Why It's Different
Most in-vehicle software stacks are stitched together from dozens of vendors, creating fragile systems with limited flexibility. DragonFire OS was designed from the ground up as a vertically integrated software architecture:
- One unified codebase for cockpit, telematics, and connected features
- Hardware-agnostic: runs across Spark, Pro, and Ultra
- Rapid customization for branding, UX, and features
- Deep cloud integration for fleet analytics, OTA updates, and predictive diagnostics
- Pre-validated middleware: reduces development cycles from years to months
With DragonFire OS, OEMs finally control the software roadmap — not their suppliers.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Who is DragonFire OS designed for?
OEMs and Tier 1s who want full-stack control of their cockpit, telematics, and ADAS systems...without reinventing the wheel.
How does DragonFire OS speed up development?
With pre-validated middleware, integrated stacks, and OEM-friendly SDKs, full system integration can happen in months — not the 3–5 year cycles common with legacy platforms.
Is DragonFire OS hardware-locked?
No. DragonFire OS runs across all Ottawa Infotainment hardware (Spark, Pro, Ultra) and can be adapted to other supported chipsets and reference hardware.
How does DragonFire OS handle OTA updates?
Full-stack OTA/FOTA capabilities are built-in — including safe rollback, delta updates, and cloud-based version control across the fleet.
Can DragonFire OS support both low-cost and high-end vehicle lines?
Yes. DragonFire OS scales from entry-level displays and clusters to full autonomy-grade domain controllers — using the same codebase, reducing complexity across the lineup.
