MIPI Takes the Wheel to Drive Interface Specs

　　The MIPI Alliance is harnessing its horsepower developing interface specifications for mobile and mobile-influenced industries and applying it to the growing opportunity presented by automotive.　　Its new birds of a feather (BoF) group pulls together OEMs, suppliers and other industry experts to solicit industry input to enhance existing or develop new interface specifications for automotive applications. This includes data link requirements between surround sensors, electronic control units, actors and displays for driver assistance and autonomous driving projects beyond 2020.　　In a telephone interview with EE Times, MIPI Alliance Managing Director Peter Lefkin said its members are already leveraging specifications from the mobile space for automotive applications. “MIPI is primarily focuses on mobile, but that doesn't mean the specifications aren't moving into other industries," Lefkin said.　　Companies already participating in MIPI Alliance's Automotive BoF Group include Cadence Design Systems Inc., Microchip Technology Inc., Intel's Mobileye, NXP Semiconductors, Tektronix Inc., Teledyne LeCroy; Toshiba Corp. and Western Digital.　　Lefkin noted Jedec's UFS standard for automotive includes two MIPI specification references, and that MIPI already partners with other organizations where it makes sense.　　MIPI Alliance's industry-standard interfaces already enable a wide variety of automotive applications, including collision mitigation and avoidance, infotainment and navigation, added Matt Ronning, chair of the automotive BoF. For example, automotive manufacturers already use MIPI specifications to develop and implement applications for passive and active safety, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), such as the Camera Serial Interface 2 (MIPI CSI-2SM), Display Serial Interface (MIPI DSISM) and Display Serial Interface 2 (MIPI DSI-2SM). These are ideal for a variety of low- and high-bandwidth applications that integrate components such as cameras, displays, biometric readers, microphones and accelerometers, he said.　　For short-distance communications of less than 0.3 meters, the MIPI CSI specification is the most widely adopted in automotive camera applications and MIPI DSI is getting increasingly adopted. Ronning said the automotive industry's stricter standards for safety and reliability mean MIPI's electromagnetic interference (EMI) interfaces are well-suited for highly sensitive, mission-critical automotive applications.　　Ronning said that with 90 million cars being made a year, most of which carry eight to 10 cameras, the various components make automotive the second largest market next to smartphones. “That's what's driving interest from semiconductor and component manufacturers," Ronning said.　　There's also a strong push from governments around to improve fuel economy and foster electrical vehicles, as well as more intelligence in the car.　　“That tends to drive toward more sensors. Customers are demanding more safety, which also means more electronics, and electronics means shipping more data around," said Ronning.　　The automotive BoF group's initial focus will be to examine how MIPI specifications can potentially be extended to support communication link distances up to 15 meters, and at the same time support the high data rates associated with cameras and radar sensors for autonomous driving systems. “The complexities it presents are different than mobile," Ronning said.　　Another goal is to make sure customers don't get locked into a single source for any particular technology, said Ronning, and the BoF Group cuts across all aspects of MIPI, as well as including the top 10 automotive OEMs. “There's strong interest in an interface specification that is standard and can be supported by multiple vendors and interoperable vendor to vendor," Ronning added.

UL, MIPI Bolster IoT Security

　　UL (formerly Underwriters Laboratories) and the MIPI Alliance are the latest groups to expand security initiatives for the Internet of Things. They join groups such as the IoT Security Foundation, picking up the pace on what looks to be a never-ending journey toward a safer IoT.　　UL hopes to roll out by the end of the year a software security standard for IoT gateways and a set of best practices for software security in consumer IoT products. Its aims to ramp up its first initiatives in hardware security next year.　　The MIPI Alliance put out a separate call for participation in a new security working group. It aims to draft a security framework this year for systems using MIPI interconnects across areas including automotive, mobile and IoT.　　The efforts are among many that some experts say fall short. “Regulations are necessary, important and complex--and they’re coming. We can’t afford to ignore these issues until it’s too late,” said Bruce Schneier, a security expert and Harvard lecturer, in testimony to the U.S. Congress last November, following the Mirai attack.　　“The government could impose minimum security standards on IoT manufacturers, forcing them to make their devices secure even though their customers don’t care. They could impose liabilities on manufacturers…The details would need to be carefully scoped, but either of these options would raise the cost of insecurity and give companies incentives to spend money making their devices secure,” Schneier said, noting consumers typically don’t want to pay more for security.　　Indeed, only two companies have received certification for the initial UL 2900 cybersecurity standards the UL rolled out in April 2016, although many more products are now in the UL’s pipeline.　　“Some industries are fairly mature, with dedicated cybersecurity teams that can respond quickly and others are more immature such as new, innovative consumer IoT companies that may have just one person responsible and looking for guidelines,” said Ken Modeste, a principal engineer leading UL’s security effort.　　Meanwhile, UL is also expanding the 2900 suite to include a variety access control and building automation devices. It has 10 companies working on its consumer IoT best practices guidelines and details of its IoT gateway spec coming out within days.　　“We see this as a long-term initiative that will take many years to accomplish some kind of cyber-supremacy over the risks out there,” he said. “This program can’t be a catch-all for 100 percent of the issues, but we can build a foundation,” he added.　　“The request for the hardware part of security is becoming more prevalent, so our goal is to initiate it in the middle of next year. We have some hardware initiatives around payment terminals and automotive, and our goal is to find a way to address hardware overall,” Modeste said.　　The hardware effort may try to create a certification program for how devices use password or encrypted keys to store and access data. “We welcome collaboration with players in this space, he said, noting a need for hardware expects across domains including automotive, FPGAs and microcontrollers.
