Every devices share the same hardware platform running Linux
Embedded controllers for reactive real-time applications such as Telematics device are implemented as mixed software-hardware systems. Software is used for features and flexibility, while hardware is used for performance.
It is why at Mobile Devices, Hardware and System teams work together as one team and exploit all the synergies to successfully challenge all the constraints of a Telematics: timing, size, weight, power consumption, reliability, and cost in an unique co design approach.
It enables a unique hardware/software approach:
More features
Better flexibility
Time to Market
Better price
