The EB/NXP platform combines the EB robinos software framework with NXP’s BlueBox Automated Drive Development Platform, making it easier for automakers to develop automated driving features.

SAN JOSE, California – Elektrobit (EB) and NXP Semiconductors N.V. announced a collaboration to deliver a powerful new development platform that integrates the NXP BlueBox Automated Drive Development Platform and Elektrobit’s EB robinos software framework for highly automated driving systems. This joint solution will make it easier for automakers to develop highly automated driving functionalities.

Automakers face significant hurdles in the quest to bring self-driving applications to market efficiently. Solutions to problems — such as how to route multiple streams of automotive sensors data quickly and reliably, how to tackle complex software development in-house and how to create differentiation — are in high demand. These challenges were top-of-mind when long-time partners EB and NXP developed the combined hardware-software solution, which delivers unique benefits to carmakers.

About EB robinos

  • EB robinos is the first comprehensive, hardware-agnostic software framework that enables carmakers and automotive suppliers to develop and bring to market increasingly automated driving features and manage the complexity of advanced in-car systems. It features:
    • A functional, standardised architecture equipped with open interfaces plus software modules for a variety of different driving features and functionalities
    • A modular approach that can accelerate the development of automated driving features, integrating the highest functional safety and error management mandatory for automated driving
    • Artificial intelligence that makes advanced situation detection and path planning functionality possible

About NXP BlueBox Automated Drive Development Platform

  • NXP BlueBox
    • Is a comprehensive autonomous vehicle computer that meets the stringent safety, power and processing performance requirements of the global automotive industry.
    • Processes the multiple streams of complex sensor data in real time. EB robinos software framework routes these streams to the NXP BlueBox engine, where hardware and software fuse them to create a complete 360° world model around the vehicle.
