5 ## meta-agl, the core layer for Automotive Grade Linux Distribution
7 AGL is creating an automotive specific Linux distribution that unifies
8 the software that has been written in a number of places already,
9 such as GENIVI and Tizen IVI.
11 The layer 'meta-agl' provides a minimal set of software
12 to boot system of AGL Distribution. 'meta-agl' is the minimal
13 core which is used build AGL profiles on top of it.
15 Especially there is no reference UI included which is part of 'meta-agl-demo'.
17 Additional components like the security framework are part of 'meta-agl-extra'.
19 The AGL community appreciates feedback, ideas, suggestion, bugs and
20 documentation just as much as code. Please join the irc conversation
21 at the #automotive channel on irc.freenode.net and our mailing list.

47 > tested revision: 8ab04afbffb4bc5184cfe0655049de6f44269990
49 Specifically out of meta-openembedded these sub-layers are used:
51 * meta-openembedded/meta-oe
52 * meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia
53 * meta-openembedded/meta-networking
54 * meta-openembedded/meta-python
58 There are 5 layers in top-level `meta-agl`.
60 * `meta-agl/meta-ivi-common`\
61 `meta-ivi-common` is a layer which contains common packages to AGL
62 Distribution and other platforms for In-Vehicle Infotainment system.
63 * `meta-agl/meta-agl`\
64 `meta-agl` is a layer which contains AGL common and middleware packages.
65 * `meta-agl/meta-agl-bsp`\
66 `meta-agl-bsp` is a layer which contains required packages to boot AGL
67 distribution on an emulated machine(QEMU).
68 * `meta-agl/meta-netboot`\
69 `meta-netboot` contains the netboot initrd support recipes. This is needed
70 in case of booting over the network as NFS does not support the securitylabels.
74 AGL package group design:
76 * packagegroup-agl-image-minimal
78 packagegroup-agl-core-automotive.bb
79 packagegroup-agl-core-connectivity.bb
80 packagegroup-agl-core-graphics.bb
81 packagegroup-agl-core-kernel.bb
82 packagegroup-agl-core-multimedia.bb
83 packagegroup-agl-core-navi-lbs.bb
84 packagegroup-agl-core-os-commonlibs.bb
85 packagegroup-agl-core-security.bb
86 packagegroup-agl-core-speech-services.bb
88 These are for making image ``agl-image-minimal`` which is small image just
89 capable of allowing a device to boot.
91 Subsystem should maintain packagegroup-agl-core-[subsystem].bb which should
92 hold sufficient packages to build ``agl-image-minimal``.
94 * packagegroup-agl-image-ivi
96 packagegroup-agl-ivi-automotive.bb
97 packagegroup-agl-ivi-connectivity.bb
98 packagegroup-agl-ivi-graphics.bb
99 packagegroup-agl-ivi-kernel.bb
100 packagegroup-agl-ivi-multimedia.bb
101 packagegroup-agl-ivi-navi-lbs.bb
102 packagegroup-agl-ivi-os-commonlibs.bb
103 packagegroup-agl-ivi-security.bb
104 packagegroup-agl-ivi-speech-services.bb
106 These are for making image ``agl-image-ivi`` which is baseline for the profiles
107 of AGL distro. 'Baseline' means Service Layer and Operating System Layer defined
110 * packagegroup-agl-test.bb
112 Additional tools used in QA tests (for agl-image*-qa).
114 * packagegroup-ivi-common*
116 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-automotive.bb
117 packagegroup-ivi-common-core.bb
118 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-connectivity.bb
119 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-graphics.bb
120 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-kernel.bb
121 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-multimedia.bb
122 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-navi-lbs.bb
123 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-os-commonlibs.bb
124 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-security.bb
125 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-speech-services.bb
126 packagegroup-ivi-common-test.bb
128 These are for picking up some packages from upstreams like GENIVI/Tizen/Others.
129 The layer of ``meta-ivi-common`` has no image to build, all packagegroups are
130 aggregated to ``packagegroup-ivi-common-core' and it is included by images,
131 ``agl-image-ivi.bb`` and ``agl-demo-platform.bb``.
