2Q-Solution
Orlando, FL — December 11, 2025 — The DiSTI Corporation, a global leader in graphical user interface solutions for embedded safety-critical systems, has partnered with Ottawa Infotainment (OI), a provider of advanced digital cockpit and infotainment technologies, to unveil a collaborative demonstration. The showcase highlights next-generation Human-Machine Interface (HMI) safety and performance capabilities for Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs), reflecting the combined strengths of both organizations in supporting the future of automotive development.
Advancing HMI Safety and Performance for Software Defined Vehicles
The combined use of GL Studio, the Toradex Verdin platform powered by the NXP i.MX95 processor, and the DragonFire framework operating on QNX’s automotive software stack provides automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers with a strong foundation for modern vehicle cockpit development. This configuration delivers high-performance graphics, real-time responsiveness, and support for ISO 26262 functional safety—key requirements for next-generation automotive interfaces.
The demonstration further reflects how teams can transition smoothly between desktop and embedded workflows using GL Studio while preserving design integrity and meeting safety certification needs. By bringing together production-proven HMI technology with a robust processing platform and an adaptable automotive framework, the collaboration supports a more efficient path from initial concept to production.
Accelerating Automotive Development Through Unified Workflows
As automotive programs continue adopting advanced technologies to enhance development efficiency and manage rising costs, solutions that support unified workflows have become increasingly important. The demonstration highlights how aligned toolchains enable teams to create impactful digital user experiences and work effectively across desktop and embedded environments. With GL Studio®, this transition is supported through a flexible and rapid user interface development process that maintains performance, fidelity, and reliability while preserving design integrity. These capabilities extend seamlessly into HMI development training, ensuring consistency between development and training environments and supporting safety certification requirements throughout the product lifecycle.
The solution brings together:
- DiSTI’s production-proven HMI technology
- The DragonFire framework
- The processing performance of the NXP i.MX95 on the Toradex platform
This configuration supports a more streamlined progression from concept to production and extends to a range of automotive software components as supported by DragonFire.
DragonFire includes:
- TeleCANesis, a lightweight communication layer designed for smooth interaction with vehicle systems
- Deterministic behavior under QNX’s automotive-grade operating system
- A modular structure enabling ASIL-B compliant integration with GL Studio’s rendering engine
- Support for high-performance graphics with low-latency CAN bus communication
- Support for over-the-air firmware updates and scalable deployment using NXP i.MX95 hardware
Building on these capabilities, the release features a full digital instrument cluster and infotainment interface developed with GL Studio, demonstrating how content created within the tool can transition smoothly between desktop simulation and embedded deployment. This reflects a workflow designed for scalability and efficiency, supporting development teams as they work toward shorter timelines and streamlined delivery for next-generation automotive applications.
