i.MX Applications Processor for the Automotive Market
i.MX53 Applications Processor
Automotive portfolio: i.MX534 and i.MX536
Overview
The i.MX53 family of automotive applications
processors represents Freescale’s next
generation of advanced multimedia and
power-efficient implementation of the ARM^®
Cortex™-A8 core for the automotive market.
With core processing speeds up to 800 MHz as
well as a high level of integration, the i.MX536
and i.MX534 enable customers to re-create
today’s consumer user experiences in the car.
The first product in this family, the i.MX534,
combines the high-performance ARM CPU
with an OpenGL^® ES 2.0-compatible graphics
engine, plus an independent OpenVG™ 1.1
graphics engine, allowing the ultimate in
flexibility for applications such as graphical
instrument clusters which require simultaneous
rendering for both 3-D and 2-D images for
driver information. The i.MX536 adds a multi-
format video engine capable of decoding
industry standard video formats up to full 1080p
resolution and video encoding up to 720p
resolution. Both products have dual display
interfaces to enable multiple in-vehicle displays.
Software Flexibility
Development on the i.MX534 and i.MX536 is
easier and more flexible with board support
packages available for the following operating
systems:
• Windows^® Embedded Compact 7
• Linux^®
• QNX
• Android™
Infotainment, Telematics,
Instrument Cluster and HMI
The i.MX534 and i.MX536 applications
processors balance the performance, power
consumption, connectivity and multimedia
capabilities necessary to drive the latest
automotive multimedia applications. These
processors are ideal for products that require
advanced user interfaces, high-performance
speech recognition, sophisticated video
processing and a high level of system
integration.
Advanced Security
In response to the increasing demand for
advanced security for automotive processors,
the i.MX534 and i.MX536 processors deliver
hardware enabled security features that
support secure e-commerce, digital rights
management (DRM), information encryption,
secure boot and secure software downloads.
Customer programmable hardware protection
of key interfaces such as JTAG is also
supported.
