By
ChannelTimes Staff
Mumbai, May 21, 2008
Wind River Systems, a company working on Device Software Optimization (DSO), is collaborating with Intel Corporation to create an open source Linux platform for the automotive industry.
The company, working with Intel, is developing an open source platform for the in-vehicle infotainment market. The platform will be optimized for the Intel Atom processor.
Contextually, the Atom processor was introduced in April 2008. It will be suited for in-vehicle infotainment solutions - that demand connected, multimedia and graphics intensive application support in a low-power envelope.
According to the company sources, as part of a major new product strategy for Wind River and the broader in-vehicle device industry, the company will make available open source specification and code from the platform to the open source community via a new in-vehicle infotainment segment within moblin.org.
The site is a community web site for software vendors and Linux users to collaborate, share solutions and contribute code. The code, in combination with the Intel Atom processor, will enable the development of Open Infotainment Platforms that are based on interoperable, standards-based hardware and software components. This will allow manufacturers to scale software across devices, leading to cost and development efficiencies.
