More integrated H/W flexibility

• Better Cost of Ownership (TCO) / No need of external ASIC
• Performances (e.g. Real-time, timing predictability & resolution)
• Simplify the adoption / upgradable to new technologies for fuel economy, emission reduction
• Lower Multi-core software design complexity
• Enhancing functional safety designs

Open – Standard – Simple

• ARM CPU versus proprietary CPU
• FPGA based engine control versus proprietary timer module
• Full Generic EDA based tool-chain (Matlab, Mentor, ARM) versus non integrated proprietary environment
