In the Linux 6.19 changelog, I came across two notable automotive SoCs: the Renesas R-Car X5H 16-/32-core Cortex-A720AE SoC and Black Sesame Technologies’ “Wudang” C1200 8-/10-core Cortex-A78AE processor family. Though the Renesas chip lacks a product page despite being announced in 2024, I’ll focus on the Wudang C1200 family today.
These automotive-grade “cross-domain computing platforms” are designed to manage various functions such as in-cabin sensing systems (e.g., driver attention monitoring), infotainment, auto-parking systems, safety information, autonomous driving, and more.
