Partners with NXP as the First Go-to-Market
Partner
HARMAN (NYSE: HAR), the premier connected technologies company
for the automotive, consumer and enterprise markets, today
announced the launch of its HARMAN Software Update Gateway product
with go-to-market partner NXP Semiconductors (NXP®) as the latest
addition to the HARMAN Software Management portfolio. NXP’s secured
gateway processors, embedded with the new HARMAN update management
technology, will enable every ECU, regardless of memory, CPU or
network resource, to benefit from secure OTA updates.
In the past, updating ECUs in the car required a recall. Today,
OTA updates are delivered only to the infotainment and telematics
systems. Now, all ECUs, such as those running advanced driver
assisted systems (ADAS), brakes and airbags, can be updated --
eliminating the need for OEMs to issue a physical recall and
greatly enhancing the consumer’s user experience with HARMAN’s
Software Update Gateway and NXPs secured gateway processors. In
addition, the software gateway can be installed on any car network
gateway using NXP’s secured gateway processors eliminating direct
contact with the Internet-connected telematics unit – a feature
that greatly enhances the security of all OTA updates.
“HARMAN’s OTA Software Management has been the leading and most
widely deployed solution in the automotive industry for a number of
years. We have taken this technology to the next level and created
a software gateway that, for the first time, brings true end-to-end
secure connectivity to the car making it possible for every ECU –
large or small – to be updated with the latest fixes, features and
functions that OEMs want to deliver to consumers,” said Oren
Betzaleli, General Manager, OTA and VP, Marketing for HARMAN
Connected Services.
NXP is the world leader in automotive semiconductors and is
leading in-vehicle networking processor innovation. The MPC574xG
secured gateway processors, are the 3rd generation device family in
this market segment and the most advanced gateway processors on the
market today, currently being designed into many premium cars.
“The ability to securely update software in the vehicle is
essential,” said Jake Alamat, General Manager, Connectivity &
Security Products for NXP Automotive Microcontrollers &
Processors Business Line. “Adding HARMAN’s software update
capability to the gateway processor adds tremendous value for OEMs,
who now can update the software on all components of the vehicle
with this solution, using minimal overhead while eliminating
vehicle downtime during Flash updates.”
