Lantronix Inc. and P3 Digital Services have announced their partnership and a technology pre-integration.
Lantronix’s embedded in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) platform is now pre-integrated with SPARQ OS. The joint Lantronix-P3 platform provides automakers with various benefits. Pre-integration between software and hardware accelerates time to market and minimises technology risk. At the same time, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) can save engineering and management time. The automotive manufacturer therefore can reap economies of resources and extend this lower-cost benefit to customers.
The automotive manufacturer can bring new products to market sooner and start earning revenues through the IVI platform while the OEM’s customers can be confident in an IVI platform with SPARQ OS as its foundation.
“Our partnership with P3 uses the respective and complementary expertise of both parties,” said Jacques Issa, a vice president of marketing at Lantronix. “P3’s extensive experience in delivering reliable technology to drive its In-Vehicle Infotainment OS is the perfect match for Lantronix’s proven hardware with Qualcomm at the core.”
“Our collaborative Lantronix-P3 solution is a powerful example of a best-in-class turnkey system,” said Marius Mailat, a CTO of P3 Digital Services. “This is a very exciting pre-integrated platform, and we very much look forward to enabling vehicle manufacturers and their customers to benefit from this solution.”
Lantronix’s AIC platform
Lantronix’s pre-integrated AIC is built on the Qualcomm SA8155P processor to enable an automotive infotainment system. The Qualcomm SA8155P processor provides automakers with one of the industry’s highest-performance System-on-a-Chip (SoC) that comes equipped for high-quality user experiences of the next-generation cockpit.
The AIC deploys a bare-metal Type-1 hypervisor to enable multiple operating systems, including QNX as host OS, Android Automotive as guest OS, and AutoSAR OS that runs on the VIP, enabling ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level)-rated safety-critical applications. SPARQ OS is a dynamic, developing IVI solution developed by P3 and based on Android Automotive OS, the ‘fastest-growing’ in-vehicle operating system in the world today.
SPARQ OS’s cockpit platform includes a diverse and growing app store with currently more than 200 apps and services. SPARQ OS also features smart navigation, digital and personal voice assistant, charging, media, and a broad array of engaging entertainment. It features fully automated over-the-air software and firmware updates, ensuring always up-to-date functionality while promoting sustainability.
