OpenSynergy, through its membership in the GENIVI Alliance,
ensures that the interfaces on the reference platform meet the
automotive requirements. Pelagicore is the first company to integrate
the GENIVI compliant infotainment framework with COQOS into one
head unit, with further third-party supplier software to be added.
Pelagicore originates from the company Mocean that is active in
the audio/video processing market segment, developing solutions

GENIVI Alliance
The GENIVI (pronounced gen-ee-vee) Alliance was officially
launched in March, 2009. It is described as a “non-profit
industry alliance committed to driving the broad adoption of
an In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) reference platform. GENIVI will
accomplish this by aligning requirements, delivering reference
implementations, offering certification programs and fostering
a vibrant open source IVI community.”
The launch of the association is said to herald “a new
era of cooperation among automakers, suppliers and
technology providers in the interest of streamlining the
development and support of In-Vehicle Infotainment or IVI
products and services.”
Its objective is to reduce development cycles, speed

distribution of In-Vehicle Infotainment-Software.
Together with Pelagicore, the GENIVI partners intend to
further develop this shared platform to enable its architecture
to be scaled across infotainment devices of different sizes
in a robust manner. This flexibility opens the market for
smaller software providers and offers greater flexibility to the
manufacturers, permitting them to focus on various topics.
up time-to-market, and contain costs for companies
developing IVI equipment and software.
IVI is a rapidly growing and evolving field that encompasses
automotive infotainment products and services including
music, news, Internet and multimedia, navigation and
location, and telephony. Automobile manufacturers and their
suppliers must develop, test, deploy and support these IVI
products and services across multiple automobile models
and generations, which is becoming increasingly complex
and expensive as the rate of innovation and number of
applications continues to expand exponentially.
GENIVI is leading the way forward by developing
a reusable, open source IVI platform, according to the alliance.
