The Qt Company and Green Hills Showcase Significant Advancements in Integrated Automotive HMI Platforms
January 10 2018 - 09:00AM
The Qt Company (Helsinki:QTCOM) and Green Hills Software
today announced a collaboration to deliver the latest in human
machine interface (HMI) development platforms for integrated
automotive digital cockpits, focused on production deployment. Qt
and Green Hills will showcase the revolutionary HMI platform at CES
2018, taking place in Las Vegas from January 9-12, 2018.
The automotive digital cockpit encompasses the
majority of the HMI systems in today’s connected vehicles
consisting of disparate systems of different safety levels.
Furthermore, due to safety requirements, instrument clusters use
operating systems built to higher standards of safety and security
than those used in general in-vehicle infotainment systems. These
different safety level requirements combined with the use of
different operating systems makes it difficult for developers to
create a unified cockpit experience.
To tackle this challenge, Qt has integrated its
cross-platform Qt Automotive Suite framework with Green Hills safe
and secure INTEGRITY Multivisor virtualization offering to enable
the integration of disparate HMI interfaces across multiple
operating systems at different safety levels into a single
multi-core system while complying with the highest levels of
automotive safety standards.
Green Hills INTEGRITY Real-Time Operating System
(RTOS) is the gold standard run-time foundation for safety/security
critical software in industrial, avionics, medical, automotive and
railway. As an optional RTOS service, the INTEGRITY Multivisor™
secure virtualization extension safely runs high level operating
systems such as Linux and Android alongside real-time critical
applications requiring safety and security, assuring freedom from
interference with native speed performance and safe, secure
inter-process communication.
The Green Hills INTEGRITY RTOS, when combined
with the Qt Safe Renderer, enables ISO 26262 certification for
important safety critical display elements. Additionally, the Qt
Safe Renderer, as part of the Qt Automotive Suite, enables
designers and software engineers to use a single user interface
(UI) toolkit to design, build and test digital cockpits across all
HMI needs, independent of safety requirements, for a consistent
user experience. Qt is the leading framework to enable developers
to build both instrument clusters and center stacks with a single
toolkit. Advances in processing power, together with mature safe,
secure hypervisor technology result in significant cost savings
without compromising safety when integrated into a single system on
a single multi-core automotive SoC using this combination.
“Green Hills has deployed millions of ASIL
certified digital clusters in the automotive industry based on its
safe and secure ASIL certified INTEGRITY RTOS," said Dan Mender,
Vice President, Business Development, at Green Hills Software. "The
Multivisor secure virtualization service for INTEGRITY is the
proven foundation required for production-ready mixed criticality
consolidation in next generation software defined automotive
cockpits. Our collaboration with Qt addresses the HMI tools needed
to build digital cockpits that not only comply with safety
standards, but also seamlessly meet and exceed driver expectations
while on the road.”
“Our collaboration with Green Hills Software
addresses the challenges that come with the growing number of
connected screens, ECU’s and devices built into our vehicles
today,” said Juhapekka Niemi, Executive Vice President, Sales and
Business Development, The Qt Company. “By allowing developers to
build and test their applications in a desktop environment before
deploying to INTEGRITY-enabled embedded devices, Qt enables rapid
development of consolidated digital cockpit HMI systems of
different safety levels integrated into a single system, resulting
in shorter development cycles and reduced cost without compromising
safety.”
During CES, the companies' integrated platform
will be displayed in The Qt Company’s suite, located at the
Westgate Hotel, Tech East, Suite 2010. The concept cockpit demo,
built with the Qt Automotive Suite, demonstrates interdomain
graphics and data sharing. The Qt Automotive Suite is jointly
developed by The Qt Company, KDAB and Luxoft (NYSE:LXFT).
