Linux brings open source into the automotive age

Article title: Linux will bring open source into the automotive age. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

According to Wired, Wind River and Intel have partnered to develop an open-source Linux platform for the automotive industry to provide an efficient information service solution. This is a radical effort, which forces manufacturers to speed up product R & D in an open-source manner, while automakers generally prefer to gradually improve, rather than a one-step revolution.

Analysts believe that an open system allows navigation providers to improve code and software in a public manner, but the effect remains to be observed. Wind River will publish the platform specifications and code on the website of Moblin.org. The manufacturer will work with users on software, code, and debugging programs. The platform is optimized for the Intel Atom processor, which is a new processor designed for embedded devices with low energy consumption and support for on-board multimedia and graphics environments.
