Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), a collaborative open source project developing a Linux-based, open platform for the connected car, today announced that AutoIO Technology, Irdeto, Link Motion, Pocket Soft, sdtech and Synopsys have joined The Linux Foundation and Automotive Grade Linux. AGL recently released the Unified Code Base 2.0 (UCB), an updated version of the in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) platform developed from the ground up through a joint effort by automakers and suppliers. The UCB 2.0 includes new features such as rear seat display, video playback, audio routing and application framework. Although initially focused on IVI, the AGL collaborative project plans to support instrument cluster, heads up display, telematics and autonomous driving in the future. Developing an open platform with multiple levels of security is essential for us as security breaches continue to be a concern across the industry, said Dan Cauchy, General Manager of Automotive at The Linux Foundation. These new members are a welcome addition to the AGL community as their expertise in security and software will help us improve our IVI platform as well as ensure that future projects are developed from the onset with security in mind. AGL will be holding its first Security Summit this week at the bi-annual AGL All-Member Meetings in Munich and plans to release Security Architecture guidelines later this year. |
