Set up by an automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Tier 1 suppliers, semiconductor manufacturers and ecosystem partners it looks to address the demands of modern automotive systems - from ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to infotainment and autonomous driving.
ADAS vision systems rely on high-quality video data to make critical, real-time decisions that improve driver safety and reduce accidents, while touchscreen infotainment systems demand high-speed, low-latency connectivity to deliver seamless, immersive user experiences.
These factors are driving up development costs for new vehicles, complicating integration, stifling innovation, and ultimately slowing advancements in safety.
With the launch of OpenGMSL Association, participation in a worldwide standard will allow for innovation in autonomous driving, ADAS, and infotainment, among other applications. OEMs and suppliers will be able to accelerate time to market using solutions that operate efficiently together, and which will help to lower operational costs.
The OpenGMSL standard is based on ADI’s Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) technology.
“As a leading provider of precision sensing, edge processing, software and robust connectivity in the automotive industry, ADI is dedicated to better positioning our automotive OEMs to drive innovation for their customers while easing the burden of complexity and we are eager to collaborate with our fellow association members on an industry standard that will strengthen the entire ecosystem,” said Yasmine King, Corporate Vice President and Head of the Automotive Business Unit, ADI.
“With over 1 billion GMSL ICs shipped and adoption by more than 25 global OEMs and 50 Tier-1 suppliers, GMSL is one of the most mature and road-proven high-speed video link technologies in the automotive industry,” added Paul Fernando, President of the OpenGMSL Association.
“OpenGMSL builds on this strong foundation to accelerate innovation across autonomous driving, ADAS, and next-gen infotainment, growing an already thriving ecosystem into an open, collaborative future.”
The OpenGMSL Association is a non-profit entity with its own independent board of directors and is encouraging global participation. Products developed using the standard will require mandatory compliance testing to ensure seamless, multi-vendor interoperability.
