introduction
When it comes to the main control SoC chip used in the cockpit domain controller, the first thing you think of should be Qualcomm's SA8155P. At present, in the mid-to-high-end models newly launched by OEMs, Qualcomm's SA8155P is used as the main control SoC chip for the cockpit. Why is SA8155P favored by many OEMs? Let’s take a look at the iterative history of Qualcomm’s cockpit SoC chip.
