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
