Discover our expertise in developing digital cockpit technologies and HMI design for the automotive industry. The Intellias Automotive Portable Kit showcases the cutting-edge capabilities and in-demand features we can bring to your in-vehicle system. Powered by automotive-grade hardware from our partners, it highlights the excellence of engineering services we provide to our clients and the mobility market.
The Intellias Automotive Portable Kit, or simply IntelliKit, is designed to showcase Intellias capabilities in working with real hardware, developing embedded and middleware software, integrating cloud platforms, and designing breathtaking user interfaces.
Beyond displaying our expertise in automotive HMI solutions, IntelliKit is a statement of our dedication to providing best-in-class services to our partners and clients. This hands-on experience with Intellias demo takes the idea of proof of concept to a new level and speaks for itself.
IntelliKit versatile functionality, flexible architecture, and hardware-agnostic development approach allow Intellias engineers to orchestrate solutions from diverse vendors, leveraging the benefits of the most recent technologies on the market. To date, Intellias has presented two versions of IntelliKit, each powered by a unique set of hardware and tools from our partners. These demo kits are a testament to Intellias expertise in implementing joint solutions, showcasing how a collaborative approach drives the future of mobility.
Our first edition of IntelliKit is powered by the Renesas R-Car H3-based SoC with a Hypervisor-less solution featuring RTOS and Android OS for the Instrument Cluster (IC) and In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) components. The system boot time is just 300 milliseconds thanks to minimal dependence on booting Hypervisor and the Linux kernel. Two operating systems communicate with each other, sharing CAN messages and facilitating Android OS health checks through a virtual channel.
IntelliKit includes a variety of gauges and notifications that display the car’s status, such as speed, acceleration, battery level, and regenerative braking. Users can also try ADAS functions like rear and bird’s-eye view, lane assistance, obstacle, and pedestrian detection. The prototype indicates the state of fog lights, headlights, seatbelts, airbags, ESP, ABS, and engine.
A specially designed infotainment dashboard gives access to the navigation system, TomTom in the current demo, HVAC controls, a multimedia player and radio, the weather forecast, and other features of modern cars. We integrated IntelliKit with the cloud to enable data sharing and in-depth analytics. This demo is designed as a modular system, so each component can be developed and assembled using solutions from different partners.
To establish a high level of connectivity, we developed an additional ECU module which simulates real car signals, including speed, battery charge level, regenerative braking, and switches like high beam, low beam, and turn signals. ECU module is based on the Infineon TriCore TC375 MCU, communicating with IC and IVI systems via the CAN bus interface.
The demo not only showcases our embedded automotive capabilities but extends its functionality with telemetry and connectivity features thanks to integration with a cloud backend. Using the VSS open standard developed by COVESA as a baseline to standardize the data structure, we’ve created an end-to-end solution capable of giving users the feel of cutting-edge technology right at their fingertips.
The latest model of IntelliKit demonstrates all-new digital cockpit and HMI practices using the power of a multicore SoC based on Qualcomm SA8295, a complex cluster with QNX Hypervisor, Android 13 for in-vehicle infotainment, a 3D instrument cluster, and a head-up display running on QNX RTOS. It supports industry-wide communication interfaces like CAN, LIN, and GMSL to ignite innovation in software-defined vehicles for a highly customizable in-vehicle experience that can be upgraded over the vehicle’s lifetime.
With integration of Rightware’s Kanzi One toolchain, IntelliKit showcases a visually captivating digital cockpit that can be updated with unmatched speed and agility. This integration streamlines design and development, making it more efficient while also allowing linking of components and creation of logic for their interaction.
Leveraging the power of the BlackBerry IVY® connected vehicle data platform and its abstraction levels enables simplified and future-proof integration with a wide range of hardware, frameworks, and third-party tools. All updates and improvements can be performed without rewriting core programs or making significant changes in the architecture thanks to IVY functionality.
Both versions of IntelliKit are connected with an ECU module that can simulate multimedia vehicle system elements: volume controls on the steering wheel, next and previous track buttons, and more. The ECU module helps train Intellias engineers in AUTOSAR development, as it is built using AUTOSAR Classic, MICROSAR from Vector.
IntelliKit is created in a way that simplifies integration with services and products from different technology and solution providers to demonstrate how diverse platforms, tools, and software can seamlessly converge into an efficient and operational ecosystem.

overview of IntelliKit demo presentation.
We present IntelliKit functionality with three demo scenarios that display real-life simulations of vehicle conditions: driving, charging, and road accident scenarios. After starting the demo, the scenarios run one by one. You can see changes in speed, direction, movement, and other vehicle conditions on the instrument cluster and navigation. At any moment, we can switch to CAN BUS mode using our ECU module to manually send signals reflecting vehicle behavior.
The driver arrives at the charging station, stops the car, and starts charging it. After the vehicle has been charged, the driver enters the car and starts driving to the destination. After the trip, the driver parks the car, exits the car, and locks it.
The car has discharged while driving, so the driver is looking for the nearest charging station. The driver pulls into the parking spot in reverse, stops the car, exits the car, and plugs in the charger. When charging is finished, the driver is ready to continue the trip.
After noticing the check engine indicator, the driver turns on the hazard lights and pulls over to see what has happened. After determining the engine malfunction, the driver goes to a repair station with the speed limit and hazard lights on.
Intellias Automotive Portable Kit is tangible proof of our dedication to excellence and innovation, spotlighting our team’s commitment and expertise as well as the vital support of our valued partners. With each version of the IntelliKit, we integrate cutting-edge advancements, continuously pushing the boundaries of automotive technology. Together, we’re driving innovation beyond limits and reshaping the future of mobility.
The easily upgradable structure of Intellias Automotive Portable Kit allows us to show a large number of technologies that are in high demand, including Renesas R-Car H3-based SoC, Qualcomm SoC, QNX RTOS, QNX Hypervisor, Blackberry IVY, KANZI One, Android OS in a QNX virtual environment, AWS Cloud binding with Blackberry IVY, and, of course, Infineon TriCore MCU with Vector AUTOSAR Classic. This demo helps our current and new clients to be sure that their projects are in the right hands. And for us as a service company, it’s a brilliant chance to extend internal knowledge and learn innovation in practice.
