Automotive.
Where the company came from.

Automotive is not a segment Crossware moved into — it is the domain all three cofounders came out of. That experience now spans passenger car infotainment and clusters, two-wheeler clusters from basic TFT to phone projection, and cluster development for off-highway and commercial vehicles.

Background

The domain the founders came from.

All three Crossware cofounders arrived from long automotive careers, at companies including Bosch, Harman and Nuance. Their work sat squarely in automotive infotainment — speech recognition, 3D map rendering and HMI — the three disciplines that defined the in-car experience of that generation of vehicles.

Senior members of the engineering team bring their own automotive history, including work with Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India and other leading Tier 1 suppliers. It means the people specifying a programme have sat on the other side of it.

Coverage

What the automotive work covers today.

One engineering team across the vehicle classes that share a problem — a display, a constrained budget and a homologation date.

01

Passenger car infotainment

Infotainment systems for passenger vehicles — the domain the founding team built its careers in, and the reason the company exists.

02

Passenger car clusters

Instrument cluster development for passenger cars, where the rendering budget and the safety-critical content share one display.

03

Two-wheeler clusters — basic TFT

Entry and mid-segment two-wheeler clusters on constrained TFT hardware, where every kilobyte of flash and every frame is accounted for.

04

Two-wheeler clusters — advanced TFT

Premium and performance two-wheeler clusters with richer graphics, animation and ride telemetry on higher-capability TFT platforms.

05

Two-wheeler phone projection

Two-wheeler clusters carrying Android Auto and CarPlay-style features — bringing phone projection behaviour to a class of vehicle that was never designed around it.

06

Off-highway & commercial vehicles

Cluster development for off-highway machines and commercial vehicles — longer service lives, harsher operating conditions, different regulatory ground.

Silicon & stack

From bare metal to Android, on the silicon the industry actually ships.

Crossware works across a wide range of automotive chipsets — the MCUs that dominate cluster work through to the MPUs that carry infotainment. On top of that silicon the team scales the whole way, from bare-metal development to full Linux and Android based systems.

MCU class — clusters

Automotive microcontrollers where graphics runs close to the metal and the constraint is flash, bandwidth and frame budget.

Bare metalRTOS Hardware layer compositionQt for MCUs

MPU class — infotainment

Application processors where the problem shifts to the platform — board support, middleware, media and the full application stack.

Why the spread matters A programme does not change hands when it changes class of hardware. The same team that ports a graphics stack onto a constrained MCU also delivers on Linux and Android, and it is that breadth that lets Crossware move through a project efficiently rather than rebuilding context at every handover.

Programme delivery

Through the whole cycle, including homologation.

Automotive development cycles have their own rhythm, their own gates and their own paperwork. Crossware knows them, and supports customers across all of them rather than handing back a build and stepping away at integration.

01Concept & architecture

Platform selection, graphics strategy and the early decisions that set the budget for everything after.

02Development

Bring-up, application and HMI development, and the optimisation work that keeps a build inside its constraints.

03Integration & validation

Testing on target, performance measurement and release validation against programme requirements.

04Homologation

Support through type approval and the compliance steps that stand between a working cluster and a shipping vehicle.

Passenger car, two-wheeler, off-highway or commercial — if it has a display and a homologation date, Crossware has shipped something like it.
