The demands placed on modern automotive systems, from ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to infotainment and autonomous driving, are growing rapidly. ADAS vision systems rely heavily on high-quality video data to make critical, real-time decisions that improve driver safety and reduce accidents. Meanwhile, touchscreen infotainment systems require high-speed, low-latency connectivity to deliver a seamless and immersive user experience. These factors are increasing the development costs of new vehicles, complicating integration, hindering innovation, and ultimately slowing progress in safety.
Introducing the OpenGMSL Standard:
With the launch of the OpenGMSL Association, participation in a global standard enables innovation in autonomous driving, ADAS, and infotainment, among other applications. This allows OEMs and suppliers to accelerate time to market by using solutions that work seamlessly together, reducing operating costs.
The OpenGMSL standard is based on ADI's Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) technology. Paul Fernando, President of the OpenGMSL Association, stated: “With over one billion GMSL ICs sold and adoption by more than 25 OEMs and 50 Tier 1 suppliers worldwide, GMSL is one of the most mature and road-proven high-speed video link technologies in the automotive industry. OpenGMSL builds on this solid foundation to accelerate innovation in autonomous driving, ADAS, and next-generation infotainment, growing an already thriving ecosystem toward an open and collaborative future.”
The OpenGMSL Association is a non-profit organization with its own independent board of directors and encourages global participation. Products developed using the standard must undergo mandatory conformance testing to ensure seamless interoperability between different vendors.
“ As a leading provider of precision sensors, edge processing, software, and robust connectivity to the automotive industry, ADI is dedicated to better positioning our OEMs to drive innovation for their customers and alleviate the burden of complexity. We are very proud of our industry-leading GMSL technology and look forward to collaborating with other association members on an industry standard that will strengthen the entire ecosystem.” – Yasmine King, Corporate Vice President and Head of ADI’s Automotive Business Unit
. “Our company has been using GMSL technology in our vehicles for many years. We are very pleased that Analog Devices Inc. has taken the initiative to standardize GMSL by creating the OpenGMSL Association.” – HH Lee, Head of R&D at Hyundai Mobis.
