It also defines a reference framework implementation for -virtual device emulation, called the “ACRN Device Model”. - -The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running -directly on the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of -IoT and embedded device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap -that currently exists between datacenter hypervisors, and hard -partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN hypervisor architecture partitions -the system into different functional domains, with carefully selected -guest OS sharing optimiztionsfor IoT and embedded devices. - -Automotive use case scenario -**************************** - -A good use case example for the ACRN Hypervisor is in an automotive -scenario. The ACRN hypervisor can be used for building a Software -Defined Cockpit (SDC) or an In-Vehicle Experience (IVE) solution. As a -reference implementation, Project ACRN provides the basis for embedded -hypervisor vendors to build solutions with a reference I/O mediation -solution. - -For example, an automotive SDC system consists of the Instrument Cluster -(IC) system, the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system, and one or more -Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) systems. Each system can run on the same -hardware as isolated Virtual Machines (VM), for overall system safety -considerations. - -An **Instrument Cluster (IC)** system is used to show the driver operational -information about the vehicle, such as: - -* the speed, the fuel level, trip mile and other driving information - of the car; -* projecting heads-up images on the windshield, with alerts for low - fuel or tire pressure; -* showing rear-view camera, and surround-view for parking assistance. - -An **In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI)** system's capabilities can include: - -* navigation systems, radios, and other entertainment systems; -* connection to mobile devices for phone calls, music, and - applications via voice recognition; -* control interaction by gesture recognition or touch. - -A **Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE)** system could run: - -* entertainment system; -* virtual office; -* connection to the front-seat IVI system and mobile devices (cloud - connectivity). -* connection to mobile devices for phone calls, music, and - applications via voice recognition; -* control interaction by gesture recognition or touch - -The ACRN hypervisor supports both Linux* VM and Android* VM as a User -OS, with the User OS managed by the ACRN hypervisor. Developers and OEMs -can use this reference stack to run their own VMs, together with the IC, -IVI, and RSE VMs. The Service OS runs as VM0, (also known as Dom0 in -other hypervisors), and the User OS runs as VM1, (also known as DomU).
