Overview
TES family of CDM reference platforms is designed to be time-to-market accelerators for your specific product. Each platform is designed to bring technology and implementation advantage both in hardware and in software.
CDM/RP DVTM is based on TI’s new line of highly integrated TMS320DM6443 DaVinci™ processor and serves as a reference design for Telematics platforms.
The CDM/RP DVTM provides TES CDM customers with access to a wide and flexible set of telematics features. The combination of the dual core DaVinci processor, GPS and wireless communications, and a flexible and configurable I/O structure provides the base for low-cost to high-end telematics products. The FPGA (Altera Cyclone II) on CDM/RP DVTM, which is connected to the DaVinci by the high speed VLYNQ interface, allows developers to integrate IP blocks available from TES or other suppliers. Advanced hardware features of the CDM/RP DVTM architecture combined with reference software features enable high value application solutions. The CDM/RP DVTM has 3 PCM MIP compliant I/O slots which allow rapid integration of additional functions (eg CAN bus, Video, or short-range wireless) for prototyping or proof-of-concept.
Next-Generation features such as vehicle crash detection can also be developed using the CDM/RP DVTM by adding solid state gyros and accelerometers in your custom design. Basic telematics requirements of power management, battery backup, security and robust design are included in the CDM/RP-DVTM reference design. Software support for multiple OS variants capable of thin-client operations and multimedia capability are provided as standard with the CDM/RP DVTM. Also included are TES Embedded Graphics IP for high-quality navigation or other graphics applications. Audio input channels enable applications requiring speech recognition capability.
