==== Create AGL Distribution ====

A project to create an AGL distribution that fulfills the requirements for Automotive Grade Linux and unifies the code developed for GENIVI, Tizen, and AGL into a single distribution. 

==== Repo Name ==== 

The code is managed in [[https://git.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/| the AGL git repository]].

Issue tracking and work planning is on Jira at [[https://jira.automotivelinux.org]].

==== Description  ====

This project encompasses the setting up the infrastructure and creation of a Yocto based AGL distribution. The main wiki page for the distribution is [[agl-distro|AGL Distribution]]. As work is completed on this project it will be documented on [[agl-distro|AGL Distribution]] site. 

==== Scope  ====

The project scope encompasses creating an AGL Distribution that is:
  * Yocto based
  * Hosted on on Linux Foundation servers.
  * Performing Continuous Integration using a Continuous Integration server such as Jenkins.
  * Utilizing automated testing that is run daily.

At the end of the project (envisioned by Jan 2016) there will also be demo applications. Based input from the members those applications will have native and Crosswalk versions available. The applications chosen are:
  * Best Freakin' Home Screen Ever
  * Settings
  * Media Browser and Player
  * HVAC Control 


The project was broken up into three phases.

Phase 1 - Create an AGL Distro [See Also [[project-create-agl-distro:Phase 1 |Phase 1 Discussions and Decisions]]]
  * Replacement for Tizen IVI, provide the same infrastructure that Tizen IVI provided
  * Unify as much as possible AGL, Tizen IVI and GENIVI
  * Design the layers such that the base distro can be used for IVI, Cluster, Telematics
  * Create the recipes and layers
  * Create test framework
  * App framework and demo is out of scope for Phase 1
  * Support ARM and x86 (Minnowboard or VTC 1010)
  * Release phase 1 by end of August

Phase 2 - App Framework and Demo Applications [See Also [[project-create-agl-distro:Phase 2 |Phase 2 Discussions and Decisions]]]
  * Identify release cadence and support going forward (bug fixing, security updates, frequency of releases)
  * App framework(s)
  * Demo applications (Home Screen, Media browser/player, Vehicle data, Settings)
  * Option for Native vs HTML5 apps
  * Support for QEMU or virtualized emulator?
  * Release Phase 2 by end of 2015

Phase 3 - SDK and additional profiles [See Also [[project-create-agl-distro:Phase 3 |Phase 3 Discussions and Decisions]]]
  * SDK
  * Profiles for Cluster, HUD, Telematics
