Mentor: Realizing the transition to in-vehicle infotainment technology

Mentor Graphics (Mingdao International), a leading manufacturer of electronic design automation technology, recently released a research report introducing the current status and development prospects of in-vehicle infotainment systems. The full text of the Chinese version of the report can be read and downloaded on the official website of Mentor Graphics.

The GENIVI compliant platform includes Linux services, middleware, and open application layer interfaces. These are indispensable but indispensable core elements in the entire in-vehicle infotainment solution portfolio.

Mentor Graphics International Infotainment Design Solution: Meets GENIVI requirements and is based on Intel Atom, ARM Cortex-A8 and ARM Cortex-A9 platforms.

The report's author, Andrew Patterson, is the director of business development for Mentor Graphics' embedded software division specializing in the automotive market. Prior to joining Mentor Graphics, Andrew has worked in the design automation market for more than 20 years, focusing on multiple technologies including wire harness design, automotive simulation model development, virtual prototypes, and mechanical electronics. Currently, he is focused on working with the GENIVI industry alliance and leading Mentor Graphics to develop infotainment and in-vehicle electronic clusters and telematics solutions. Andrew holds a master's degree in engineering and power science from Cambridge University.

Today, the functionality of in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems plays a key role in consumers ’decision to buy a new car. Consumers have great expectations for the level of in-vehicle infotainment functions of each newly launched model. Therefore, auto manufacturers and their suppliers are also facing great pressure. In order to surpass their competitors, they need to launch new in-vehicle infotainment systems at a faster rate.

Standard in-vehicle infotainment functions currently include GPS navigation, multimedia entertainment, audio control, and safety diagnostics. In the future, evolving in-vehicle infotainment technologies will also include mobile office, user-downloadable applications, intelligent navigation and vehicle tracking, gesture recognition, and cloud connectivity. Downstream of the supply chain, semiconductor manufacturers are working to expand their business and product lines to support in-vehicle infotainment functions. Just like the open road, the future of in-vehicle infotainment is full of infinite possibilities.

Mentor Graphics International Infotainment System Design Solution

Mentor Graphics International provides a full range of design tools and services to quickly implement GENIVI-compatible in-vehicle infotainment solutions. The core of Mentor Graphics® in-vehicle infotainment solution is the reliable, proven and flexible Linux operating system-Mentor® Embedded Linux. It integrates graphics, communications, and multimedia middleware (including connectivity, audio, voice, positioning, networking, and security components) with databases, system infrastructure, and management components, all running on the Linux kernel and related drivers. Mentor Embedded Linux is integrated into popular processor architectures such as Intel® Atom ™, ARM Cortex-A8 and ARM Cortex-A9.

A key component of Mentor Embedded Linux is the build system launched in January 2009, which is the first commercial embedded Linux support tool based on the Open Embedded (OE) project. Today, Mentor International ’s engineers continue to play an important role in the Linux development community by actively participating in the OE / Yocto project. The Mentor Embedded Linux build system takes advantage of open embedded technology and adds extensive documentation, host support, metadata support, source mirroring, binary caching, and more.

For human-machine interface design, Mentor Graphics Inflexion â„¢ user interface has become the new choice for customers worldwide who build advanced user interfaces to provide unique in-vehicle infotainment solutions. With Inflexion, no matter which in-vehicle infotainment software platform is adopted, designers and developers can continue to innovate and progress in human-machine interface design.

If needed, Mentor Graphics International Embedded Professional Services can provide professional system design and support for in-vehicle infotainment developers. Services cover the life cycle of planning, building, deploying and managing complex advanced in-vehicle infotainment systems.

Car infotainment has a bright future

Since the introduction of car radios, in-vehicle infotainment has made considerable progress. Consumers now want their mobile phones and portable devices to be seamlessly connected, while bringing a unique infotainment experience to each occupant.

For each new model that goes offline, the amount of software required to do so increases exponentially. The in-vehicle infotainment features consumers see (unique for each car manufacturer and specific car model) are based on complex application combinations that require equally complex middleware support. Although the user experience is the key factor that makes automotive OEMs stand out, middleware requirements are usually very similar regardless of the manufacturer.

When selecting and buying new cars, the in-vehicle infotainment user experience has become an increasingly important consideration, which has driven the rapid increase in in-vehicle infotainment functions and requirements. With the help of compliance agencies such as the GENIVI Alliance, the future development of bold, innovative and exciting in-vehicle infotainment systems is very broad.
