COQOS
Integrating Linux or Android and AUTOSAR.
What is COQOS?
COQOS is a scalable framework for automotive ECU's. COQOS makes it possible to take full advantage of Linux or Android and still satisfy typical automotive requirements. With COQOS, Linux and real-time applications (such as AUTOSAR based applications) can run safely together on a shared hardware unit.
Technical concept:
COQOS contains a micro-operating-system that runs directly on the hardware. The µOS ensures that Linux and other applications can run safely on the shared hardware. COQOS contains a para-virtualized Linux Kernel, which has been optimized for the µOS.

What does COQOS offer?
COQOS was conceived with the following goals:
- Make it possible to take advantage of common Linux-based solutions (including GenIVI
and Android) - Provide an entire AUTOSAR framework allowing reuse of AUTOSAR Basic-Software and AUTOSAR Applications
- Facilitate the communication between Linux applications and AUTOSAR Software-Components
- Supports Intel® Atom™ and ARM® processors
Benefits:
- Early applications (such as rear-view camera or park-distance control) can run long before Linux or Android has started
- Real-Time applications can run directly on COQOS and are not affected by Linux. This makes it for example possible to run driver assistance systems directly on the head-unit without the need for additional hardware
- COQOS is an additional firewall between Linux and the car networks
