Shared Components
To improve users' experience when they combine drivers and other software from various
vendors, it is important to have some key software components common to all implementations.
In order to accomplish this, the IVI Foundation provides a standard set of shared
components that must be used by all compliant drivers and ancillary software. These
components provide services to drivers and driver clients that need to be common
to all drivers, for instance, the administration of system-wide configuration.
Generally, these components are provided to end customers along with IVI drivers
and other software tools they acquire from various vendors. Customers acquiring
the IVI Shared Components this way generally receive support directly from those
vendors. The components are also available via the links below, however no customer
support is provided by the IVI Foundation.
