Earlier in July GENIVI received configuration for the GENIVI Development platform to run on another popular development board. This time it was Qualcomm’s Dragon Board. This board uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and includes things like bluetooth and GPS and seems quite well suited to running automotive software. I'm including a screen shot below from GitHub showing how Changhyeok Bae and Tom Pollard spun the new board up. Since GENIVI uses build-from-source build tools, namely Yocto and Baserock, we're able quickly port GDP to new hardware as long as there is a fairly recent kernel available for the hardware.

We look forward to more silicon joining the stable and a warm welcome to the Dragon board!
