Mentor
Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced the release of a
GENIVI 2.0-compliant, Linux®-based In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI)
Solution. The Mentor ®Embedded IVI
Base Platform includes new GENIVI 2.0 features such as audio manager
support and lower-level system management functions. Target hardware
platform support includes the Sabre and SabreLite IVI solutions from
Freescale, specifically targeted at the IVI marketplace.
"ADIT, a joint venture of Robert Bosch Car Multimedia GmbH and DENSO
Corporation, has selected Mentor Graphics as one of their OSV partners
to develop a GENIVI 2.0-compliant software platform," stated Dr. Wilhelm
Grabow, managing director at ADIT. "We chose to work with Mentor due to
their active participation in GENIVI and availability of GENIVI-based
standard product portfolio, plus Mentor's extensive experience in Open
Source consumer electronics software product development."
The Mentor
Embedded IVI Linux Solution integrates graphics, communication and
multimedia middleware with libraries, system infrastructure, and
management components on top of Linux, and drivers for specific
hardware. Mentor Embedded development tools and expert services provide
a comprehensive solution for automotive original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) and their suppliers, enabling them to build the next generation
of IVI systems and include open source software components.
A GENIVI 2.0-compliant demonstration based on the Mentor Embedded IVI
Base Platform will be featured at the 12th annual Integrated
Electrical Solutions Forum (IESF) event, targeting electronic design for
automotive, commercial vehicle, and off-highway markets, on Thursday,
June 14 in Dearborn, Michigan.
"Mentor Graphics has a long history of delivering best-in-class
solutions for the transportation industry and our announcement of this
GENIVI support means that OEMs and their supply chain can benefit from
the long-term security of an industry-standard, open source base
platform, coupled with Mentor's IVI system design tools," stated Glenn
Perry, general manager of the Mentor Embedded Software Division. "As a
board member of the GENIVI Alliance, we are committed to closely
following the GENIVI standard and providing OEMs and their suppliers
with the ability to base designs on an accepted standard platform. This
will result in reduced costs and overhead benefiting the automotive
community."
As an active participant in GENIVI, Mentor Embedded closely tracks
statements of requirement for IVI systems design. Mentor will continue
to provide a compliant Linux-based platform for IVI systems designers as
new GENIVI specifications become available. For more information on the
