Minutes
Key Discussion Point
AMD Embedded Boards:
Yuichi Kusakabe raised questions about AMD embedded evaluation boards and their compatibility with open-source communities.
Walt Miner mentioned discussing this with AMD at the upcoming Embedded World event.
Jira Ticket Review:
Participants reviewed open Jira tickets and discussed their statuses.
Some tickets were marked as resolved or inactive due to lack of ongoing work.
Permissions for resolving tickets were identified as an issue for some attendees, which Walt Miner will address.
Unified Topics and AMM (All Members Meeting):
Discussions on unified usage topics and their inclusion in the AMM agenda.
Jerry suggested skipping certain topics during the face-to-face workshop due to Murakami-san's absence.
Bluetooth Contributions:
Jerry highlighted the potential for contributions to Bluetooth profiles (e.g., HFP, messaging) in AGL (Automotive Grade Linux).
This would enhance AGL's capabilities and showcase its features to customers.
SDV Reference Platform:
Discussions on the SDV (Software Defined Vehicle) reference platform and its integration with existing AGL features.
Jerry emphasized the importance of consolidating AGL features into the SDV platform to align with community goals.
Honda expressed interest in contributing a Zephyr RTOS implementation to AGL, which will be further discussed at the next face-to-face meeting.
Virtualization and Hypervisor Architectures:
Michele Paolino presented proposals for virtualization architectures using KVM and Xen hypervisors.
Key points included:
Running containers for instrument clusters and IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment) alongside a real-time OS in a virtual machine.
Challenges with GPU virtualization in Xen.
Alternative architectures using Cortex-R processors and OpenAMP for communication between domains.
The group agreed to further discuss these options during the face-to-face meeting.
ARM and Intel Engagement:
Discussions on re-engaging ARM and Intel with AGL.
ARM's potential rejoining of AGL was discussed, with meetings planned at Embedded World.
Intel's interest in AGL was noted, though their current state was described as challenging.
