NXP Semiconductors announces an innovative platform that supports evaluation, software development, and prototyping of automotive processors, helping to accelerate the development of software-defined vehicles.

NXP announced the S32G GoldVIP, a vehicle integration platform that supports real-time application development for software-defined vehicles using the S32G vehicle network processor.

Users can check the S32G performance in detail through real-time use cases and resource monitoring provided by the platform. Secure cloud connectivity and over-the-air (OTA) updates are also provided.

Additionally, pre-integration of NXP with open source and third-party software allows developers to focus on building new connected vehicle services rather than building software infrastructure.

Users can easily build product prototypes for desktop, lab, and in-vehicle applications by combining it with the S32G Reference Design Board (RDB2) or the GoldBox Service-oriented Gateway reference design.

GoldVIP integrates NXP's S32G standard and reference software with the Xen Project Type 1 hypervisor to provide a single Linux virtual machine.

It also supports rapid prototyping in Java and Python, with local and remote cloud graphical user interfaces and secure cloud connectivity.

Additionally, GoldVIP provides local and cloud-based visualizations that monitor key metrics such as processor performance, memory usage, networking bandwidth, and chip temperature.

It also provides a variety of real-time use cases, including CAN and Ethernet gateways with and without network acceleration and intrusion detection capabilities, NXP SJA1110 Ethernet switch packet statistics monitoring, vehicle-to-cloud data telemetry, and cloud-to-vehicle OTA updates.

“The S32G GoldVIP enables rapid silicon evaluation and software development for customers and partners,” said Brian Carlson, global marketing director for vehicle control and networking solutions at NXP. “It dramatically integrates software for intelligent driving and delivers exceptional insights. GoldVIP is raising the bar for silicon software implementation by providing a scalable platform that supports the requirements of software-defined vehicles and the rapid development of new vehicle services,” he said.
