AUTOMOTIVE
manufacturers to smoothly transition their programming process to support UFS and prepare for new requirements that optimise the manufacturing process and address evolving automotive industry needs.
To prepare for the impact of the automotive megatrends and the transition to UFS on your manufacturing and programming process consider these six key questions: 1. Can Your Programming System Support UFS and Large Files?
Ensure your programming technology can be easily upgraded to accommodate future production demands.
2. What is Your Programming System’s Capacity and Can You Scale it? To combat declining production throughput due to growing file sizes, a programming system with high socket capacity enables manufacturers to expand production throughput without investing in a new programming system.
3. Is your Supplier Innovative and Financially Stable?
A financially stable supplier with a strong history of innovation is essential to reduce the risk of disruption to your manufacturing process when new semiconductor technology
is introduced.
4. Can Your Supplier Support New Automotive Security Requirements?
New automotive architectures will drive new security provisioning requirements that will impact manufacturing. A programming system that can be upgraded to support security provisioning for hardware-based security by injecting security credentials into ECUs, DCUs, ZCUs, and CCUs into secure microcontrollers that support automotive cybersecurity standards and models like e-HSM (embedded Hardware Security Modules), SHE (Secure Hardware Extensions) and EVITA (E-safety
vehicle intrusion protected applications) during manufacturing is critical.
5. Does Your Supplier Collaborate on Technical Challenges?
Your programming system supplier should have strong industry partnerships and provide co-developed best practices to maximise your quality and throughput. 6. Is Support Easily Accessible? Manufacturers can’t afford delays in production due to equipment issues. Global service that is available 24/7 and remote support tools are vital to keep production running.
EGT: The Cost-Effective, High-Performance Solution for Linux GUI Development
Ensemble Graphics Toolkit (EGT) is an open-source graphics software framework that enables the creation of modern and responsive Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for embedded applications running Linux. Free of any licensing or royalty fees, EGT is a complete application-level graphics solution fully integrated into Microchip mainline Linux distribution. EGT helps developers create high-performing graphics with:
