GENIVI has expanded its scope from its strength in Linux-based IVI and automotive open source software to focus on helping automakers integrate the multiple operating systems present in the centralized and connected cockpit.

Vehicle E/E and software architecture trends have led GENIVI to advance into concepts of central domain ECUs, cross domain ECUs (domain fusion) and eventually to a vehicle computer approach.  Longer-term, GENIVI is also exploring vehicle cloud computing.

New projects launched in this scope expansion include:

• • • Android

      ) Automotive

       Automotive Special Interest Group (SIG)

    • Multi-OS Integration Project (in formation).
      
      

Work done in late 2017 and throughout 2018 in what GENIVI called domain interaction projects laid a strong foundation for this new multi-OS integration scope expansion. The following domain interaction projects are active and have relevance in the new integration scope:

• • • Display Sharing & Distributed HMI 

    • Advanced Hypervisor APIs 

    • Generic Communication Protocols.

Some quick to read and interesting results are published as Technology Briefs and Whitepapers.   

GENIVI continues to provide a baseline for GENIVI Compliant

 IVI platforms and the GENIVI Development Platform (GDP) will remain accessible for demonstrators and other code development activities.

GENIVI continues to host a number of IVI software components in our github repository.
