Learn about the latest developments within MIPI Automotive SerDes Solutions (MASS) – a framework that provides a full-stack, end-to-end sensor/display-to-ECU solution for autonomous driving and ADAS systems, leveraging existing MIPI CSI-2®, DSI-2℠ and VESA eDP/DP protocols running over MIPI A-PHY®. The presentation starts with a quick refresh of A-PHY's newest enhancements and then takes a look at what's to come in v2.0, currently under development. From there, the discussion highlights new and upcoming updates to the MASS framework, such as new protocol adaptation layers for Ethernet, SPI and I3C, and how current development work is setting the stage for additional functional safety features and the introduction of end-to-end security for camera and display data streams.
