OpenGMSL Association formed to revolutionise future of in-vehicle connectivity

The OpenGMSL Association is an initiative bringing together industry leaders to revolutionise the future of in-vehicle connectivity.

The demands of modern automotive systems, from ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to infotainment and autonomous driving, are growing rapidly. ADAS vision systems heavily rely on high-quality video data to make critical, real-time decisions that improve driver safety and reduce accidents. Meanwhile, touchscreen infotainment systems demand high-speed, low-latency connectivity to deliver seamless, immersive user experiences. These factors are driving up development costs for new vehicles, complicating integration, stifling innovation, and ultimately slowing advancements in safety.

With the launch of the association, participation on a worldwide standard allows for innovation in autonomous driving, ADAS, and infotainment, among other applications. OEMs and suppliers can thereby accelerate time to market using solutions that operate efficiently together, thus lowering operational costs.

OpenGMSL’s standard is based on Analog Devices’ industry-leading, road-proven Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) technology.

Paul Fernando, president of the OpenGMSL Association, shared, “With over one billion GMSL integrated circuits shipped and adoption by more than 25 global OEMs and 50 tier 1 suppliers, GMSL is one of the most mature and road-proven high-speed video link technologies in the automotive industry. OpenGMSL builds on this strong foundation to accelerate innovation across autonomous driving, ADAS, and next-gen infotainment, growing an already thriving ecosystem into an open, collaborative future.”

Yasmine King, corporate vice president and head of the automotive business unit at Analog Devices, said, "As a leading provider of precision sensing, edge processing, software and robust connectivity in the automotive industry, ADI is dedicated to better positioning our automotive OEMs to drive innovation for their customers while easing the burden of complexity. We are incredibly proud of our industry-leading GMSL technology and are eager to collaborate with our fellow association members on an industry standard that will strengthen the entire ecosystem.”

The OpenGMSL Association is a non-profit entity with its own independent board of directors and encourages global participation. Products developed using the standard will require mandatory compliance testing to ensure seamless, multivendor interoperability.

Analog Devices teams up with VinFast on EV solutions Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global semiconductor leader, and VinFast, a leading Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, have announced their partnership aimed at advancing Battery Management System (BMS) solutions for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS).
