Tizen IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment) is a Tizen-OS-based platform built specifically for the automobile. This session presents Tizen IVI APIs and demonstrates how to create and debug IVI applications using Tizen IVI profile in Tizen SDK.

Although an ARM port for pandaboard has been released for Tizen 2.0alpha based version of Tizen IVI, there is currently no similar release for Tizen-IVI 3.0 version. This presentation will discuss the process of starting with the x86 Tizen-IVI 3.0 release and bringing it up on a Renesas R-Car M2 evaluation board. Adding support for the Wayland/Weston windowing system and hardware accelerated multimedia decoding via gstreamer, as well as integrating non-Mesa based OpenGL graphics drivers will be discussed. Experiences cross-compiling Tizen-IVI for ARM from scratch will also be featured.

A good first impression is extremely important. It makes the difference between impressing a user thinking or making no impression at al. One of the first things drivers will see in their cars is the IVI user interface. Modello is an open source HTML5 UI proof-of-concept designed specifically for today's IVI systems and serves several purposes for Tizen IVI. In addition to demonstrating how an effective IVI UI could be laid out, Modello is also a test case for Tizen web APIs and performance. It can even be used as a way to quickly prototype new UI elements or applications.

This session discusses the things developers need to know to take advantage of vehicle-specific features. This includes best known methods for UI design in a vehicle, avoiding driver distraction, and taking advantage of zones and vehicle sensors. This session goes over brief IVI architecture and vehicle APIs necessary to make vehicle-aware applications.

Integrating contact PIM data into IVI has several unique challenges. The data must be available almost instantly after turning on the system and users expect good integration with their mobile phones and web services. A solution must be tuned for the specific needs of the UI and at the same time be flexible enough to be used in different models and car generations. In this talk, Patrick Ohly will present the solution chosen and enhanced for Tizen IVI over the last year: Evolution Data Servers stores contacts in sqlite, supporting direct reading for best performance.

The car is a rolling sensor platform. A half dozen automakers are building open source Internet of Things MQTT protocol into their next generation connected car for "always on" connection to the cloud for real-time big-data using that sensor data, vehicle-to-vehicle safety, predictive maintenance, and remote control from mobiles. Others are working with LF's AllSeen AllJoyn to IoT proximal peer-to-peer to enable the car for connected home and consumer electronics.

During this session we will present the new features provided by Tizen 3, particularly for IVI projects. After a sync on Tizen architecture and objectives, we will focus on the new additions of Tizen: Security model based on Mandatory Access Control, Fast boot, Multi user support, Windows management support and pure Wayland (no X dependencies), HTML5 and Web API status, and improvement in platform building.
