        With the advent of the intelligent era and changes in consumer groups, consumers no longer only focus on the driving value of the car itself when purchasing it, but also have a higher demand for the intelligent attributes of the car. At present, there are two scenarios that best reflect intelligent attributes: one is intelligent driving, and the other is intelligent cockpit. In terms of existing technology, the development of intelligent cabins is more mature and is the focus of the current differentiated layout of car manufacturers. In this situation, Da Lian Da Shi Ping has launched a car intelligent cockpit core board solution based on the X9H chip of Xinchi Technology, which has excellent SoC computing power and can effectively improve the intelligence level of the car cockpit.

        The X9H processor used in this solution is a high-performance automotive grade chip designed by Xinchi Technology for the new generation of intelligent cockpit control system. It adopts a dual core heterogeneous design, including 6 high-performance Cortex-A55 CPU cores and 1 pair of dual core locking Cortex-R5 cores. This powerful configuration enables the X9H to cope with the growing demand for computing power and multimedia performance in the new generation of automotive intelligent cockpit.

        Not only that, the X9H processor also integrates CPU, GPU, 2-way PCIE3.0 x1 interface, 2-way MIPI-CSI interface and 1-way parallel CSI interface, 2-way MIPI-DSI interface, 4-way LVDS interface, 2-way USB3.0 interface, 1-way Gigabit Ethernet and 2-way CAN-FD, 3-way UART, and 4-way I2S interface internally. These rich interfaces allow customers to seamlessly connect the vehicle system at a lower cost.
