What characterizes an “IVI open source development platform” ?
The GENIVI open source platform consists of linux-based core services, middleware, and open application layer interfaces. These are the essential, but non-differentiating, core elements of the overall IVI solution set. The automobile manufacturers and their suppliers will use this platform as their common underlying framework and add to it their differentiated products and services (the consumer facing applications and interfaces). GENIVI is identifying these common automotive infotainment industry requirements to establish a higher baseline from which to develop products for the common good of the ecosystem.
