The joint solution is designed to enable predictable, real-time communication across in-vehicle networks, addressing increasing complexity as the automotive industry shifts towards centralised and software-driven systems. It is built on NXP\u2019s S32 automotive processing platform and incorporates TrustMotion\u2019s MotionWise middleware to manage scheduling and communication functions.<\/p>\n
According to the companies, the platform focuses on delivering consistent timing across computing and networking components, a key requirement for modern vehicle design. This approach is intended to reduce integration risks often encountered during later stages of development and to streamline deployment timelines.<\/p>\n
The system uses S32-based zonal controllers and supports automated processes such as network topology discovery, schedule generation and deployment through a continuous integration workflow. By combining deterministic scheduling and communication capabilities with scalable hardware and software, the platform aims to provide vehicle manufacturers with an integrated framework rather than requiring them to assemble and validate multiple components independently.<\/p>\n
The collaboration comes as automotive manufacturers move away from traditional, domain-based electronic control unit (ECU) architectures towards zonal and cross-domain electrical and electronic systems. This transition introduces challenges in maintaining reliable and predictable communication across distributed systems, which can affect performance and increase development complexity.<\/p>\n
The new platform is designed to address these issues by ensuring stable end-to-end latency and minimal timing variation across in-vehicle networks. It also supports a range of latency-sensitive applications, including audio over Ethernet, high-performance computing integration, real-time control functions and energy management systems. The companies said the system enables a unified architecture that can be scaled across different vehicle models and programmes.<\/p>\n
Sebastien Clamagirand, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Automotive Systems and Platforms at NXP, highlighted the importance of deterministic performance in emerging vehicle designs. \u201cSoftware defined vehicles require a fundamentally different approach to vehicle architecture – one that delivers deterministic timing across both compute and network at scale,\u201d he said. \u201cBy combining our S32 platform with MotionWise, we are helping OEMs overcome the limitations of legacy architectures, reduce integration risk, and accelerate development of scalable zonal systems.\u201d<\/p>\n
Terrisa Chung, Vice President and General Manager of the Automotive Business Group at Quanta, said the collaboration is intended to provide manufacturers with a deployable foundation for future vehicle platforms. \u201cQuanta\u2019s Adaptive Zonal System is designed to deliver deterministic performance and system level scalability for next generation vehicle platforms,\u201d she said. \u201cWorking with NXP, we\u2019re providing a ready to deploy foundation that helps our customers move faster while meeting strict timing, safety, and reliability requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n
The platform integrates NXP\u2019s broader automotive portfolio, including processing, networking and power management technologies. Key elements include time-sensitive networking enabled switches, CAN and LIN connectivity, and scalable power management solutions, alongside MotionWise scheduling and communication tools.<\/p>\n
By combining these components into a unified hardware and software architecture, the solution is intended to support automated configuration, continuous deployment and ongoing optimisation based on runtime data. This is expected to help automotive manufacturers shorten development cycles and deploy consistent architectures across multiple vehicle platforms.<\/p>\n
As part of their ongoing work, NXP and Quanta are also exploring alignment with NXP\u2019s CoreRide zonal reference system, which is aimed at supporting broader SDV integration. Demonstrations of the new networking platform are currently being carried out on Quanta development systems, with additional showcases planned through 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The joint solution is designed to enable predictable, real-time communication across in-vehicle networks, addressing increasing complexity as the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[106,11056,10610,166,1455,3419],"class_list":["post-13072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nxp","tag-automotive","tag-autonomous-technology","tag-electronics","tag-nxp","tag-semiconductors","tag-software-defined-vehicles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13072"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13072\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
