OpenGMSL™ Association Releases Specification v3.0, Enabling Interoperable GMSL2/3 Ecosystem

Beaverton, OR — March 6, 2026 — The OpenGMSL Association today announced the official release of the OpenGMSL specification v3.0, a major milestone in the advancement of open, interoperable high-speed video and data connectivity for automotive and embedded vision applications.

OpenGMSL specification v3.0 leverages Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI)’s  GMSL™2 and GMSL™3 technologies, providing a comprehensive, implementation-ready specification that enables multi-vendor interoperability while preserving compatibility with proven GMSL™ technology already deployed at large scale across the automotive industry.

The draft OpenGMSL specification v3.0 was made available to Promoter and Contributor class members in October 2025 for early evaluation and implementation, followed by refinement to meet OpenGMSL’s standards for technical rigor and practical implementation. This effort culminated in the official OpenGMSL specification v3.0 release.

Early implementations have already demonstrated the effectiveness of the specification. Within just three months of gaining access to the OpenGMSL v3.0 specifications, Velinktech successfully implemented a serializer on an FPGA platform and demonstrated video running over an OpenGMSL link connected to an ADI deserializer.

This achievement, which was demonstrated at CES 2026, provides tangible validation of the clarity and practicality of the specification and reinforces confidence for other silicon providers, OEMs, and Tier-1 suppliers evaluating OpenGMSL.

“The release of OpenGMSL specification v3.0 represents an important step forward for the ecosystem,” said Paul Fernando, President of the OpenGMSL Association. “It reflects both the technical rigor of the specification and the strong collaboration across our membership. By delivering an open, implementation-ready specification equivalent to GMSL2 and GMSL3, OpenGMSL enables faster development cycles, reduced integration risk, and true multi-vendor interoperability.”

OpenGMSL specification v3.0 is immediately available to all OpenGMSL members and is supported by a growing ecosystem of silicon, system, test, and validation solutions. The Association continues to expand compliance, interoperability, and ecosystem initiatives to support further adoption across automotive and adjacent markets.
