As a trusted embedded technology partner, we at Embitel Technologies have delivered an end-to-end automotive infotainment solution for a Tier-I Supplier.
Now under production, this system will be deployed for commercial vehicles.
The infotainment system is loaded with information and entertainment related multimedia features like virtual gauges, navigation maps, voice recognition, access to media files, app-store, phone call/message syncing using BT and more.
Hence this system needs to communicate with several ECUs to fetch various vehicle parameters.
Embitel’s infotainment software development team needed an off-the-shelf communication layer that can be configured easily. This would ensure reduced development time and add value to the bottomline of the project costs.
The team decided to integrate the J1939 stack designed in-house to save time and costs. So our cross-functional expertise in Embedded and Automotive technology added value to our client’s product roadmap.
Following are the details of the solution:
Infotainment in automobiles is the integrated system that delivers entertainment and information content.
Typical tasks that can be performed with an in-vehicle infotainment system include managing and playing audio content, utilizing navigation for driving, delivering rear-seat entertainment such as movies, games, social networking, etc., listening to incoming and sending outgoing SMS text messages, making phone calls, and accessing Internet-enabled or smartphone-enabled content such as traffic conditions, sports scores and weather forecasts.
