The IVI team is excited to announce the availability of Tizen IVI 3.0 for In-Vehicle Infotainment. Tizen IVI 3.0 is a Linux-based open source operating system and Tizen profile widely accepted by the automotive industry. It bundles popular and well supported open source projects where suitable and new industry-specific components where no solutions existed. This makes it the most advanced open source distribution available for automobiles today. Tizen IVI 3.0 is GENIVI 7.0 compliant on Nexcom VTC 1010-IVI [3] and MinnowBoard Max [4] devices and was chosen as the reference implementation for Linux Foundation's Automotive Grade Linux [5] project. Tizen IVI 3.0 comes with a compliance spec [6] and test suite to ensure device interoperability. We also announce the final version of Tizen IVI SDK [7] for web application development including access to W3C compliant vehicle Web APIs. Tizen web runtime engine provides the highest standards in HTML5 compatibility and system performance. Additionally we have added experimental support for the Yocto Framework [8] giving the community and automotive professionals the choice to use their favorite build tool to adapt and enhance Tizen IVI 3.0 images based on their requirements. Tizen IVI 3.0 provides a strong foundation for building modern commercial automotive solutions.

Note: The engineering name for this release in JIRA [9] is M14.4 but its official name is Tizen IVI 3.0.
