Wind River Brings Infotainment to CarsBy Wind River Systems' new Tornado for Car Infotainment development platform has been created to aide developers in building car infotainment and telematic devices, such as in-car navigation systems, global positioning systems, car entertainment systems, and wireless automotive devices. Tornado for Car Infotainment provides a pre-integrated software development package that combines Wind River's embedded software with the latest automotive connectivity and wireless networking protocols. In addition, Wind River partners provide integrated solutions in the area of voice recognition, browser service delivery management, and complementary networking, giving developers all the necessary tools to quickly build car infotainment and telematic devices. The package is comprised of Wind River's Tornado integrated development environment, VxWorks real-time operating system, embedded development tools, WindML multimedia libraries, Personal JWorks Java solution, and automotive-specific components including support for controller area network (CAN), IDB-C, Media Oriented System Transport (MOST), Bluetooth, voice command-and-control, and synthesized voice information for the driver. Tornado for Car Infotainment is designed to shift the focus of automotive device developers from the integration of enabling technologies to the development of the application itself -- reducing development cost and speeding time to market. In addition, Tornado for Car Infotainment users will be able to leverage the technology of 600 WindLink partners bringing complementary technologies, such as speech recognition, browsers, open service gateway initiative (OSGI), and IDB-1394 networking protocol stack. "The challenge for OEMs and tier1 suppliers alike, is to provide competitive, flexible, scalable, and reliable in-car telematic applications that incorporate emerging industry standards and meet tightening development cycles, while still remaining cost effective," said Scot Morrison, vice president and general manager of Wind River's Automotive and Industrial business unit. "Wind River is introducing Tornado for Car Infotainment to give them all the necessary pre-integrated tools and components to shift the focus from integration and testing of enabling technologies to their value-added application software." Tornado for Car Infotainment will be available during the first quarter of 2002. Link: |
