Developing the Next Generation Embedded HMIs
- 1. Developing Embedded Automotive HMI & IVI Phil Burr, Director, HMI Product Marketing mentor.com/embedded
- 2. Overview Mentor Graphics Established in 1981 Over 4,700 Employees Annual Revenues of ~$1Bn The only EDA company with embedded software since 1996 Award winning support in 53 locations worldwide Mentor Embedded Comprehensive product and services for embedded development Solutions include Nucleus, software, tools, and services Independent software provider with 300 engineers and worldwide support Acquired Montavista automotive business - Mentor now #1 automotive Linux company!

- 6. IVI Design Challenges … Open Source Driver Distraction Migration to Linux Best Hardware Telematics HMI Performance Connected Car Android Multi-Mode Function Support User Inputs Consolidation Apps
- 7. Linux-based IVI systems now available Linux has strong pedigree in consumer electronics and enterprise networking – A natural fit for advanced IVI systems Rather than adding consumer features to a traditional ―automotive OS,‖ OEMs using Linux can – Take advantage of a vibrant ecosystem – Work with active communities of world-class developers – Re-use mountains of pre-existing open source code, which can be modified for automotive use
- 8. Cultural challenges The automotive industry is very competitive. Sharing even non-differentiating software elements among competitors is a relatively new phenomenon. Putting your own work, your own code, your own IP into the ―wilds‖ of open source – The benefits difficult to grasp versus the risks – Often a hard sell within any company, even those with some Linux experience in their enterprise
- 9. A second challenge: IVI is different than consumer In-vehicle infotainment can – work side-by-side with consumer device – share many of the same features – even compete with consumer products Good fit for Linux-based software found in CE devices But IVI devices – have more stringent requirements – include automotive-specific functions – will almost always have features proprietary to the device maker – require a long product life
- 10. The GENIVI Alliance A non-profit organization of over 130 of the top automotive OEMs and their suppliers Driving adoption of open source in IVI – Addressing automotive/cultural concerns – Providing a collaboration environment for its members to contribute jointly on essential but non-differentiating middleware GENIVI members then each build competitive products with unique HMI and advanced applications
