ZBO Electronics
End-to-end infotainment solution for carmakers
P3’s fast-growing infotainment platform based on Android Automotive OS, SPARQ OS, is now fully integrated with ZBOX.9, the IVI domain controller hardware platform from ZBO Electronics.
This collaboration results in a comprehensive end-to-end solution designed to meet the market’s demand for a pre-integrated hardware and software IVI package. The new offering aims to empower OEMs worldwide to quickly launch their innovative vehicles.
At the core of the SPARQ-integrated ZBOX.9 platform is a powerful infotainment system-on-chip (SoC) with a board support package (BSP) from SemiDrive Technology. The SemiDrive SoC’s high power and automotive-centric design make this integrated solution an ideal choice for OEMs seeking a reliable and adaptable foundation for their infotainment services.
The SPARQ OS and ZBO Electronics platform runs on Android Automotive OS, the fastest-growing IVI operating system worldwide. The partners’ goal with this pre-integrated Android-based platform is to simplify the IVI introduction process for OEMs by providing a flexible technology solution. This allows automakers to deliver the right services and user experience, while also saving millions in development costs, accelerating time-to-market, and minimizing technology risks.
Customers will benefit from the latest Android Automotive OS, Android 14. The solution’s innovative modular approach enables carmakers to create customized, branded IVI systems by selecting from an expansive variety of functionality and service components.
It is by embracing Android that we’re really taking a step forward for OEMs. With Android and open-source technologies infusing our collaborative offering, we’re able to provide vehicle manufacturers an IVI platform that is highly functional, flexible and modular, as well as cost- and resource-efficient.
