OpenSynergy Setting Standards Update for Blue SDK reference platform released Berlin, 25 June 2014 – CE4A (Consumer Electronics for Automotive), a working group of automobile manufacturers promoting the standardization of mobile device interfaces, now uses the latest version of OpenSynergy Blue SDK (v4.3) for the CE4A Bluetooth Reference Platform. This reference platform integrates Blue SDK with automotive-relevant profiles (HFP, MAP, PBAP, A2DP/AVRCP, etc.). And recently a new release for OpenSynergy’s Blue SDK has become available. Thanks to the new update, it is now possible to display the album cover of the current track and download and browse calendar entries, to-do lists, and notes. In addition, support for missed calls has been improved. CE4A has adopted all new features provided by the update. Since 2009, device manufacturers have been able to use the reference platform to test the Bluetooth features in their products, ensuring their conformity with the automotive industry requirements. The integrated Bluetooth stack with its wide range of features and the profiles with all mandatory and optional features of the Bluetooth specification enable manufacturers to implement each of the many test scenarios that they require to be able to install Bluetooth applications in car kits and infotainment systems. To do so, CE4A uses the Hands-free (HFP), Phone Book Access (PBAP), Message Access (MAP), Audio Video Remote Control (AVRCP), SIM Access (SAP), and Personal Area Networking (PAN) profiles. The new release also includes updates to other profiles, as well as adds new ones: AudioVideo SDK v3.0 – with AVRCP 1.6 and support for AVRCP Cover Art, enabling users to browse and display metadata, such as the album cover of the current track. CTN SDK 1.0 – implementation of the Bluetooth calendar, tasks, notes profile for v1.0, enabling users to download and browse calendar entries, to-do lists, and notes. Now the corresponding smartphone features will be available in Bluetooth-enabled vehicles as well. PBAP SDK v2.0 – provides support for the latest upgrades to the PBAP 1.2 specification and vCard features for filtering and improves support for missed calls. MAP SDK v2.0 – provides support for the latest upgrades to the MAP 1.2 specification. Octavian Tirla, head of the Expert Group on Reference Platform at CE4A, points out: “CE4A makes it possible for vehicles of the future to be compatible with, and enjoy, these new features of consumer electronics devices, too. Mobile device and automobile manufacturers will thus be able to ensure that smartphones and other devices can readily interact with the technology in vehicles, as, at the end of the day, drivers are customers of both industries. Furthermore, these manufacturers can offer their customers state-of-the-art technology and the latest use cases.” PRESS RELEASE About OpenSynergy OpenSynergy is a specialist for embedded automotive systems and provides a standards-based software platform called COQOS.
