Virtualization is definitely a smart connected vehicles enabler and a target for the next automotive industry evolution, which aims at workload consolidation. However, this consolidation can be implemented in different ways, e.g., Type-1 and Type-2 hypervisors, containers, system partitioners, etc., which with slight differences share challenges and objectives. Additionally, real time and certification constraints need to coexist with best effort applications.
Which are the solutions the AGL community should focus on?
Where the AGL could find the right solutions for certification and real time?
This BoF wants to continue the Virtualization Expert Group (EG-VIRT), reporting the first activities performed by this EG and aiming at defining objectives and next steps for the Q3 and Q4 2017. Finally, a live demo of a KVM virtual machine running on AGL will be presented (Renesas R-Car M3).
