Virtual machine software is a virtualized operating system (OS) that allows multiple guest operating systems to run completely independently on a single chip. Renesas Electronics announced the launch of R-Car virtual machine software in April 2017 and introduced a new R-Car Virtualization Support Package helps software developers accelerate the development of R-Car virtual machine software.
As more and more R-Car virtual machine software goes on the market, OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers will have more choices of virtual machine software and will be able to use the combination of guest operating systems, instrumentation systems and cloud services that need to be run. Choose the best virtual machine software. This will increase the flexibility of integrated cockpit and connected car application development and speed development.
When designing third-generation R-Car SoCs, the use of virtual machine software has been taken into consideration. Arm CPU cores, graphics cores, video/audio IP, and other features all support virtualization. In the past, software developers wanted to use these. Functionality, you must thoroughly understand the R-Car hardware manual and R-Car virtualization capabilities, and must first study how to implement virtual machine software. Now, as long as follow the R-Car virtualization support package development guide, software developers can not only easily Using these virtualization features, you can also make full use of other advanced features of R-Car. In addition, this package provides reference sample software to support rapid development.
By developing ecosystems with partners including virtual machine software developers, Renesas Electronics will further expand its virtualized software lineup of virtual machine software and guest operating system portfolios, and hopes to introduce virtualized deployments for cars. To contribute to a safe and reliable automotive society.
