Purpose and Rationale
The Hypervisor Project follows after two successful workshops at the last two GENIVI All-Member-Meetings and investigates the wide scope of open- source and commercial hypervisor technologies, and addresses challenges in their use.
Through collaboration between all vendors, experts and adopters of virtualization technology we can lower the barriers to successful product development.
The project primarily drives requirements, standardization for Hypervisor APIs, and other types of investigations to facilitate ECU consolidation, price reduction, and management of mixed-criticality in systems for improved security and functional safety.
You can look below for detailed backlog and topics, but to summarize there There are three primary work streams currently in development:
Virtual Device API standardization, leading to the definition of the Automotive standard Virtual Platform
(this naturally builds on existing standards like VIRTIO)collecting and driving requirements for a standard platform based on VIRTIO, SCMI, and other existing standards.- Multi-OS system design on Multi-Core SoCs (with/without virtualisation)
- Investigate and recommend electrical/software architecture for automotive use-cases, when deployed using virtual-machine technologies.
