===== 2018 CES Demonstrator =====

Overall Jira tracking for the demonstrator can be found [[https://jira.automotivelinux.org/browse/SPEC-433 | in this issue]]

===== Call for Participation =====

  - It is expected that a set of core AGL applications will run on all of the demo units (e.g., AGL Home Screen and others to be designated at https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro/ces-2018-demo#apps 
  - All demonstrators must run using the Electric Eel Release Candidate 3 or later (preferred) or the latest Daring Dab release (4.0.2 or later).
  - All applications created by the Demo Provider must use the AGL Application Framework and should provide app widgets and binaries that can be downloaded by the AGL Community. Ideally source code for demo apps will be made available to the AGL Community using the Apache 2.0 or other open source license. 
  - Initial versions of demo software must be available in the AGL Electric Eel RC 2 build for app developers by 15 November. 

===== Main CES 2018 AGL Demo Features =====

==== Hardware ====

=== Main Board ===

  * The Main Board for the new AGL demonstrator consists of the two parts
    * Renesas [[https://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/M3SK | RCar Gen3 Starter Kit]] - Also known as the Ultra Low Cost Board (ULCB).   
    * The ULCB will be connected to the [[http://elinux.org/R-Car/Boards/Kingfisher | Kingfisher  board]] to provide additional peripherals and eliminate the need for USB dongles that were required for the previous generation AGL CES demo.  Specifically the [[http://www.shimafuji.co.jp/DL/EN/InfotainmentCarrierBoard/ | Advanced Model  (SBEV-RCAR-KF-M04)]] which can be ordered from Shimafuji. 
  * This combination is referred to as KF+ULCB 

=== USB powered hub ===

It is expected that the KF+ULCB provides sufficient USB ports for the demonstrator. In case additional ports are required it is recommended that the following powered hub is used to connect USB peripherals for AGL demos. 
  * [[https://www.amazon.com/D-Link-including-Charging-Adapter-DUB-H7/dp/B0000B0DL7 | D-Link DUB-H7]]

=== Wifi Connectivity ===

   * KF+ULCB provides Wifi. Deprecating use of Wifi dongle. Refer to [[agl-distro:ces-2017-demo|2017 CES Demonstrator]] for older hardware. 
 
=== Bluetooth Connectivity ===  
   * KF+ULCB provides Bluetooth. Deprecating use of Bluetooth dongle. Refer to [[agl-distro:ces-2017-demo|2017 CES Demonstrator]] for older hardware. 

=== NFC Reader ===
   * The ARC122U hardware seems to be the most popular for Linux. Propose using [[https://www.amazon.com/ACR122U-Reader-Writer-Bonus-NTAG213/dp/B00OEB7U3G | this NFC reader]] for the demo. 

=== Displays ===
  * Front  
      * Commercially available [[http://www.amazon.com/GeChic-Portable-Touchscreen-Monitor-Inputs/dp/B00DS18ZTG | 1080p HDMI/USB touchscreen display]]

  * Rear
    * MOST connected display 
      * 2x [[https://boundarydevices.com/product/nit6x_1024x600/ | Boundary Devices Display]]
      * 2x [[https://boundarydevices.com/product/nitrogen6x-board-imx6-arm-cortex-a9-sbc/ | Boundary Devices Board]] For the CPU board, multiple types are available. The Nit6Q_W Quad-Core, 1GB DDR3, TiWi-BLE + Antenna  was used in the demonstrator. 
 
=== Vehicle Hardware === 

  * CAN/LIN via USB, MOST (via USB)
  * 5.1 Audio via MOST FIXME Different audio solution for 2018. This older MOST 150 hardware solution requires UNICENS and an update to the MOST board if you already have this configuration. Please contact Soya-san to have your hardware updated. 

    * [[https://www.k2l.de/products/74/MOST150%20Audio%205.1%20Kit/ | K2L MOST150 Audio 5.1 Kit]]
    * [[https://www.k2l.de/products/73/MOST150%20Audio%20Starterkit/ | K2L MOST150 Audio Starterkit]] is also available to use for debugging.
    * Microphone connected via MOST (need spec from Soya-san)
  * Actuators and fan for HVAC connected via CAN - same hardware as CES 2016 demo. 
<del>  * Lexus Remote Touch or BMW iDrive style controller connected via CAN for input</del>
  * Steering wheel with audio controls
    * Can use the [[https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Driving-Force-Racing-PlayStation/dp/B00Z0UWWYC/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1512481346&sr=1-2&keywords=logitech+racing+wheel | Logitech G29]] racing wheel. Would like to use actual vehicle hardware connected to CAN at some point. 
  * AM/FM Tuner - KF+ULCB provides tuner. Deprecating use of tuner dongle. Refer to [[agl-distro:ces-2017-demo|2017 CES Demonstrator]] for older hardware.
