BlueBox 3.0 Automotive High-Performance Compute (AHPC) Development Platform

Roll over image to zoom in

The NXP BlueBox development platform provides the necessary performance and functional safety features to build both zonal architectures and high-performance computing systems. BlueBox enables the analyzation of driving environments, including risk factors, for software-defined vehicles and directs the behavior of self-driving cars.

BlueBox 3 family is the latest addition to the series, which incorporates the the Layerscape^® LX2160A embedded processor. The LX2160A is pair with the ASIL D ready S32G2 vehicle network processor for automotive service-oriented gateway, domain controller, safety co-processor and expansion options to include additional perception and acceleration solutions.

The BlueBox 3.0 requires authorization for purchase based on the intended use. Support for BB3.0 projects will be provided exclusively through the dedicated NXP Community, which also requires authorization to view. Please contact support for further assistance.
