Hi Bret, Thanks for your quick response. Our customer is currently working on to come up with Car Head Unit based on Tizen or Android.
We have to consider all possible usecases which Tizen can support where there can be hardware & network dependency. Let me list out some usecase. 1. LTE Connected Car - Controlling Zigbee enabled devices at home through LTE network - Does Tizen support 4G related usecases ? 2. Adaptive / Live Streaming from cloud server over 3G / 4G and accessing SNS inside car 3. RUI & DLNA - Remote User Interface & DLNA inside car - Wi-Fi support 4. Vehicle Diagnostics - OBD II interface 5. ADAS, V2V & V2I 6. MirroLink 1.1 - USB support (HighSpeed) 7. Miracast - Sharing the video in smartphone to rear set infotainment device 8. Seamless switching from LTE to Wi-Fi or viceversa 9. Jazzy application on rear seat entertainment device (for local playback (support for thumbnail extraction), streaming & etc) Considering the above usecase which requires hardware & OS (libraries & device drivers) support, how Tizen is better than Android ? Is Tizen based Head units is viable solution when compared Android based? Regards, Suriya. From: Branch, Brett [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 1:17 AM To: Suriya Mohan S. Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: Tizen IVI capability vs Android Hi Suriya, In what context are you asking the questions? Your first question can't be answered as both Tizen and Android are software projects/products, and both can run on a variety of hardware platforms. Your second question would require a very extensive answer to list all the libraries. External connections are also dependent on the specific hardware platform that the software is being installed on. The above answers aside, to give you a broader answer that might help address some of what you are asking, and since you are asking this on a Tizen list, not an Android one... Tizen is an open source software platform that leverages innovation in adjacent market segments to create unique value. However, Tizen IVI is designed specifically for the automotive market. Tizen IVI includes several components and frameworks specific to automotive applications. Just giving a couple of examples to give you an idea of some of the advantages of Tizen, the automotive message broker (which, given the right hardware gateways and connections can provide access to CAN, etc.) and an HTML5 framework, both specific to Tizen allow HTML5-based applications to access vehicular information. Another example is the policy manager (Murphy) which can be used to create different application policies based on vehicular state, etc. (for example driving vs. parked). To contrast that with Android, some automotive capabilities can be *added* to Android, and in fact some people have done that, but Android doesn't include any as it is essentially a handset OS and Google isn't doing anything automotive specific for support, so the additional automotive capabilities need to be engineered and typically become closed source IP of the implementer. -Brett From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Suriya Mohan S.

How or in what aspects Tizen is better than Android in Car Head Unit ? In terms of the following. 1. Hardware specifications (CPU, Memory, Storage, Graphics Chip, communications modudes (GPS, WiFi, 3G/4G, DSRC etc.) 2. Software libraries used to perform the different functions on the head units 3. The types of external connections available (e.g. USB, CAN, ODBII, HDMI, Audio etc) Regards, Suriya. =============================================================================== Please refer to http://www.aricent.com/legal/email_disclaimer.html for important disclosures regarding this electronic communication. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Please refer to http://www.aricent.com/legal/email_disclaimer.html for important disclosures regarding this electronic communication. ===============================================================================
