INIC eLITE is a simple, cost-effective automotive networking solution to transfer digital audio, video, data services, and bi-directional control information between two or more devices, such as an integrated head unit and a multichannel amplifier.

The included "Local Control" application reference software implements a multichannel audio connection between a source node, the OS81082 Evaluation Board, and a sink node, the INIC eLITE Board, to demonstrate the simplicity of configuring an INIC eLITE networking link. This reference software includes the monitoring and control of a temperature sensor on the sink node. The source node includes a control message "SPY" function that captures the communication between the External Host Controller (EHC) and the OS81082 INIC. This information can be displayed on a PC using the included Port Message Viewer.
