• Emulator on AMM discussion, aligning:
  
  • COVESA AOSP AMM technical sessions - Prep Co-Chairs
    
  • https://www.eventleaf.com/e/ammberlin
• Funding the emulator:
  (info Paul) Board has approved funding for the infrastructure/cloud services needed to build an Emulator. 
  I know some of you have significant experience building emulators. 
  It would be great if we could leverage this and get going with quick cycles capturing our goals and requirements on this page created by Viktor 
  COVESA AOSP Emulator Requirements.
• Next step emulator: Paradox Cat started already with Vanilla Android 12 - X86 and ARM64:
  • Two repos aosp_* set up already: manifest repo, with boot animation file.
  • next step: set up virtual machine, build it, set up binaries, then test it.
    
  • Revisited: COVESA AOSP Emulator Requirements.
  • Further ideas on what could be added and also on how to feed the emulator with data.
• Follow-up on Paradox Cat presentation, see Meeting notes 2025-03-10 →
  • discussion on whether to bring it upstream and when to address this with Google.
  • some links shared:

    in analogon to what has been done for Push Notifications (see https://wiki.covesa.global/display/WIK4/COVESA+AOSP+Weekly+2024?preview=/126386376/126386352/UnifiedPush_SoW_15JUL2024.pd)
