficient vehicle control management with low latency.

It features nine core functions: central gateway, vehicle thermal management, battery energy management, power torque management, remote diagnostics and calibration, full data collection, SOA Gateway, edge computing, and over-the-air (OTA) master. The HOZI XPC-S32G will be installed in NETA Auto’s new vehicles starting with the NETA S model, releasing later this year.

The HOZI XPC-ICDC controller is built on the NETA Auto Shanhai Platform’s scalable electronic and electrical architecture. It integrates NXP Semiconductors’ S32G high-performance vehicle network processor and Cortex-A53 processor cores, with Wind River Linux. The HOZI XPC-ICDC uses a service-oriented architecture (SOA) software framework developed with HiRain Technologies’ expertise in automotive domain control technology.
