Blog Post:How to make use of Android on Linux IVI systems with Linux Containers

Kamran Shah — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:42:38 GMT

Andrew Patterson hosted a webinar that was very popular recently on the options for making use of Android in IVI systems. This includes porting Android to run directly on an SoC as the sole operating system, running Android in conjunction with another operating system such as Linux with use of a hypervisor, or making use of Android via a Linux Container. As a follow-up Ned, one of experts on Linux Containers,

On-demand Web Seminar:Improve your embedded development process with advanced software insight and new capabilities in the latest release of Sourcery CodeBench

The latest release of Sourcery CodeBench includes powerful new capabilities and features, enabling increased insight into your software’s performance and behavior.

On-demand Web Seminar:Debug and optimize Linux drivers & applications before silicon is available using virtual prototypes and emulators

Thu, 23 May 2013 17:10:22 GMT

Learn how before (and after) first silicon is available you can bring up a complete Linux stack and remain in your native embedded software development environment and develop, debug and optimize their complete software stack, on virtual prototypes and emulation platforms.

Event:Using Android in Automotive Systems with Linux Containers

Fri, 10 May 2013 07:00:00 GMT

Running Android in the automotive environment is associated with a number of constraints on the platform and the applications. Linux containers present one of the options of running Android on top of an automotive platform and offer some interesting interoperability possibilities. By attending this session you will be in a better position to understand challenges, technical possibilities and trade-offs when running Android on top of a “native” Linux platform (a GENIVI compliant stack in our example).

Blog Post:Add real world data to Linux trace without LTTng hacking

Brad Dixon — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:37:28 GMT

In my 10+ years of embedded Linux work I’ve worked with a lot of Linux trace technologies including the Linux Trace Toolkit (LTTng), System Tap, and even the not so well know and the unlikely to be mainline dtrace for Linux port. These are all very powerful tools that can expose many of the internal details of a Linux system and, depending how you use each tool, create huge volumes of data along

Blog Post:GENIVI Infotainment Solutions - 100 progress meetings

Andrew Patterson — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:45:22 GMT

Next week in Barcelona over 400 Automotive industry experts are expected at the latest GENIVI All-Members meeting. Over 5 days, more than 100 separate meetings are scheduled, covering a wide range of topics relating to In-Vehicle Infotainment platforms. An on-going challenge with the GENIVI project is to build in sufficient flexibility that the platform can be used by a wide range of Tier One and OEM

Blog Post:Debugging with printf() or not ...

Colin Walls — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:22:39 GMT

My colleague Richard Vlamynck [who has been a guest blogger here] and I were discussing tracing and debugging. Like me, he has been doing software for a few years. Hence, when we considered tracing and instrumenting code, he commented “It used to be easy to see what effect trace statements had on your program because, as you put more or less trace cards in your Fortran deck, you could visually

Blog Post:View the discussion on Linux in automotive and vehicle to vehicle communication - and ask your own questions

Kamran Shah — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:51:37 GMT

We just wrapped up our google hangout with Alison Chaiken and Ravi Puvalla discussing the use of Linux in automotive systems. It was a pretty interactive discussion and questions covered quite a wide range of topics including AUTOSAR, V2V communication, automotive networks and buses, as well as some opinions from attendees on security and liability. You can view the archive on the event page and post

Blog Post:Join Alison Chaiken and Ravi Puvvala on a Google Hangout discussing how Embedded Linux can take on the hard problems of Automotive

Kamran Shah — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 21:39:49 GMT

Allison Chaiken recently presented this information at the Embedded Linux conference in San Francisco. Alison and Ravi Puvvala will host a Google Hangout to discuss this topic further, with some question and answer opportunity. We hope you’ll be able to join us. Her abstract for the sessions follows: From the embedded point of view, a car is a LAN with a large number of CPUs ranging from internally

Blog Post:Making use of Android in Automotive Systems Including Infotainment (IVI)

Kamran Shah — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:59:49 GMT

The role of android as an alternative to embedded Linux has been a subject of quite a bit of discussion recently. As the use of open source software in automotive gains momentum there are differing opinions on the subject of using Android, Linux or both. The Linux Foundation recently wrote a post summarizing a discussion during a panel at the Android Builders Summit as well as some interviews from
