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 on 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.
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.
- 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.
