====== AGL Distribution ======

AGL is creating an automotive specific Linux distribution that unifies the software that has been written in a number of places already, such as GENIVI, Tizen, Web OSe, and more. 

The code is maintained and published at [[https://git.automotivelinux.org | the AGL project git repositories]]. The [[https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/ | AGL gerrit site ]] is used for code reviews. 

Issue tracking and work planning for the AGL Distribution Project is done in Jira at [[https://jira.automotivelinux.org]].

You can download software for the following hardware
[[agl-distro:source-code|Download and build]]

**[[agl-distro:release-notes|Release notes]]** for [[agl-distro:release-notes#latest_stable_release | last stable release]] and and other past releases can be found [[agl-distro:release-notes| here]]

===== Supported Hardware ===== 

AGL makes two types of hardware support available: Reference BSPs and Community BSPs.

1) **Reference Boards** have Board Support Packages (BSPs) that are maintained by their sponsoring companies and are included in our Jenkins CI system. Reference BSPs have snapshot builds that are made available daily and are fully validated with test results made available for every major AGL release. 

2) **Community Boards** have BSPs that are maintained as a best effort by the AGL community based on upstream BSPs. Community Boards include some of the most-used Hobbyist boards such as the Raspberry PI or older automotive boards.

**Note 1:** A minimum build for the Renesas M3 ULCB board is [[https://download.automotivelinux.org/AGL/snapshots/master/latest/m3ulcb-nogfx |available as a snapshot]] which does not include the graphics libraries. A full M3 ULCB binary is unavailable due to Renesas License restrictions on the graphics driver. Please see Quick Start guide for instructions to build your own image. 

**Note 2:** VirtualBox / Vmware users can use the provided vmdk and import it. Be aware that you have to comment-out a line in /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini to look like:
''#backend=drm-backend.so''

**Note 3:** Intel Cyclone V upstream support was deleted after the Electric Eel 5.0.1 release. See [[https://jira.automotivelinux.org/browse/SPEC-1383 | SPEC-1383]] for more information. We are working with Intel to restore support for the Cyclone V.

===== Subsystems and Maintainers =====

The AGL Software Architecture was deconstructed to determine where there are synergies or vertical architecture slices that can be managed as part of the larger distribution. This is shown in the diagram below. For each of those subsystems there is a subsystem maintainer. In some cases there is a subsystem architect as well. 

{{ :distro:agl_subsystems.png?600 |}}

===== Governance =====
The roles within the AGL development team include Architect and Developers. Developers are identified as either Contributors (or Committers) or Mergers (Maintainers).  Among the Maintainers the AGL Distribution has a group of overall maintainers and subsystem maintainers. 

=== Architect ===
There System Architects and Subsystem Architects on the AGL project. Within their sphere and expertise both types of architects have similar responsibilities. 
  * Requirements analysis for the subsystem as documented in the requirements management database or other informal mechanisms as required.
  * Architecture of the subsystem including package selection and configuration related packages in the subsystem.
  * Keeping current with upstream code releases, roadmaps, and patches 
  * Create and maintain the subsystem level API that is published for developers.
  * Subsystem architects may be responsible for the possible further breakdown into sub-subsystems.

=== Developers ===
Developer roles are defined [[agl-distro:contributing|on this page]]
