Ambit International (ARM) demonstrates its ambition to attack the automotive and industrial control markets. ARM officially released the ARMv8-R architecture designed for embedded system processors on the 23rd, and emphasized the performance of its real-time computing, mainly targeting automotive and industrial control applications.

ARM Marketing Director Richard York said that the ARMv8-R architecture inherits the advantages of the 32-bit ARMv7-R architecture and is compatible with the ARMv8-A architecture; the previous generation ARMv8-A architecture appealed for high performance, while the ARMv8-R architecture More emphasis on its ability to handle real-time operations. However, the ARMv8-R architecture currently only supports 32-bit registers (Register), which is temporarily unable to meet the real-time computing needs of 64-bit embedded applications.

The ARMv8-R architecture features multiple operating systems that run simultaneously on a single processor, as well as outstanding real-time computing power. It is understood that the use of ARMv8-R architecture in automotive and industrial control applications enables designers to quickly improve processor performance and quickly expand a variety of security-related solutions to meet changing market demands.

Not only that, but the ARMv8-R architecture processor can also be used in a variety of emerging automotive/industrial applications, such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), vehicle to vehicle communications, industrial automation. Applications, Human-Machine Interface, etc., will reduce the cost of these embedded emerging applications and significantly increase their performance.

In fact, the automotive market has changed a lot in recent years. York said that the winning point between the models has gradually disappeared from the mechanical system, but in its software and electronic equipment. As a result, more and more automotive equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have begun to get involved in related fields. The development of its own software services to create smarter vehicle equipment has also spawned related solutions.

The advent of the ARMv8-R architecture provides a stepping stone for many chip designers interested in entering the automotive market. It is understood that NVIDIA intends to introduce the ARMv8-R architecture into its automotive solution and is likely to be the first company to obtain the ARMv8-R architecture license.

ARM officially released the detailed specifications of the ARMv8-R architecture at the "ARM TechCon" conference on October 29.
