Concerned with tackling the growing problems that the automotive industry autonomous components suppliers and the OEMs face, Infineon Technologies, together with the ecosystem partner called Ekkono Solutions, have recently announced that they will come up with an untouched solution exclusively created for the growing automotive industry. The harmonization of both sees the AI application as a driving force behind fuel efficiency and upgrading performance, outcome, and fuel consumption.
Infineon’s AURIX microcontroller family: The first of ancient processors with rightful education junctions
The Mcu family Aurix from Infineon Technologies, the hardware platform, gives the automotive segment facilitated embedded AI computing with a special concentration on security and safety. The AURIX microcontrollers belong to the family of highly capable devices one-shouldered to coordinate complicated vehicle conditions. Several main purposes of their work are to ensure proper tuning to various situations, such as driving conditions, designs, and other uses and modes of operation of the motors they control.
Our relationship with Ekkono Solution has been there (since the beginning of 2019) as one of the ecosystem partners of Infineon. The first thing that created them was a strong software development kit (SDK) that can be safely deployed on AURIX TC3x and TC4x Microcontrollers. Such SDK is created by “putting the recipe on a plate” in an easy, quick, and impactful way developers for to utilize the power and richness of AURIX microcontrollers for AI-based vehicle applications development.
Friederichs Küni, the CTO and co-founder of Ekkono, shared his delight in the deal and stated, “We see this as an indicator of a ready-to-use solution that is finalized according to the trends in the industry and the society’s needs.” This development is a huge step in the industrialization of the automotive industry, along with AI, with great accuracy and performance levels being achieved.
Driving toward a safer and smarter future
Instead of a conventional, Thomas Boehm, Senior Vice President of Microcontroller at Infineon, put the prominence of AI at the center of the debate about automotive solutions for the future. He brought to mind the features of the new AURIX microcontrollers with their capability of AI usage, which can make sense of traffic data, recognize unsafe situations, and strengthen security.
Ekkono Solutions prides itself on individualized and incremental learning at the edge that gives virtual sensors the capabilities to augment or even substitute real sensors, health indicators for condition-based maintenance, and simulations for refining drivelines for the best settings. This methodology embodies that unit by unit, they all work, and everything they are made of produces the highest possible performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
Real network for the sake of smoothness of process
With its AURIX core and accelerators, Infineon smoothened the integration process of Ekkono’s SDK, leaving the solution ready to use without any hardware adjustments. AURIX chipsets enable developers to use the advanced features of either TC3x or TC4x outright, especially in automotive domains, where the issues of security and safety are highly sensitive. That embedded artificial intelligence allows vehicles to become comprehensively context-sensitive by understanding themselves and the driver’s needs, laying the foundations for autonomous driving capabilities., which is yet to come another time.
Beyond this, the cooperation of Infineon and Ekkono can be seen as a breakthrough in the automotive business, which is deeply linked to the paradigm change of artificial intelligence innovation. By integrating the specialized know-how of the two advanced industries, generating and pursuing new prospects in vehicle performance, reliability, and fuel economy is possible.
The collaboration between Infineon Technologies and Ekkono Solutions strives to build AI solutions for the automotive industry, which is at the forefront of the technological revolution. Combining Infineon’s AURIX microcontrollers and Ekkono’s carnal AI SDK, developers will be able to unveil the ulterior motivations of AI for improving vehicle performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. The partnership between the automotive industry and the tech world ushered in a new era for intelligent automotive technology and one full of safer and smarter roads in the future.
