The Importance of Vehicle eMMC in this Era

eMMC is a very useful technology and is serving almost so many devices ranging from smartphones to vehicles. It is promoting the smooth operation of these devices by providing storage facility. Now, the data storage technologies in vehicles are upgraded from traditional HDD to eMMC just to meet the increasing demand for memory capacity and speed. Vehicle eMMC is introduced in the market to serve the automotive industry with a fast read/write rate and three times faster input and output performance per second.

These days vehicle computing systems demand a technology that is firm, light in weight, lasting, and highly effective in performance ratio. Vehicle eMMC is the answer to all these demands as this thing comes with a non-volatile memory that is highly reliable, durable, fast, and has strong safety parameters.

This article explains why vehicle eMMC is more perfect for vehicle design than previous technologies and its key specifications and market importance in this era.

The Shift towards Vehicle eMMC

 eMMC refers to embedded multimedia cards and this version is incorporated with MMC components which include NAND flash memory and a controller together packed into a BGA packaging. This is the latest model of MMC and is highly boosting computing power. In the beginning, this technology is not so famous because of its slow performance so manufacturing industries were greatly using the HDD SATA interface. Later on, the eMMC 5.1 version was launched in the market with the functionality of high-speed performance, fast read/write rate, and low power consumption and today it is playing a major role in the advancement of the automobile industry.

Automobile manufacturers replaced the previous generations of storing technologies with the eMMC. It is because the HDD with SATA and PATA uses moving disks that are more susceptible to damage in an intense working scenario so these hard disk drives are not firm enough to withstand the tough working conditions of the vehicle environment. eMMC is significantly known for empowering space-constrained systems and has reached the high ranks of praise. The long working lifetime, reliability, persistence, speed, and permanence of eMMC pursued automobile manufacturers to shift their interest towards vehicle eMMC.

The eMMC interface is highly innovative and is assisting the manufacturers to come up with vehicle systems possessing excellent driving features such as easy-to-use user panels and high-end in-car entertainment systems. There seems like everything these days need eMMC storage such as phones, tablets, refrigerators, vehicles, etc. Many newer cars are now using eMMCs to store data such as music, navigation maps, and vehicle settings. To tackle with emerging needs of the automobile industry, Longsys came up with innovative versions of vehicle storage solutions that are smart enough to deal with tough vehicle environments.

FORESEE Vehicle eMMC Overview

FORESEE established the embedded storage solution in the year 2011. With ten years of growth and development, it has introduced many versions of embedded solutions including vehicle eMMC. The simplified design of our solution provides a high level of flash memory management thus serving a wide range of systems. Automotive solutions are developed to fulfill the leading requirements of smart functions in an automobile such as vehicle media systems, traffic monitoring systems, maps navigation, car radio system, multimedia system, speech recognition system, dash cams, etc.

The automobile operation is adverse and it generates strong vibrations which may result in the loosening of components and climatic fluctuation in different geographical locations can also be a challenge for the vehicle’s smart system to do its job correctly. Luckily, the FORESEE automobile solutions have all the capabilities to deal with the tough challenges of the vehicle environment. All the solutions are specified to tolerate the operating temperature up to -40 to 105°C. These solutions can offer a storage capacity of up to 128GB thus giving the facility to manufacturers to fulfill the memory needs of different varieties of vehicles. Each product passed through a strict automobile verification test and quality assurance test.

The car navigation system is the most important system of almost every vehicle and to provide the very experience of map navigation, our storage items are packed with data protection support thus ensuring that all the pre-recorded maps data and other information is protected.

Product Importance

1. Service life

The eMMC is capable to provide thousands of read/write cycles and failure of eMMC can cause the automotive system to become unstable. This automobile internal storage technology holds strong importance in maintaining the various operations of the automobile by frequent reading of information. The automotive industry is focusing to use a highly reliable storage device. eMMC is known to have long serving period than any other device. The service time greatly depends on the amount of read/write performance and the device’s firmware.

2. Wide Scope

These storage cards have a bright future ahead in the field of the automotive and mobile industries. Its popularity and importance greatly rely on its high stability and flexible firmware. Now, it is becoming a major part of the internet of things. Manufacturing companies are incorporating this thing in almost every smart system such as refrigerators, traffic systems, vehicles, tablets, watches, etc.

3. Better than HDDs and SSDs

No doubt that Hard disk drives and solid state drives are the major treasures of storage industries but they cannot be fit into volume-constrained systems. The eMMC has a small footprint that makes it a superior device and its tiny footprint is perfect to serve the IoT, mobile and automotive industries.

Conclusion

The automotive industry is getting advanced with the passage of time and automobile testing centers claim that there will be a 50% increase in the ratio of vehicle information electronic parts by the year 2030. Thus, the market trend of automotive components is rising day by day and is one of the great business opportunities for investors.
