Altia and Infineon Continue Powerful Partnership with Code Generation Solutions for Traveo II™
Altia successfully completes Infineon’s HMI Tool Certification Program

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO – July 21, 2021 – Altia is proud to announce our success with Infineon’s HMI Tool Certification Program. Infineon established this program with the goal to provide customers with a trusted network of partners whose human-machine interface (HMI) tools support the most important hardware features of their microcontrollers, ensuring the best possible user experience and performance for their application. Altia has been a long-time partner with Infineon and Traveo—with production-proven solutions for Amber, Amethyst and Artemis—so this new certified status is further proof of the value of our combined solutions.

“Altia and Infineon are in countless production vehicles with the first generation of Traveo – and our customers can continue to design with confidence with our certified Traveo II solution,” said Jason Williamson, Altia Vice President of Marketing.

Infineon’s latest HMI Tool Certification Program is focused on creating a high-end automotive display experience for mid- and entry-level cars. They do this by challenging HMI tool partners to create a full 1920 x 720 virtual dashboard plus a warped head-up display (HUD) leveraging the complete features of the Traveo II solution, particularly GPU and memory.

As the lead developer for Altia’s certification project, Dr. René Schumann has keen insight into Altia’s solution architecture for Traveo II. He shared just a few of the highlights with Altia’s solution. “Altia’s robust tool chain and powerful code generation provide outstanding flexibility to map the various HMI requirements to the hardware features and make the most of its resources. For example, Altia leverages Traveo II’s On the Fly (OTF) rendering feature using our Layer Manager Object. This makes it possible for customers to deploy HMIs on a 1920 x 720 display, which is usually an application reserved for high-powered SoCs.” Dr. Schumann continued, “Additionally, the Altia Binary Asset Manager allows developers to create robust HMIs with reduced asset storage requirements utilizing the Traveo II’s image compression features. These finely tuned optimizations empower customers to create a high-end cluster experience using Infineon’s cost-efficient microcontroller. Altia’s toolchain is uniquely suited to deliver extremely rich graphics with limited memory. This is what we do best.”

Altia is an industry standard for automotive HMIs—instrument clusters, HUDs, in-vehicle infotainment systems and full integrated cockpit displays. Designed into over 100 million vehicles worldwide, automotive OEMs and Tier 1s rely on Altia’s HMI editor and graphics code generation software to deliver brand-defining user interfaces to production vehicles. Development teams using Altia for their production interfaces can leverage their experience with the same HMI tools for multiple projects and in-vehicle display systems. They can also use the same HMI models across multiple brands and production hardware platforms. Companies currently in production with Altia and the first generation of Traveo can easily port their designs to the latest innovations from Infineon.

“Altia and Infineon are proven production partners on several production programs around the world with the first generation of Traveo. This certification takes our partnership to the next level. Both Altia and Infineon are committed to providing our customers with the best possible user experience. We are confident that Altia’s support of Traveo II will continue to enable customers to quickly and easily implement beautiful HMI designs with top notch performance,” stated Mathias Braeuer, Senior Director of the Automotive Microcontroller Business Unit at Infineon.
