Building a New Software architecture
Unikie has been working with a global Tier-1 to validate and benchmark a new SW architecture planned for single-SOC hardware platform. The target platform has a software architecture that implements automotive grade safe OS instance for conventional instrument cluster and non-safe OS instance for Android Automotive based Infotainment on single SoC by installing Guest Linux on QNX Hypervisor.
The Tier-1 selected to partner with Unikie due to our deep expertise to provide architecture design concerns, performance benchmark and virtualized solution implementation alternatives related to efficient implementation of the new software architecture.
Competence used
- Experience of widely used automotive SOC options (Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Intel, NXP)
- Experience in QNX Hypervisor and virtualized Automotive HMI stack
- Android Automotive framework and applications
- Special knowledge in audio, imaging/camera, graphics, and parallel compute performance optimization in kernel and driver level
- Benchmarking between Android OS Automotive and Smartphone/Tablet profiles – from architecture, functionality, security, performance, and user experience perspectives
Building a New Software architecture
In a collaborative effort to meet the client’s needs, Unikie embarked on a comprehensive investigation and research process, resulting in valuable design recommendations tailored for the target SOC platform.
Embracing an agile working model, Unikie’s engineers, based across our locations in Finland and Poland, navigated a 7-hour time difference with the client’s engineering team to ensure seamless communication and project alignment. The sprint-based delivery model facilitated a structured and efficient workflow, allowing the team of senior software engineers to deliver high-quality results in a timely manner.
In addition to delivering high-quality work, our collaboration provided significant findings:
