Key Discussion Points
Introductions and Updates:
New attendees introduced themselves, including Mujdat Soyturk from Marmara University, who shared insights about his research lab's focus on connected cars, V2X communication, and software-defined vehicles.
Unified HMI and GRPC Integration:
Unified HMI Capabilities:
Static application layers across multiple displays.
Mirroring applications on multiple displays.
Current support for Wayland Ivi-shell; GRPC integration is in progress.
Demo Scenarios:
Two proposed demo scenarios:
Switching between multiple layout patterns using buttons.
Dynamically launching applications on selected displays.
GRPC integration is critical for advanced demos.
Development Needs:
GRPC integration for AGL compositor is a priority.
Additional application development and interface work required for demos.
GRPC and Wayland Ivi-Shell Discussion:
Marius Vlad raised questions about whether to fully migrate to GRPC or maintain compatibility with Wayland Ivi-shell.
Consensus: GRPC integration is the priority, but Wayland Ivi-shell support should remain for flexibility.
Marius requested a state diagram to better understand the architecture and interactions between components like ULA, ULA Node, and Unified HMI.
Application Development:
Panasonic will provide navigation and turn-by-turn applications.
Additional development (e.g., buttons for layout switching) will require collaboration with AGL developers.
Demo Preparation Timeline:
The proposed demos are not targeted for Embedded World due to time constraints.
Focus will be on preparing for the next AGL All Member Meeting (AMM) in Berlin.
RFC and Community Feedback:
Michele Paolino provided updates on the RFC for loopback features:
Security concerns raised by the community have been addressed.
Next steps include pushing updates to the AGL repository and continuing discussions with the community.
Miscellaneous:
Discussion on hardware requirements for demos (e.g., number of boards and outputs).
Marius Vlad highlighted the need to reuse existing code for GRPC integration to save time.
Action Items
Kenta Murakami (PAS):
Upload slides to the conference page and attach the state diagram to the Jira ticket for GRPC integration.
Provide additional details or clarifications on Unified HMI architecture as requested by Marius Vlad.
Marius Vlad:
Continue prototyping GRPC integration and provide feedback on missing information or challenges.
Walt Miner:
Finalize the schedule for upcoming events and ensure alignment on demo preparation timelines.
Michele Paolino (VOSYS):
Push updates to the AGL repository regarding loopback RFC and security improvements.
All Participants:
Prepare for the next AGL All Member Meeting in Berlin, with a focus on showcasing Unified HMI demos.
