Automotive Grade Linux Fresh UCB Four.0 & Fresh Member Karamba
There were two announcements about Automotive Grade Linux (AGL). Karamba Security, a provider of cybersecurity solutions for connected and autonomous vehicles, today announced that it has joined the Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) Project and The Linux Foundation to help develop its cybersecurity best practices. AGL released the latest version of the AGL infotainment platform, Unified Code Base (UCB) Four.0, which includes support for SmartDeviceLink integration, Speech Recognition APIs, secure Over-the-Air Updates (SOTA) and improvements to the App Framework and Software Development Kit (SDK).
UCB Four.0
The UCB Four.0 release goes after latest news that Toyota has adopted the AGL platform for its next-generation infotainment system, debuting in the two thousand eighteen Toyota Camry in the United States.
Developed through a joint effort by dozens of member companies, the AGL Unified Code Base (UCB) Four.0 is an open source infotainment platform that can serve as the de facto industry standard. The purpose of the UCB infotainment platform is to provide 70-80% of the embarking point for a production infotainment system. Automakers and suppliers customize the other 20-30% by adding features and modifying the user interface to meet their unique product needs.
Sharing a single software platform across the industry reduces fragmentation and accelerates time-to-market by encouraging the growth of a global ecosystem of developers that can build a product once and have it work for numerous automakers.
Fresh features in the AGL UCB Four.0 include:
- Update to Yocto Two.Two.
- Application Framework improvements.
- Application Services APIs for Bluetooth, Audio, Tuner and CAN signaling.
- AGL API version two using OpenAPI Specification format.
- CAN signaling, secure signaling and notifications.
- SDK improvements with fresh Application templates.
- SmartDeviceLink ready, ease of integration with SDL.
- Default board support tunings across Intel, ARM32 and ARM64 architectures.
- Added board support for the Renesas R-Car three and Qualcomm SnapDragon 820.
The finish UCB Four.0 release notes are available on the AGL wiki.
