The first automotive system-on-a-chip (SoC) equipped with ARM's big.LITTLE architecture is launched. Aiming at the business opportunities in the in-vehicle communication and entertainment (Infotainment) system market, Renesas Electronics launched the high-end car chip R-Car H2, and introduced the big.LITTLE size core design, which can provide 25,000 DMIPS computing performance to meet the needs of high-end car navigation systems. Three-dimensional (3D) drawing application.
Ryuji Omura, executive manager of Renesas Electronics, said that the demand for high-end audio and video systems in vehicle communication and entertainment system factories is gradually heating up. Therefore, Renesas ’second-generation R-Car H2 chip is equipped with a big.LITTLE processor architecture and works with embedded systems. System, intermediary software and tool suppliers collaborate to meet the expectations of system manufacturers for higher picture quality and 3D audio and video systems.
It is understood that the R-Car H2 chip is imported into the ARM Cortex A-15 quad-core architecture, plus the ARM Cortex A-7 core. Not only that, R-Car H2's multimedia hardware accelerator has four times the 1,080p audio and video codec function, can support 60 frames per second Blu-ray frame, image / sound recognition, almost no central processor (CPU) for additional processing. In addition, R-Car H2 can also support both human-machine interface (HMI) and augmented reality (AR) functions.
In addition to introducing the big.LITTLE architecture, R-Car H2 has also become the world ’s first automotive system-on-a-chip integrated graphics processor (GPU). With the built-in ImaginaTIon PowerVR Series6 G6400, in addition to providing 3D image processing functions, And can support OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.0 and other standard standards, help system manufacturers to more efficiently develop the next-generation vehicle communication entertainment system. 
Instruction Manual
1. Features
Clock display, 10 sets of adjustable timed power control, randomized power control, manual switch and optional DST setup.
2. First time charging
This timer contains a rechargeable battery. It is normal that the new/old model runs out of battery if it wasn`t being charged for a long period of time. In this case, the screen will not turn on.
To charge : simply plug the timer to a power outlet. The charging time should take at least 15 minutes.
If the screen doesn`t light up or displays garbled characters, simply reboot the system by pressing the [RESET" button.
3. Set clock
Hold [CLOCK" button and [WEEK" button to adjust week.
Hold [CLOCK" button and [HOUR" button to adjust hour.
Hold [CLOCK" button and [MINUTE" button to adjust minute.
Hold [CLOCK" button and [TIMER" button to select 12 hour/24 hour display.
Hold [CLOCK" button and [ON/AUTO/OFF" button to enable/disable DST (daylight-saving-time).
4. Set timer
Press [TIMER" button, select and set timer. Setting rotation : 1on, 1off, 2on, 2off, ...... , 10on, 10off.
Press [HOUR" button to set hour for timer.
Press [MIN" button to set minute for timer.
Press [WEEK" button to set weekday for timer. Multiple weekdays can be selected. ex: if selected [MO", the timer will only apply on every Monday; if selected [ MO, WE, FR", the timer will apply on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Press [RES/RCL" button to cancel the selected on or off timer. The screen will show "-- -- : -- --" , the timer is canceled.
Press [RES/RCL" button again to reactivate the timer.
When timers are set, press [CLOCK" to quit timer setting and return to clock.
5. Random function
Press [RANDOM" button to activate random function, press again to cancel function.
System only runs random function when [AUTO" is on.
Random function will automatically start the timer from 2 to 32 minutes after the setting.
ex : if timer 1on was set to 19:30 with the random function on, the timer will activate randomly between 19:33 to 20:03.
if timer 1off was set to 23:00 with the random function on, the timer will activate randomly between 23:02 to 23:32.
To avoid overlapping, make sure to leave a minimum of 31 minutes gap between different sets of timer.
6. Manual control
Displayed features:
ON : socket turns on.
OFF : socket turns off.
AUTO : socket turns on/off automatically via timer.
Manual ON setting
Press [ON/AUTO/OFF" button to switch from [AUTO" to [ON".
This mode allows socket of the device to power up. Power indicator will light up.
Manual OFF setting
Press [ON/AUTO/OFF" button to switch from [AUTO" to [OFF".
This mode turns socket of the device off. Power indicators will turn off.
