Use Case Example
Web browser for in-vehicle infotainment head-unit
WHAT
A major OEM wanted to bring a web browser to a head unit while using a highly specialized operating system for security reasons. Integrating the OS web browser with in-car audio and video systems was the challenge.
HOW
With JamaicaCAR running on the specialized operating system, it only took little time to integrate the browser in such a way that it could address the audio and video systems in the vehicle.
VALUE
In addition to providing a robust solution, JamaicaCAR now allows for OTA updates to the head unit, further enhancing the user experience after delivery.

JamaicaAMS Capabilities
JamaicaCAR SDK
The Solution Within the aicas Ecosystem
JamaicaCAR is an automotive-specific extension of the JamaicaAMS microservice framework, which is based on JamaicaVM.
JamaicaVM’s Java realtime runtime environment and software development kit are specifically tailored for embedded systems. This provides JamaicaAMS with platform independence and realtime capabilities. In the cloud, the aicas Edge Data Gateway (EDP) supports the development process of JamaicaAMS bundles, manages them in a repository, provides testing capabilities, and enables release and deployment to devices running JamaicaAMS. When JamaicaCAR is used in conjunction with the Edge Data Gateway (EDG), data from JamaicaAMS or JamaicaVM devices can be collected and linked for processing, visualization, and analysis.
