In Vehicle Infotainment Demonstrator

Abstract

In modern cars the information systems have increased in the last decade. To handle this information flow to the driver a stable and intuitive computer system is needed. These systems are currently built on purpose specific hardware running purpose specific software, which is quite expensive to develop. This thesis describes a project where a multipurpose computer on module running a Linux distribution can act as an infotainment demonstrator. The report details how such demonstrator can be built and programmed to receive communication packages via a CAN bus.
