Telechips announced a collaboration with Xilinx, Inc., the leader in adaptive and intelligent computing, to offer a comprehensive solution that will address the integration of IVI systems and in-cabin monitoring systems (ICMS).    As the number of electronic control units (ECUs) inside vehicles continues to consolidate to reduce the amount of hardware inside, the communication overhead, and the extensive cost of interconnecting the communication buses, the integration of ICMS with IVI and cockpit domain controller systems has become a key focus for carmakers and their Tier-1 suppliers. By collaborating, Telechips and Xilinx aim to develop a joint solution targeting the consolidation of the IVI and ICMS functionality.
