Black Sesame Smart Huashan No. 2 A1000 series chip passed AEC-Q100 certification

     Black Sesame Intelligence, the global leader in autonomous driving computing chips, announced that its Huashan No. 2 A1000 series autonomous driving computing chips have passed the AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certification. Previously, Black Sesame Smart has passed ASPICE CL2 vehicle-level software certification, ISO 26262:2018 ASIL D functional safety process certification and ISO26262 functional safety product ASIL B certification. Black Sesame Smart is the first self-driving chip company in China that has collected functional safety expert certification + functional safety process certification + product certification.

     AEC-Q100 is a reliability test standard for automotive electronic components formulated by the Global Automotive Electronics Association. It is an important guide for parts suppliers in the automotive industry and has high authority in the global automotive industry. This test subjects components to various stress tests during the design phase to enable predictable, higher reliability smart vehicle systems. The test conditions for this certification are extremely harsh, requiring multiple rounds of verification, and the process often requires multi-party collaboration, which takes a long time and tests the R&D capabilities and teamwork spirit of participating companies.

     He Tiejun, director of research and development of Black Sesame Smart SOC, said that at the beginning of each product design, Black Sesame Smart puts safety and reliability requirements first, repeatedly iterates and polishes the product design, and fully improves the design to ensure that the product Meet stringent requirements such as environmental stress accelerated verification, life accelerated simulation verification, and packaging verification.

     Black Sesame Intelligence is committed to building the most powerful autonomous driving computing chip in China. Based on two core self-developed IPs -- NeuralIQ ISP image signal processor and high-performance deep neural network algorithm platform DynamAI NN engine, Huashan series 2 has been released since its establishment. Generation of 4 high-performance and large computing power autonomous driving chips. Under the current situation of competition among thousands of troops in the field of autonomous driving chips, Black Sesame Intelligence relies on a strong R&D team to continuously introduce new products, and at the same time pays great attention to building a complete and reliable vehicle-level certification system.

     In June 2021, Black Sesame Intelligence obtained the ISO 26262:2018 ASIL D functional safety process certification issued by SGS, becoming one of the few companies in China that passed the certification in advance with zero deviation and excellent results, which marked the establishment of Black Sesame Intelligence. A complete functional safety system that meets the requirements of the highest level of automotive safety, ASIL D.

     Previously, the Huashan No. 2 A1000 autonomous driving computing chip of Black Sesame Intelligence has obtained the ISO26262 functional safety product ASIL B certification, and it is the first autonomous driving computing chip in China that has passed the functional safety certification. Recently, Black Sesame Intelligence has obtained the world's first ASPICE CL2 certification from DEKRA, which is internationally recognized as the most valuable software development "pass".

     The passing of the AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certification this time has further strengthened the quality system of Black Sesame Smart, which also indicates that Black Sesame Smart has built a complete and comprehensive R&D and quality control system. In terms of platform research and development, it has the ability to provide high-standard, safer software technology solutions and customized services for global OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

     Self-driving cars are the foundation of future digital cities, and self-driving technology will empower future travel. Based on the field of autonomous driving chips, Black Sesame Intelligence leads the innovation of autonomous driving technology. Passing a number of vehicle-level certifications is a strong proof of the advantages of Black Sesame's intelligent technology and product system. On this basis, with the blessing of an open ecology and flexible business model, Black Sesame Intelligence will work with industry chain partners to promote the early arrival of the era of autonomous driving.
