How to create applications for Tizen IVI

Recently I saw much information about Tizen IVI, but it seems that Tizen IVI isn't included in the Tizen SDK now, so by now do we have another way to develop software for Tizen IVI?

Tizen IVI should use the same SDK for developing Apps as for Smartphones and Co.

Thanks for your information, are you sure?
TIZEN IVI uses EFL based native applications, and we cannot use the SDK for creating EFL based applications. Use command line and there is no much support for writing applications for TIZEN IVI .

The SDK is for Tizen mobile development. Tizen IVI does not currently have an SDK. You can use the SDK to develop apps for IVI, but you will not be able to take advantage of IVI-specific features in the emulator, etc. Generally, Tizen IVI developers use GBS and other Tizen tools to develop on a Linux system and then copy over the built rpms to a running tizen IVI system. The SDK is useful to start out projects however and we use it to start out web app projects for Tizen IVI. Hope that helps.

Use SDK to develop web app for latest ivi 3.0. It should note the following: 1 Today Tizen 3.0 only supports the 2.1 webruntime API. So it should set required_version="2.1" in config.xml. 2 Use SDK to install web app. Because pkgcmd has error now. So change a preference item install command to wrt-installer. install : /usr/bin/wrt-installer -i %widgetPath uninstall:/usr/bin/wrt-installer -un %packageID 3 1 Install dlogutil to device: 
  zypper install dlogutil
2 Open dlog and reboot ivi 
  dlogctrl set platformlog 1
  reboot

The last item is how to show sdb dlog. SDK use "sdb connect " to connect the ivi device. It should make sure "sdbd" is started in ivi.
Hi yangang, Can you please share the steps to install native EFL applications in tizen ivi 3.0, I had modified the music player application from tizen git, and I want to install them, As you said pkgcmd doesn't seem to work on 3.0, Regards, Prabhu

Hi prabhuram The issue of pkgcmd in ivi 3.0 is fixing. https://bugs.tizen.org/jira/browse/TIVI-1436 . You can add comment here. And the SDK can only change web app install and launch command. For native and platform app, it's hardcoded to pkgcmd, can't be changed. So can't install tpk and rpm package by Tizen SDK now. For more aboue platform application develop, please read here: https://developer.tizen.org/documentation/dev-guide?redirect=https%3A//developer.tizen.org/help/topic/org.tizen.gettingstarted/html/cover_page.htm

Hi Kevron Rees, you said "but you will not be able to take advantage of IVI-specific features in the emulator". What's your blueprint about this? How emulator support ivi-specific features? Such as AMB and Ghostcluster(https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/IVI/IVI_July_29,_3.0-M2-Jul). If emulator support this, AMB as the framework should pre-build in the emulator image. The vehicle information get from a example plugin, not OBD-II plugin. App developers can develop a app like Ghostcluster and test it in emulator. But now it can only use the real devices. Is that right? And for UI Component, How emulator simulate this?

The Tizen IVI team is pleased to announce that Tizen 3.0-M2-Jul for In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) has been released on the 29th of July. This is the July 2013 monthly preview image that builds upon the Tizen 3.0 codebase and our next step towards the 3.0-M2 (EOY2013) and final 3.0 Tizen IVI releases (H2 2014). This image is based on Wayland and includes the Tizen Web RunTime (WRT) in addition to several automotive components and features such as Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile, Automotive Message Broker, Media sharing (DLNA), Policy manager, dual-display and a few sample applications. In addition to our continued effort in adding new features and closing issues that were present in Tizen IVI 3.0-M1, the highlight of this new monthly preview is that we are now providing basic support for running Tizen IVI under VMware® Player. - The Tizen IVI 3.0-M1 release notes are available here: https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/IVI/IVI_July_29,_3.0-M2-Jul - The Tizen IVI 3.0-M1 image is available here: http://download.tizen.org/releases/milestone/tizen/ivi/tizen_20130729.2/images/ivi-release-mbr-i586/ For more information about Tizen for In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI), please go and visit our wiki at: https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/IVI If you are new to Tizen IVI Project and are looking for ways to start contributing, please refer to our "How to Contribute" wiki page at https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/How_to_contribute_to_Tizen_IVI
