人機介面 (HMI)

HMI systems are evolving from simple panels to intelligent systems, using edge processing for advanced functions. The challenges include balancing power with performance, creating efficient designs with ultra-low-power modes, and including smart connectivity and versatile display support.

Our scalable AM6x processors support these challenges, offering efficient edge processing and reducing power consumption to support battery- and power-efficient applications. The AM6x family paves the way for revolutions in HMI products such as voice-activated monitors and gesture-controlled panels.

Next-generation HMI systems require advanced security features such as secure boot and software updates, network and external memory protection, debugging security, and device ID and key handling.

Our microprocessors integrate a rich set of hardware security features for advanced speeds and higher security levels compared to software with cryptographic acceleration, trusted execution environments or on-the-fly encryption.

Real-time communication interfaces such as Profinet and EtherCAT enable precise, time-sensitive communication between programmable logic controllers and input/output modules. By combining real-time Arm® cores and programmable real-time logic into one package, our multicore processors offer the right combination of high performance and general-purpose processing. The programmable real-time unit industrial communication subsystem (PRU-ICSS) supports most industrial communication protocols as well as Time-Sensitive Network (TSN), along with the ability to handle gigabit speeds.

Augmented reality demands for real-time processing of one or more incoming camera streams include pre-processing and analysis; graphic overlay; post-processing; and the output to one or more high-resolution displays, with the option to encode and send the video output stream to a remote location.

Our microprocessors offer graphic, vision pre-processing, depth/motion perception, H.264/H.265 video codec and custom accelerators to offload the Arm cores and keep power requirements at a minimum.
