The transformation of the automotive industry and the emergence Enables the Flexible Deployment of Software Stacks Cortex-R82AE lets you run both deterministic real-time software stacks and rich software stacks, all from a single processor without loss of real time. Provides Scalability Across Automotive Computing Systems and Applications Cortex-R82AE can be integrated across advanced heterogeneous automotive system-on-chip (SoC) for applications such as ADAS, digital cockpit, and all zonal controllers. of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) are driving ever-increasing compute complexity and demands on silicon processing performance. As a result, the vehicle architecture is changing with more centralization and increased use of high-performance processors. Alongside supporting an elevated class of performance, automotive computing systems must also meet the highest levels of safety. Increasingly, functionality is being added to high-performance controllers located in zones around the vehicle, integrating a diverse range of functions for both signalbased and serviced-based operations. Any safety-related vehicle operation must be checked and the computing systems must respond in a known, strongly bounded time. This is typically achieved using real-time safety islands, which have been critical to safety operations and are increasing across many systems. The new Arm Cortex-R82AE is ideally suited to meet

Enables the Flexible Deployment of Software Stacks The requirements of every zonal controller are different, with each demanding a diverse mix of processor performance and software. This may be the result of a zonal controller’s position in the vehicle, or its development over time as over-the-air (OTA) updates add new capabilities throughout the lifetime of vehicles. A single hardware design using Cortex-R82AE can be deployed to address these diverse needs, without requiring fixed partitioning between the type of processing used. This helps to future-proof automotive computing solutions and...

Cortex-R82AE can be configured and optimized across a variety of automotive computing systems. The 64-bit instruction set of the processor means that the system can address up to 256 TB. This simplifies the integration of the processor into large heterogenous computing systems, particularly when mixed with application processors in autonomous and central vehicle servers. Meanwhile, the increasing need for zonal controllers makes CortexR82AE an ideal solution. Zonal controllers must be able to support a mix of different functions combined, ranging from conventional signal-based control, which...

Advanced Functional Safety and Security Features Cortex-R82AE introduces further functional safety features to meet the stringent safety goals required for many automotive computing systems. The processor builds on top of previous Cortex-R cores with features such as split/lock that enable the construction of the system-on-chip (SoC) with additional flexibility. For example, a single silicon design can be configured to either operate with pairs of Cortex-R cores that check each other’s functionality in dual-core lockstep (DCLS) mode, or by configuration in the field, where they can be split to...

From a security perspective, Cortex-R82AE is built on the Armv8-R64 architecture that introduces new security features. This includes Pointer Authentication that helps to guard against software attempting to exploit return-orientated programming attack vectors. Cortex-R82AE also introduces interface protection, deploying the standard RAS safety extension that assists with processor integration into heterogenous computing systems. © A R M L T D . 2 0 2 4 All brand names or product names are the property of their respective holders.
