Automotive Services
Leverage a comprehensive automotive software services portfolio — from platform maintenance and application development to SDV enablement and validation.
Leverage Our Expertise
OEMs face mounting pressure to ship software-defined vehicles while managing platform complexity, ongoing security threats, and aggressive production timelines. Wind River's global engineering footprint, solution accelerators, and at-scale delivery processes help OEMs move faster without sacrificing quality.
Linux Platform Maintenance
Unpatched vulnerabilities and aging kernels put production Linux at risk. Staying ahead of CVEs requires sustained effort and resources that many OEMs and suppliers cannot manage alone. Wind River keeps your systems secure and production-ready with proactive CVE patching, kernel updates, and legacy support designed to minimize your internal maintenance burden.
Service highlights:
- Upstream CVE monitoring and analysis.
- Platform-specific relevance and impact evaluation.
- Quarterly backporting and fix integration.
- Accelerated releases for critical threats.
Android Platform Maintenance
BSP and security updates for automotive Android are often complex, resource-intensive, and prone to integration conflicts. Offload your BSP support, security patching, and compliance testing to our specialized experts to enable faster deployment and reduced risk.
Service highlights:
- BSP release integration (kernel, HALs, firmware, bootloader).
- Prioritized security and stability updates with risk analysis.
- Android compliance testing (CTS/VTS) plus regression and integration tests.
Android Application Updates
OEMs are facing growing consumer pressure for modern in-vehicle applications. Outdated apps damage brand identity, while frequent updates risk breaking performance and compliance. Wind River keeps your in-vehicle apps fresh secure, and up to date.
Service highlights:
- BSP release integration (kernel, HALs, firmware, bootloader).
- Prioritized security and stability updates with risk analysis.
- Android compliance testing (CTS/VTS) plus regression and integration tests.
New Android IVI Applications
Developing branded applications with deep vehicle integration that differentiates a cabin requires specialized engineering effort. Wind River partners with you to design and develop production-ready Android IVI applications, from early requirements to long term deployment.
Service highlights:
- Detailed requirements analysis (infotainment, connectivity, safety, HMI).
- Leveraging modular, scalable architectures for AAOS and custom platforms.
- Securely build, validate and deploy production-ready apps.
Auto Software Performance Optimization
From IVI responsiveness to boot times and connectivity, a lagging software stack directly impacts user satisfaction, reliability, and brand perception. Wind River optimizes system performance across automotive platforms through targeted profiling, containerization, and network-level tuning.
Service highlights:
- Optimized Linux boot time, kernel config, middleware, and Android performance.
- Containerized workload isolation and dynamic resource allocation.
- Diagnostics, system profiling, and network/connectivity optimization.
SDV and Roadmap Acceleration
OEMs are increasingly seeking to maximize software reuse, maintain hardware independence and reduce total lifecycle costs in their journey to SDVs. Through our partnership with Aptiv, we accelerate SDV development with portable middleware, flexible architectures, and migration services.
Service highlights:
- Domain-specific proof-of-concept development.
- Middleware porting to new SoCs and operating systems.
- Software-hardware decoupling.
- legacy system migration to modern SDV architecture.
Synthetic Cockpit Data Service
Physical data collection for in-vehicle monitoring validation is slow, expensive, and hard to scale. Through our partnership with Aptiv, we generate privacy-safe synthetic cockpit data that captures real-world complexity and edge cases — accelerating ML model validation at a fraction of the cost.
Service highlights:
- Custom datasets from manufacturer vehicle CAD data.
- Iterative synthetic data generation using specialized tooling.
- Camera positioning and algorithm evaluation studies.
- Pre-certification for camera-based occupant detection.
