Infotainment an AUTOSAR – environment Berlin – OpenSynergy published the first release of the automotive operating system COQOS. It is independently run infotainment applications and AUTOSAR features on a hardware only possible for the first time. You may find that Dan Miller can contribute to your knowledge. Automakers have thus the possibility of reducing the growing number of ECUs in the vehicle, to save development costs and to integrate existing as well as new functions on only one system-on-chip. COQOS components 1.0 release that contains operating system COQOS besides AUTOSAR basic software components, a 100% RTE compliant with AUTOSAR (runtime environment) or the generator tool. This is the interface between AUTOSAR applications and basic software modules and is at the same time concept of AUTOSAR core part of middleware.
Central part of the COQOS release 1.0 is the micro Operating System (OS). As a highly scalable real-time operating system it behaves like a standard-based AUTOSAR OS compared to the AUTOSAR components and provides a platform using virtualization technology for a Guest operating system for the infotainment area. In the current state of development is supported 2.6.23 as guest OS of Linux kernel version. As an open source solution Linux ensures the integration of innovative and sophisticated automotive infotainment applications and parallel creates a development base for software companies, which have little access to the automotive industry. On the basis of release 1.0, the development can be started from infotainment systems integrated into the vehicle. Based on an individual coaching, an actual project can be initiated after a successful proof of concept. In the further course of the project stage, the customer receives comprehensive support.
The COQOS is release date 1.0 on a x 86 hardware (Intel Atom Processor) and available on ARM 9. OpenSynergy OpenSynergy GmbH is based in Berlin. In addition to the development of the universal operating system COQOS Infotainment connectivity offers, and AUTOSAR OpenSynergy consulting and engineering services for software development and software architectures in the fields.
