Final Report PRE-DRIVE C2X 29.9.2010
To give a short description of the hardware architecture, two car computers are
being used: One based on Linux, where the connection to the car bus system and a
GPS device has been implemented and one based on Windows XP, where the
remaining implementation code lies. Moreover, a third computer is being used to
control the two separate displays. Connection to the environment is being
established via a NEC Link Bird. Finally, a GPS device offers access to the GPS
signal.
