This Extended View System (EVS) 1.1 Integration Guide describes changes made
since the previous Android release.
Android contains the HIDL Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), which provides for
imagery capture, is displayed early in the Android boot process, and continues
to function for the life of the system. The HAL includes the Extended View
System (EVS) stack, which is used to support rearview and surround view
displays in vehicles with Android-based In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI)
systems.
