Datasheet COQOS - OpenSynergy

Datasheet COQOS
COQOS is a highly scalable software framework for in-car head units, instrument clusters, connectivity boxes or
driver assistance systems. Its microkernel-based architecture makes it possible to run several separated software
partitions on a single processor. Within such a partition, COQOS supports both AUTOSAR real time automotive
functions and full operating systems like Linux and Android.
Target Automotive ECUs
• Head Unit
• Configurable Instrument
Cluster
• Telematics Unit
• Driver Assistance Systems
Main Features
• Safe partitioning of the
processor
• AUTOSAR 3.1 and 4.0
• Linux, MeeGo and Android
• ARM and Intel® Atom
• Additional security features
Powered by:
Features
• MicroOS designed for safety- and securitycritical
applications, based on the separation
microkernel of SYSGO‘s PikeOS
• AUTOSAR-compliant environment and
tooling allows seamless integration of
AUTOSAR Software Components and Basic
Software Modules
• Modular boot and fast boot technology
ensure quick availability of critical
functionality
• Paravirtualized Linux, MeeGo and
Android guest operating systems makes
the power of open source solutions
available to automotive systems
• Configurable communication bridge (ACF)
between the partitions enables easy and
deterministic communication between the
partitions
• Special drivers make it possible to share
hardware resources (like audio and video)
Benefits
• Realize automotive infotainment systems
using Linux, MeeGo or Android and still
satisfy automotive requirements such as
fast boot and AUTOSAR compliance
• Integrate a standard AUTOSAR environment
with non-AUTOSAR functionality on
a single processor
• Use the partitioning capabilities of the
microOS to satisfy the safety and security
requirements of standards like ISO26262
and IEC15408 (Common Criteria)
• Reduce hardware cost by migrating from
dual-chip solutions to a single highly
integrated system on chip

Supported Target Processor Architectures
• ARM 9
• ARM 11
• ARM Cortex A8
• ARM Cortex A9 Multi-Core
• Intel® Atom
• others
Target Board Support Package

Micro Operating System (µOS)
This small and reliable microkernel ensures
the partitioning of the processor:
• Partitioning of processor resources
(execution time and memory)
• Periphery is only visible from the
partition it is assigned to
• Based on the separation microkernel
of SYSGO‘s PikeOS - proven in avionics
applications with the highest safety
standards
• Certification to standards for safetycriticial
applications such as DO-178B,
IEC61508, EN50128 and ISO26262
AUTOSAR
Support of AUTOSAR Release 3.1 and
AUTOSAR Release 4.0. The AUTOSAR OS,
BSW Scheduler and RTE are closely integrated
with COQOS.
Standard AUTOSAR Basic-Software from
the OEM, third-party software vendors or
OpenSynergy can be easily integrated.
Guest OS (operating system)
COQOS provides support for the following
guest operating systems:
• Linux 2.6.x; 3.x (newer kernel versions
are supported in regular updates)
• Android 2.3; 4.0 (newer versions are
supported in regular updates)
Automotive Communication Framework
COQOS supports the partitioning features
and inter-partition communication mechanisms
of AUTOSAR 4.0 and extends these
with a configurable communication bridge
between the partitions (ACF).
Watchdog
A configurable watchdog (in a separate
partition) can observe the behavior of
specific applications and take action when
the system does not behave correctly.
Fast boot and modular boot
To satisfy the highest requirements on the
fast availability of CAN communication
and specific applications, COQOS includes
a fast boot loader and a modular boot
mechanism, which allows partitions to load
and start sequentially.
Shared Hardware
Many important use cases require the
sharing of a single hardware resource
between partitions: several partitions might
need concurrent (and safe) access to a
single flash device or might need to display
information on a common graphics device
(in windows or overlays). COQOS supports
this on selected hardware.
Development Environment
Development without target hardware
The additional product COQOS-tP allows the
development and deployment of COQOSbased
applications on any system running
Linux or another POSIX Operating System.
In addition, COQOS supports the development
for x86 and ARM target architectures
on the QEMU processor emulator.
Development Tools
All COQOS development tools are built on
Eclipse and ARTOP. The development tools
include AUTOSAR-compliant generators,
configuration tools for the microOS and
tracing and debugging tools.
Development Host Support
COQOS development tools are designed for
use on Linux Ubuntu 12.04.
Other Linux distributions can be supported.
Development on Windows XP, Windows
Vista or Windows 7 is possible via cygwin.
Support
COQOS comes with standard support
and access to updates of the product.
In addition, OpenSynergy’s Professional
Services are available to port COQOS to
your hardware or to help in configuration
or integration tasks.
