• Update activities Paradox Cat for AOSP emulator
  • The repositories are updated, boot animation is now implemented, first prebuilt version is to be distributed via S3 by Paradox Cat.
  • GitHub actions are to be set up by Paradox Cat, testing with AWS needs to be done to decide on operation mode which would not incur too much cost.

• 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:

  • next step: refinement from Paradox Cat, together with input from the group, and evaluation,
    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)
  • aim: decision in Board meeting April 9 on funding and how to move forward.
