What is the GENIVI Development Platform?

The GENIVI Development Platform is an Open Source project for automotive with three main goals;

• Deliver a system developers can use to create software components for automotive.
• A platform focused on automotive use cases to enable developers to create applications and demos targeting the industry.
• A starter kit that can be downloaded and customized for different hardware focused in automotive use cases.

  Where are we going next? 

• Stakeholders can constantly reprioritize the project backlog but for a brief intro consider the GDP-Next presentation from the most recent All Member Meeting.
  
  

To achieve these goals, GDP has two main deliverables from the official project, plus spins.

• GDP Releases: images released regularly to make the integrated software easy to consume.
  • To download the latest GDP in binary form, please go to the GDP Download page.
  • The latest stable version is GDP 11.
• GDP Master: integration point where more experienced developers can build from scratch their own images.
• GDP Spins are endorsed variations of GDP developed by other teams/companies to show off a unique HMI or application standard.

Check a more detailed description of GDP components through the wiki page GDP In Detail. You can more specific answers to these and similar questions in our GDP FAQ.
