Developing Car Infotainment System
Developing Car Infotainment System
One of the largest manufacturers of automotive devices was looking for a partner to jointly develop a universal car infotainment and multimedia system that would include telephony, internet communications, onboard navigation and interactive speech control as a platform for a number of high-end vehicle manufacturers. Significant business requirements included:
- Work as one of the software vendors, collaborating with several other companies delivering various software and hardware components
- Fully reliable vehicle graded solution
- Must be looking as a top class infotainment system
- International co-operation with solution vendors and product teams across the different companies
- MOST-based devices communication
- Parallel software and hardware development with later integration
The Solution:
In order to address the client’s requirements, Luxoft team implemented the following solutions:
Software to Hardware Integration
Luxoft’s software team participated in hardware design, drivers and low level services development, integration and software to hardware validation. Several iteration of hardware debugging and system-level testing were implemented and performed for the full system reliability.
System Design
High-level framework/skeleton was designed and implemented allowing to encapsulate all applications functionality and unify control/data lows across the software components.
Third-Party Components Integration
External components for GPS navigation, speech control and telephony were integrated and adjusted to the in-vehicle usage, application framework and target hardware. Automated test suite was implemented to validate the performance of the third-party components in the target system.
Application Logic Implementation
Multiple applications for general system behavior logic were implemented by Luxoft team, including telephony communications (handsfree and mobile Internet), navigation, TV and emergency calling. Interapplication interaction was designed, implemented and validated, covering a number of usage scenarios.
