In-Vehicle Infotainment Community
Documentation
The hardware and software for an OIP should be designed to enable a wide range of applications that cater to in-vehicle usage scenarios. Applications include:
- Text to Speech (TTS) for navigation prompts, e-mail and SMS messages
- Speech Recognition to enable hands-free interaction with the head unit's HMI
- Video applications that stream multiple programs to the rear seat displays while simultaneously displaying rear-view camera video on the head unit display
- Navigation applications that combine on-board navigation with real-time traffic updates from the Internet
The Moblin-based software architecture and reference implementation include features that are well suited for IVI applications:
- Vehicle Identification Number support
- Traffic Information Manager
- Automotive Connectivity support
- Bootloader with special boot options and fast startup support
- SMS/MMS Gateway
Architecture Overview Document
This document provides a summary of the hardware and software reference implementation within the Moblin IVI community, which can be used to develop an OIP.
