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

39 'meta-agl' Layer Dependencies

42 > URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
44 > tested revision: 40376446904ae3529be41737fed9a0b650ed167d
47 > URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
48 > layer : meta-openembedded
50 > tested revision: 8ab04afbffb4bc5184cfe0655049de6f44269990
52 Specifically out of meta-openembedded these sub-layers are used:
53 * meta-openembedded/meta-oe
54 * meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia
55 * meta-openembedded/meta-efl
56 * meta-openembedded/meta-networking
57 * meta-openembedded/meta-python
62 There are 5 layers in top-level `meta-agl`.
64 * `meta-agl/meta-ivi-common`
65 `meta-ivi-common` is a layer which contains common packages to AGL
66 Distribution and other platforms for In-Vehicle Infotainment system.
69 `meta-agl` is a layer which contains AGL common and middleware packages.
71 * `meta-agl/meta-agl-bsp`
72 `meta-agl-bsp` is a layer which contains required packages to boot AGL
73 distribution on an emulated machine(QEMU).
75 * `meta-agl/meta-netboot`
76 `meta-netboot` contains the netboot initrd support recipes. This is needed
77 in case of booting over the network as NFS does not support the securitylabels.
82 AGL package group design:
84 * packagegroup-agl-image-minimal
86 packagegroup-agl-core-automotive.bb
87 packagegroup-agl-core-connectivity.bb
88 packagegroup-agl-core-graphics.bb
89 packagegroup-agl-core-kernel.bb
90 packagegroup-agl-core-multimedia.bb
91 packagegroup-agl-core-navi-lbs.bb
92 packagegroup-agl-core-os-commonlibs.bb
93 packagegroup-agl-core-security.bb
94 packagegroup-agl-core-speech-services.bb
96 These are for making image ``agl-image-minimal`` which is small image just
97 capable of allowing a device to boot.
99 Subsystem should maintain packagegroup-agl-core-[subsystem].bb which should
100 hold sufficient packages to build ``agl-image-minimal``.
102 * packagegroup-agl-image-ivi
104 packagegroup-agl-ivi-automotive.bb
105 packagegroup-agl-ivi-connectivity.bb
106 packagegroup-agl-ivi-graphics.bb
107 packagegroup-agl-ivi-kernel.bb
108 packagegroup-agl-ivi-multimedia.bb
109 packagegroup-agl-ivi-navi-lbs.bb
110 packagegroup-agl-ivi-os-commonlibs.bb
111 packagegroup-agl-ivi-security.bb
112 packagegroup-agl-ivi-speech-services.bb
114 These are for making image ``agl-image-ivi`` which is baseline for the profiles
115 of AGL distro. 'Baseline' means Service Layer and Operating System Layer defined
118 * packagegroup-agl-test.bb
120 Additional tools used in QA tests (for agl-image*-qa).
122 * packagegroup-ivi-common*
124 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-automotive.bb
125 packagegroup-ivi-common-core.bb
126 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-connectivity.bb
127 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-graphics.bb
128 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-kernel.bb
129 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-multimedia.bb
130 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-navi-lbs.bb
131 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-os-commonlibs.bb
132 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-security.bb
133 packagegroup-ivi-common-core-speech-services.bb
134 packagegroup-ivi-common-test.bb
136 These are for picking up some packages from upstreams like GENIVI/Tizen/Others.
137 The layer of ``meta-ivi-common`` has no image to build, all packagegroups are
138 aggregated to ``packagegroup-ivi-common-core' and it is included by images,
139 ``agl-image-ivi.bb`` and ``agl-demo-platform.bb``.
148 Supported Target for bitbake
149 ----------------------------
153 * `agl-image-ivi` The baseline image of AGL Distributions (console only)
154 * `agl-image-minimal` For internal use to develop distribution (experimental)
155 * `agl-image-weston` For internal use to develop distribution (experimental)
