2023 Roadmap

Feature List

By 22 Feb 2023 (AB meeting in 07 Mar 2023)
Virtualization on 15 Feb 2023
Containerziation on 01 Mar 2023

Top Level Features:

Feature 1: Define the requirements and use cases of Software-defined Vehicle with AGL, focusing on the environment parity (including both application-level and operating-system-level)

Persona
→ define users/developers/testers/... (user journey)
→ infotainment/telematics
Define the meaning of "Workload" and "Workload Orchestration"
- single SoC workload orchestration
- multi-SoC (zonal architecture) workload orchestration
- from vehicle to cloud (bi-directional)

Feature 2: Implement PoC with step-by-step MVPs containing key enabling technologies (Device Virtualization, Workload Orchestration and etc) for SDV to fulfill the requirements and use cases defined.

Define the requirements of AGL for Software-defined Vehicle
- Virtualization (hypervisor, device virtualization "VirtIO)
- Conternization (application container and orchestration)
- Cloud-native
Clearly define the use case that the group as a whole has consesus and develop a prototype that community members can work together (link with IC, IVI-EG): A pure OSS solution using both virtualization and conternization
- Question: How to meet the "ready to product" requirement
- See any thing that Virtualization&Container can facilitate Flutter Application Bernard Craddock
- Check if any one from BMW would like to share some opinions on the usage of container Walt Miner , Nedeljko Miljevic (Deactivated)
- Some hints and collaboration from SOAFEE? Maybe connect withMatt Spencer (Deactivated) again → Francesco Salamida is working directly in SOAFEE who can be good bridge.

Technical Features:

Feature 3: Further extend and enhance VirtIO as a common AGL device virtualizaiton framework to decouple AGL software from underlying SW&HW platform on both physcial ECU in edge and virtual ECU in cloud.

Feature 4: Integrate Display Virtualization solution "Unified HMI" into AGL UCB to actualize cross-ECU/processor device virtualization
Feature 5: Develop a prototype of workload orchestration & deployment starting from single SoC envionrment (workload examples: container, thin VM, posix process and etc.)

Virtualization
- VirtIO in HV
- VirtIO in non-HV
- VirtIO across Multi-ECU
- VirtIO in Cloud-Native
Conternization & Orchestration
- Determine Container Type suitable for automotive use case:
  - LXC
  - docker
  - container-d
  - podman
  - ???
- Evaluate the usage of application container inside AGL for IVI/IC use cases
  - implementaiton in SOAFEE is lacking graphic perspectives which has higher weight in AGL (SOAFEE is targeting more for ADAS/AD features)
- Find/develop an OSS container engine and orchestrator (k3s?) fitting for AGL use case
Cloudification
- Cloud-native Environment
- Cloud service
- CICD cloud infrastructure
