Kodiak Builds GreenBox 3 for NXP’s Award-Winning S32 Processors
NXP’s S32 real-time processors took the embedded award 2022 in the Hardware category at embedded world in Nuremberg, and GreenBox 3 is NXP’s platform for developing real-time vehicle applications on them.
NXP Semiconductors, a longtime Kodiak customer, received the award on June 21, 2022, according to embedded world. Kodiak builds the GreenBox 3 development platform for NXP.
NXP introduced the S32Z and S32E real-time processor families the same day. NXP described them as built for the safe integration of cross-domain vehicle functions in software-defined vehicles, with the S32E family suited to electric vehicle control and smart actuation.
GreenBox 3 is a development platform for the S32Z2 and S32E2 processors that integrates processing, peripherals, networking and connectivity interfaces in a rugged enclosure, according to NXP. Engineers use it to develop and demonstrate integrated and isolated real-time applications such as vehicle dynamics, battery and energy management, motor inverter control and power conversion, for central, domain and zonal vehicle architectures.
Michael Harlow, Kodiak’s Vice President, said NXP’s new processor family targets applications in the next generation of vehicles, and that NXP turns to Kodiak to build its more complex development tools. Kodiak also built the boards for NXP’s BlueBox development platform.
