Helps automotive OEMs and Tier-1s to develop next-gen S32G vehicle processing

designs and address software complexity and security challenges

QuEST Global, a global product engineering services company, announced today

its partnership with NXP(R) Semiconductors to deliver software support for

NXP's S32G Vehicle Network Processors. QuEST will provide valued services to

help OEM's and Tier-1's unlock the true potential of the NXP S32G processors to

deliver a highly-secure vehicle network that combines ASIL D safety, hardware

security, high-performance real-time application processing and network

acceleration for service-oriented gateways, domain controllers, zonal

processors and safety processors. Through this collaboration with NXP, QuEST

reaffirms its commitment in helping its partners build safer, greener and

smarter future cars.  

The evolution in automotive industry has shifted the demand towards electric,

autonomous, connected and shared mobility. Vehicles are becoming more

data-driven and software-defined, and safe and secure connectivity is becoming

a key concern for the consumer. The S32G processor significantly helps in

addressing the vehicle networking requirements by securely managing data

transmission around the vehicle and protecting safety critical applications.

With its trained and dedicated resources specialized on this platform, QuEST

will support NXP S32G customers to help reduce development complexity,

accelerate time-to-market and expand business opportunities for future

data-driven and software-defined Automotive OEMs.

"The automotive industry is going through a massive transformation with

deployment of new vehicle architecture to support the future of mobility", said

Krish Kupathil, Head of Innovation, QuEST Global. He further added, "The S32G

processors address the need for higher performance compute and networking

bandwidth with enhanced security and functional safety. We will leverage our

S32G expertise to support our common automotive customers, to build the

platform required to deploy new connected services and upgradable features for

next-gen vehicles."

"As the automotive industry is evolving, vehicle manufacturers will

continuously need to deliver an enhanced, secure and hassle free data

management for their vehicles. QuEST's support and software solutions can help

our mutual OEM and Tier-1 customers realize the full potential of the S32G

processors," said Carlos Prada, Director of Automotive Processing Partnerships

at NXP.

NXP's S32G automotive network processors enable modern service-oriented

gateways for rapid Over-the-Air (OTA) deployment of new capabilities and

advanced edge-to-cloud analytics. They deliver higher processing and networking

performance with ASIL D functional safety to support autonomous driving

applications[1]. QuEST will be offering the following services for the S32G

platform:

- Hardware System Designing and Prototyping

- Automotive System Software Engineering including Design, Development and

Maintenance.  

- Integration of Connectivity Module and Features

- Support NXP's customers in achieving Functional Safety, System Validation and

Automation

- Product Realization

As the automotive industry witnesses exponential growth, it also opens up

challenges to manage data security for vehicle manufacturers. The new age

vehicles will require a more secure and seamless information flow both within

and outside the vehicle. QuEST and NXP's association will help in addressing

these hard challenges and help Tier-1 and OEM's transform from carmakers into

vehicle data-driven service providers.
