Arm Ecosystem FVPs

The RD-N2-Automotive FVP is derived from the RD-N2 subsystem and targets automotive markets.

In addition to the IP components delivered as part of the Infrastructure RD-N2 reference design system, the RD-N2-Automotive system adds the following:

• Cortex-M55-based RSS
• Cortex-R82 Safety Island

Learn more about the software stack and system design on the Neoverse N2 Automotive Reference Design page.

The RD-N2-Automotive software stack manages the FVP download and launch as part of the Yocto recipe set. The FVP image can be directly downloaded:
