The GENIVI Development Platform (GDP) includes, but is not limited to, the following list of components:

• Hardware: target boards:
  • GDP ship ports to a variety of target boards for each release. The number of boards expand based on contributions. You can find further information in the GDP releases wiki page
  • BSP layer: each target board requires a BSP layer with specific kernel, drivers and configurations to make the board work properly.
    
    
• Meta-ivi is a GENIVI project, the base layer for GDP. Find more info about meta-ivi in this wiki. Meta-ivi has the following main modules/components:
  • Diagnostic Log and Trace: Project Webpage / git
  • Persistence: Project Webpage
    • Administrator: git
    • Client Library: git
    • DB config tool: git
    • Health monitor: git
    • Common object: git
  • Lifecycle (not integrated in GDP yet).
    
    • Node State Manager: git
    • Node Startup Controller: git
    • Node Health Monitor: git
  • Wayland-ivi-extension: documentation / git
  • Audio Manager: documentation / git
  • Common API C++: documentation / git
    
    
• Meta Qt5: project WebPage / git
  
  
• meta-genivi-dev layer is formed by those components present in GDP on top of meta-ivi. The main ones are:
  • Automotive Message Broker: Documentation / git
  • RVI SOTA Client: documentation and git repository
  • Audio Manager Monitor: GDP Audio Manager Monitor / git
  • Fuel Stop Adviser (FSA): Project webpage / git
  • QML and weston examples
  • Proof of concepts:
    • Browser: Project webpage / git
    • FM Radio git
    • Climate Control git
    • Connected Home git
  • HMI launcher: user Interface documentation / git
  • Location-based Services
    • Positioning: git
    • Navigation: git
       
• meta-rvi is a layer that add the Remote Vehicle Interaction (RVI) to GDP. RVI provides a unified framework for remote interaction from devices and the cloud with a vehicle through various communication channels that are handled transparently. It's infrastructure is the foundation for applications falling into the three macro use cases for remote access to vehicles over networks:
  • Vehicle Control - retrieve vehicle status information and carry out control actions
  • SOTA - updating vehicle software, configuration data, maps, etc. over the air
  • Big Data - collecting, filtering, preprocessing and transmitting vehicle data
  RVI can be used by application in two different ways:
  • RVI Core - a high-reliability Erlang-based server - project details can be found at https://github.com/GENIVI/rvi_core
  • RVI Lib - a library developed in C that applications can statically (.a) and dynamically (.so) link against - project details can be found at https://github.com/GENIVI/rvi_lib
  The OE layer meta-rvi can be found at https://github.com/GENIVI/meta-rvi. It has recipes to build both RVI Core and RVI Lib.

GDP deliverables

GDP has two deliverables:

1. GDP Master targets contributors and developers familiar with Yocto.
2. GDP releases target users and application developers that want to use GDP as demo platform for their solutions.

• GDP FAQ
• Some initial work has been done on providing acceptance tests for the QEMU build of GDP. The tests are contained in a GITHUB repository, see the python subdirectory for the code and python/Tests for some exemplar tests. These tests can be run using runOneTest.py - the tests assume that you are in the gdp-src-build directory in order to run successfully, alternatively you should set the QEMU_IMAGE_DIR to point to the correct location (or to "." for the currect directory. See the repos README for addtional information.

These links apply to GDP Intrepid version (GDP-ivi7).  In any case, there are very interesting:

• SDK preparation, build and setup for GDP-ivi7
• Application development tutorial
• Platform development tutorial
• OCF (meta-genivi-ocf-demo) (page unavailable)
