At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, Black Sesame Intelligence unveiled a new picture of Wudang series project implementation and ecological chain cooperation

On April 25, Black Sesame Intelligence held a press conference on the first day of the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, announcing new progress in the dual product line layout of the Wudang series and Huashan series, and demonstrating its cooperation with FAW Hongqi, Junlian Zhihe, Wind River, Tencent Cloud, and Zebra. Ecological cooperation and commercial implementation projects of ecological chain partners such as Chixing.

The C1236, the first local single chip under the Wudang series to support NOA integrated chip platform, and the C1296 mass-produced chip, the industry's first chip platform to support multi-domain integration, were exhibited for the first time. While the mass production of Huashan No. 2 A1000 high-end smart driving continues to accelerate, Black Sesame Intelligence announced that the Huashan series will welcome new members this year.

The Wudang series C1200 family, launched in April 2023, is the industry's first cross-domain computing chip platform for smart cars. As the industry's first chip platform that integrates the four domains of cockpit, smart driving, body control and gateway, the C1200 family can provide smart car Human-computer interaction, travel and parking integration, and data exchange capabilities can flexibly support various architecture combinations in the industry now and in the future. As the industry's first multi-domain integrated chip platform to receive project cooperation from car companies, the C1200 family can now provide a full set of software and hardware solutions to support customer evaluation and development.

The C1200 family mass production model chips C1236 and C1296 unveiled this time adopt automotive standards throughout the entire process from chip IP selection and architecture design to production process and packaging, with built-in self-developed core IP: high-performance ISP and high-performance NPU. Support the technical framework with camera sensing and AI computing as the core.

In terms of performance, the C1236 single chip integrates NOA domain control sensor access, algorithm acceleration, line-speed data forwarding, 4K display, etc., helping customers achieve the ultimate cost-effectiveness. Black Sesame Intelligence and FAW Hongqi jointly announced a single-chip intelligent vehicle control project cooperation based on the C1200 family.The new cooperation plan is based on C1200 and will cover smart driving, vehicle data exchange and control functions, unleashing the potential of the Wudang series C1200 family, allowing consumers to have a mainstream smart car experience in a cost-effective way.

Cabin-driving integration is the fastest growing scenario in the direction of cross-domain integration. C1296 has a built-in safety isolation MPU, which can realize typical cabin-driving parking integration at low cost. Combined with the hard acceleration of the hypervisor, it can flexibly meet the needs of complex and changing scenarios, helping car manufacturers Electronic and electrical architecture evolves smoothly. The CoreFusion cabin-driving integrated software open platform built by Black Sesame Intelligence and NESINEXT based on the C1296 chip was also unveiled at this conference. The solution supports the multi-screen human-computer interaction function of the latest Android and powerful 3D engine tools, and also supports the 7V BEV automatic driving perception algorithm based on the Black Sesame Intelligent Neural Network accelerated DynamAI NN.

Since its launch, the commercialization process of the C1200 family has been steadily advancing. At the press conference, Black Sesame Intelligence and Junlianzhihe, Tencent Cloud, Elektrobit, BlackBerry QNX, Qt Group and other ecological chain partners jointly released the CoreFusion cabin-driving integrated software open platform to describe the implementation of the C1200 family in richer intelligent driving scenarios. out of a vast space.

Echoing the Wudang series’ focus on cross-domain computing, the Huashan series focuses on autonomous driving.Black Sesame Smart announced the big news about this series at the press conference. The new A2000 family will be officially launched this year.

The existing Huashan No. 2 A1000 in the Huashan series is in full mass production. It supports the BEV fusion algorithm of L3 and below application scenarios. It is the first local product to comply with all vehicle regulations and certifications.And it is currently the only chip platform capable of producing a single chip that supports the Xingbo integrated domain controller., which is currently the most self-driving chip produced by domestic mass-produced car companies. Huashan No. 2 A1000 has obtained more than 20 model designations from many leading domestic car companies such as FAW Group, Dongfeng Group, Geely Group, and Jiangxi Automobile Group. Mass-produced models include Lynk & Co 08, Hechuang V09, Dongfeng eπ007 and the first Pure electric SUV, etc.

Core IP is the key to competing on the autonomous driving chip track. Black Sesame Intelligence released the third generation DynamAI NN for the latest generation of autonomous driving algorithms. This new generation of NPU adopts an innovative architecture and is specifically designed to meet the challenges of high-end autonomous driving algorithms. It natively supports Transformer, providing a strong guarantee for high-end intelligent driving end-to-end algorithms. In addition, the new generation NN has redesigned the access architecture to ensure that the high bandwidth required by Transformer and large models will not become a bottleneck and will not bring excessive cost pressure, improving customer development convenience and reducing customers' concerns about DDR. Input costs.

Black Sesame Intelligence is positioned at Tier 2 and always insists on empowering customers and partners through technological innovation. The continuous evolution of the Huashan series of products and the rapid commercialization of the Wudang series of cross-domain integration product series have proven that customers and partners have high expectations for Black Sesame. Recognition of smart technologies and products. In the future, Black Sesame Intelligence will continue to work with more industry chain partners to create a smart driving life in the future.
