In response to the increasing demand for
advanced security for automotive processors,
the i.MX534 and i.MX536 processors deliver
hardware enabled security features that
support secure e-commerce, digital rights
management (DRM), information encryption,
secure boot and secure software downloads.
Customer programmable hardware protection
of key interfaces such as JTAG is also
supported.

Features
The first product in this family, the i.MX534,
combines the high-performance ARM CPU
with an OpenGL® ES 2.0-compatible graphics
engine, plus an independent OpenVG™ 1.1
graphics engine, allowing the ultimate in
flexibility for applications such as graphical
instrument clusters which require simultaneous
rendering for both 3-D and 2-D images for
driver information. The i.MX536 adds a multi-
format video engine capable of decoding
industry standard video formats up to full 1080p
resolution and video encoding up to 720p
resolution. Both products have dual display
interfaces to enable multiple in-vehicle displays.
