What is Android Automotive OS?
Android Automotive OS (AAOS for short) is an extension of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). It is used in the automotive field in heads-up displays and in-vehicle infotainment systems.
Android Automotive
With Android Automotive, Google Takes ist well–known, sophisticated Android smartphone operating system to the next level. By connecting to vehicle bus systems, like the well-known CAN bus, Android functions as the perfect vehicle control centre and head unit. Android Automotive benefits from the experience and best practices gained from over 15 years of smartphone development. It provides a familiar environment which serves as a manufacturer-independent basis for simple, rapid application development; a high security standard integrated directly into the operating system; a sophisticated hardware abstraction layer; and mature tools for creating graphically advanced head unit designs with company-specific branding.
Android Auto
In Android Auto, Google provides a second, less extensive way for vehicle manufacturers to enable their customers to experience the benefits of Android, particularly in the infotainment sphere. In compatible vehicles, Android Auto can be mirrored from a smartphone directly onto the vehicle’s head unit, temporarily replacing the manufacturer’s display while the phone is connected. Android Auto can also be implemented as an aftermarket upgrade to older vehicles via compatible stereo systems.
Full-stack development by inovex
As a broad-based IT service provider with many years of experience, we can provide development support for your product in both the embedded Android environment and “full stack” across all levels.
Beginning in the design and architecture phase, we use our expertise to help you evaluate your approach and ensure that you’re heading in the right direction from the outset. We deploy experts ranging from Linux kernel, system and Android applikation developers to UI/UX designers and Scrum Mastern in order to provide one-stop-shop support for the development and implementation of your projects.
At inovex, we aim to work closely with our customers and their developers on-site. Mixed teams enable us to gain deeper insights into specific fields, to understand their problems, and to develop targeted solutions. During this process, we also focus on helping your employees attain a deeper level of specialised IT knowledge.
In addition to knowledge transfer within projects, we also provide custom-tailored training offerings, and we’ve designed a special Android Automotive training course. This hands-on training course teaches the theory and practice of Android Embedded and Android Automotive and provides instruction in the use of specific development tools, such as Gerrit Code Review. We also provide proven training offerings on Android application development for your developers. Contact us and we’ll find an appropriate training solution for you.
