Guest post by Matt Watson, TI product line manager, on the new Jacinto 6 Eco processor
Whenever I hear someone mention the word “scale,” several images come to mind. The first one is the thing I avoid stepping on for fear of its shocking readout. The second is what happens to my tender, east Texas skin whenever I venture to high altitudes — which is anything higher than a Houston overpass.
Since my colleagues at QNX were nice enough to let me post on their blog, I should avoid pursuing those activities further for fear of never being invited back. [Matt, you are *always* welcome here — Ed.] Instead, I’ll focus on how TI and QNX, together, are bringing incredible performance scalability to our customers in the automotive infotainment space through the new DRA72x “Jacinto 6 Eco” processor. This processor builds on the successful foundation of the “Jacinto 6” family and offers significant value to a very wide range of in-vehicle systems. This value takes three forms:

- software reusability and hardware pin-compatibility with “Jacinto 6,” resulting in faster time to market
- the ability to leverage the same integration capabilities as “Jacinto 6” for a lower BOM
- scalability to bring elements and features of high-end infotainment down to the entry-to-mid segment in a cost-effective manner
