Currently, the development for autonomous driving has progressed and the number of connections between the instrument cluster and various sensors, information, and control devices are increasing. This is leading to an increasing amount of information being displayed on the instrument cluster to realize, including information on the vicinity of the car during driving. At the same time, from the point of view of safety, the need for increased visibility is increasing, and it is necessary to render graphics smoothly. Also, due to advances in LCD display technology, the trends towards larger sizes, higher resolution, and lower costs in automotive LCD displays are progressing. As a result, 3D clusters are becoming more widely used in the instrument cluster field, mainly in high-end cars.
Renesas has released the R-Car D3 automotive system SoC to address smooth rendering of high-quality 3D graphics and reduce development steps and costs, which are challenges for the development of entry-class 3D clusters.
A user system development reference platform with the following features is also available to enable the users to carry out efficient system development.
(1) Incorporates car information system-oriented peripheral circuits, providing users with an actual device verification environment.
(2) Can be used as a software development tool for application software, etc.
(3) Allows easy implementation of custom user functions.
Support OS: Linux, QNX® Neutrino® RTOS, Integrity® etc.
