Rockchip, BlackBerry QNX team up to build advanced digital cockpit platform

Beijing (Gasgoo)- Rockchip, a semiconductor company, has announced the development of an advanced automotive digital cockpit platform based on its flagship automotive-grade chip, the RK3588M, in collaboration with BlackBerry QNX.

The platform integrates QNX® Hypervisor, QNX® RTOS, and other QNX technologies, aiming to support automaekrs and Tier 1 suppliers in creating innovative solutions for intelligent mobility.

The digital cockpit platform was commercialized earlier this year and has been successfully deployed by several domestic automakers.

The RK3588M features an octa-core CPU (4x A76 + 4x A55) with 100K DMIPS performance, 8K video capabilities, native support for seven displays, a 6T NPU, dual 16M ISPs, and 12-camera compatibility. It is tailored for applications in automotive instrument clusters, smart cockpits, infotainment domain control units (DCUs), and central control systems. Enabled by QNX®Hypervisor the solution enhances cybersecurity and supports mixed-criticality applications, making it ideal for both commercial and passenger vehicles.

Rockchip's BSP for the RK3588M now supports QNX® Neutrino® RTOS 7.1 and QNX Hypervisor 2.2, facilitating further embedded automotive software development.
