The Smart Application Blueprint for Rapid Engineering (SABRE) for auto infotainment (AI) by Freescale Semiconductor leverages the company’s i.MX 6 series applications processors to simplify Ethernet Audio Video Bridging (AVB) deployment. The development system helps connect an array of onboard multimedia nodes to support real-time data transport throughout a vehicle. SABRE AI is designed to work with Freescale’s microcontroller software solutions to further integrate automotive grade Ethernet components. It supports both 100 Mbits/s automotive Ethernet physical interfaces, as well as multi-port switches to allow customers to design for their specific applications.
