FACT SHEETNXP-CDC-OBOX1ORANGEBOX AUTOMOTIVECONNECTIVITY DOMAIN CONTROLLER(CDC) DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM
OrangeBox accelerates the domain-basedarchitectures of the future through its unified
wireless connectivity platform, with state-ofart security at its heart.
OrangeBox is a comprehensive development
platform providing extensive secure wirelessconnectivity to develop automotive solutions
that meet the connectivity domain or zonal
controller requirements. It incorporates thescalable i.MX 8XLite applications processor,
an S32K safety co-processor, and the wirelessconnectivity required to implement secure
car access, V2X, Wi-Fi, BLE, UWB and cellularconnectivity between the vehicle and theoutside world in a secure and safe manner.

5G• A single, security enhanced, modular system that provides
a unified interface between the vehicle, with all of its
wired and wireless technologies, and the outside world

ORANGEBOX:• Scalable processor sub-system with high performance V2X
security integration• Consolidates wireless and wired
connectivity solutions within a vehicle,
including V2X, secure car access, radio
and Wi-Fi technologies, into a single
connectivity domain controller• The flexibility to adapt to regional requirements forcellular connectivity and V2X or keeping up with changing
technologies. This accelerates time-to-market, reducescomplexity and provides a flexible development platformready for application deployment• Drives the secure digitaltransformation of vehicles by enabling
a consistent implementation of state-of-the-art security
within the centralized domain-based architecture• Ideal for development, evaluation and proof of concept
demonstrations powered by NXP hardware and software• Simplifies access to integrated connectivity technologies
through one software platform to reduce costs andstreamline development• The OrangeBox platform integrates seamlessly with NXP’s
GoldBox vehicle networking platform and the central
vehicle gateway, enabling other automotive systems toeasily leverage wireless connectivity. By complementing
GoldBox, OrangeBox serves as a focal point where
wireless data can enter and exit the car, from broadcast
radio to Wi-Fi to 5G signals, providing the interface to therest of the world.

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS• Integrates a wide range of wireless technologies from
V2X, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, broadcast radio to secure car
access with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth Low
Energy 6.0 (BLE)• 5G cellular and high precision GPS connectivity provided
via 3rd party solutions
