As I stated in my initial mail, my hope is that the Community will support Tizen Common on a few more open platform than the ODroid and that the IVI industrials will propose a more "professional" platform (similar to the VTV1010 for IA) for ARM. I feel that neither the Odroid nor the Allwinner will be much relevant to the IVI industry except as initial port example for ARM architecture. > > Is it possible to hook up automotive specific networks?

Best would be that the IVI working group define their reference architecture for ARM in Tizen IVI project and start to push and maintiain the patches required to work on that reference platform. If the chipset is similar to the one used in Tizen Common, work will be facilitated. It will need to be possible for most IVI developer to purchase that reference ARM platform otherwise development will be staled quickly by lack of validation option. > > IVI is still part of the automotive domain and while it can share a > significant amount of software with other domains, there are still > some automotive specific requirements that IVI has to fulfil.

Once again the initial goal with the Odroid of supporting hacker platforms in Tizen Common, is to ease the integration and testing work for the developers, not to provide a solution for IVI specific needs.
