Collecting information for the planning of a shared development platform
...to develop software code that advances the chosen topics of the Android Automotive SIG.


What is a "development platform"? 

  • A well defined version of Android for Automotive development that supports running the individual components that are developed as solutions for specific issues
  • A choice of one or more supported hardware boards, for running the basic distribution and programs added to it.
  • BSPs and similar support files needed to be added to the Android source code
  • Automation tools, build-scripts, configurations and other instructions that orchestrate a build that is repeatable by any involved parties
  • A shared repository of the above, stored under GENIVI GitHub
