Open Source Summit + AI_dev Japan 2024

The AGL SDV Expert Group has been adding new features to the AGL Unified Code Base. Jerry will present an update on their latest efforts. 

As keywords such as SDV are heard more and more frequently, software is becoming more and more in demand in the automotive industry. Open source software is used not only in vehicles, but also in various other applications such as data centers, smartphone applications, and internal systems. Some community activities, such as AGL and ELISA, are being promoted mainly in the automotive industry, and an increasing number of companies in the industry have established OSPOs. On the other hand, some companies are still reluctant to provide software developed in-house to external parties, and there are cases where software engineers in the automotive industry want to participate in open source community activities but are not provided with appropriate support. In this panel, members who are involved in open source activities at OEMs and suppliers will gather to discuss solutions to make open source community activities and contributions smoother for software engineers in the automotive industry. If you have any problems in your open source activities, please join the discussion. We hope that these issues will also be solved by the community.

AGL can run in AWS and here is how...

virtio-loopback is a virtio Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for non-virtualized environments designed and implemented by the Software Defined Vehicle Expert Group (SDV). Thanks to this technology, it is possible to abstract hardware dependencies and run the same software seamlessly on both virtualized and non virtualized systems. During this session, the latest development results related to this year activity will be shared with the community. In particular, detailed information about the development status (multi-device support, prioritization, etc) and future works will be provided.

In recent years, more in-vehicle displays have created a need for flexible application displays across multiple screens, opening new UI/UX development opportunities. However, achieving this flexibility with current graphic frameworks is costly as each hardware platform requires custom display interconnections. The automotive industry needs a "Software-Defined" display framework to separate software from hardware. Our open-source Unified HMI framework meets this need with display virtualization, enabling flexible cockpit UI/UX development across multiple displays, regardless of hardware. Unified HMI supports software-defined development on different SoCs and OS like AGL and Android, reducing development time and costs by developing seamlessly in cloud virtual ECU. It also supports continuous OTA updates throughout the vehicle's lifecycle. In this presentation, we will highlight the new feature of Unified HMI and give an outlook for future enhancements.

AGL's delivery process is the finest and most mature example in the open of a complex automotive software-defined production system. This presentation explores the AGL's delivery process through an analysis of basic flow metrics, attendees will gain an understanding of its performance and its evolution over time. As automotive companies balance internal software development requirements with working in the upstream AGL project, we offer a data-first approach to help align those efforts. The session dissects the fundamental principles of advanced data analytics applied to the production of software-defined products, using AGL's delivery process as a case study. Attendees will gain insights into leveraging analytics for optimizing software delivery in their respective domains. Additionally, practical strategies will be offered for translating the concepts, metrics, and methodologies, into actionable plans for adoption within automotive corporations. Finally, the speakers will provide hints about those open source development and delivery practices that can increase delivery performance in commercial environments, based on the analysis described in this talk.
