Simultaneously Leveraging Linux and Android in a GENIVI compliant IVI System – Andrew Patterson
It is widely accepted that Linux is the operating system of choice when building a complex, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system. The ability to support and quickly integrate device drivers for features such as CAN, MOST, graphics accelerators, networking interfaces, and Bluetooth can result in key differentiators for any GENIVI compliant IVI-based system. But what if Android was introduced as a second operating system? This session multiple implementations integrating both Android and Linux on multicore SoCs sharing audio and video resources across both domains while maintaining GENIVI compliance. Implementations with and without hypervisor technology will also be presented.
Trends in and features of automotive Linux, with an emphasis on Android. Presented at Google Developer Group in Mountain View, CA, USA on February 4, 2015.
Various virtualization technologies are present at the market for more than a decade, but they were typically occupying cloud platforms. Recently, virtualization began spreading over embedded platforms after ARM presented Virtualization Extension for its recent processors. Various peripherals (like disks and network) had been easily virtualized for usage by several operating systems at once, but things like Graphical Processing Units (GPU) remain to be one of the most intricate parts to be adapted, with very few vendors who actually managed to do it.

Manisha Agrawal, Product Marketing Engineer at Texas Instruments, presents the “Making Edge AI Inference Programming Easier and Flexible” tutorial at the September 2020 Embedded Vision Summit.
Deploying an AI model at the edge doesn’t have to be challenging—but it often is. Embedded processing vendors have unique sets of software tools for deploying models. It takes time and investment to learn to use proprietary tools and to optimize the edge implementation to achieve your desired performance. While embedded vendors are providing proprietary tools for model deployment, the open source community is also advancing to standardize the model deployment process and make it hardware agnostic.
Texas Instruments has adopted open source software frameworks to make model deployment easier and more flexible. In this talk, you will learn about the struggles developers face when deploying models for inference on embedded processors and how TI addresses these critical software development challenges. You will also discover how TI enables faster time-to-market using a flexible open source development approach without the need to compromise performance, accuracy or power requirements.
There is a surge in number of sensors / devices that are getting connected under the umbrella of Internet-Of-Things (IoT). These devices need to be integrated into the Android system and accessed via applications, which is covered in the course. Our Android system development course curriculum over weekends with practicals ensures you learn all critical components to get started.
As the intricacy of Electronic Control Units (ECU) in present day vehicles has expanded, the requirement for automotive functional safety standard has turned out to be more goal. ISO 26262 standard tends to the all inclusive security hones required for planning basic car segments. We take a gander from an optimistic standpoint rehearses that will help you to plan ISO 26262-agreeable ECU programming.
The presentation was used by the Dr. Pratik Desai at his talk at the "Silicon Valley Automotive Open Source" meetup held at HackerDojo on April 7th, 2016.

Customizing AOSP For Different Embedded Devices And Integration at Applicatio...ijafrc
Android is a software stack that includes operating system, middle ware, applications for the development of devices. Android has evolved greatly and user experience in addition to consumer level efficiency along with integration of android powered devices also expanded. Because of its core aspects like open source nature and architectural modal it is becoming more innovative operating system. Android is being integrated and ported to various embedded devices this includes enterprise desktop IP phones, cameras, modem, sensors, and set-up boxes and automotive. One major advantage of using android framework beyond the mobile devices is the android applications can talk to the functionality of all these devices powered by android and developers need not to write several applications for different embedded systems. This paper looks at the challenges in android migration to the different embedded platforms and porting issues. Here we presented description of preparing and building AOSP in local environment and implementation with Programming for integrating user applications in android build system permanently.
Android is beginning to take off as an embedded operating system alongside Windows Embedded and traditional embedded Linux. What are the motivations for using Android? What are the potential problems? This presentation addresses these points, with use-cases based on real-world applications of Embedded Android

Meeting SEP 2.0 Compliance: Developing Power Aware Embedded Systems for the M...mentoresd
Meeting SEP 2.0 Compliance: Developing Power Aware Embedded Systems for the Modern Age – Andrew Caples
The Smart Energy Profile (SEP) 2.0 is quickly becoming the go-to standard for developing innovative products and services in the energy power management sector. Information flow between meters, smart appliances, and energy management systems must occur in an open, standardized, and interoperable fashion. SEP 2.0 establishes the standard for communication interoperability as well as security for networked appliances and meters.
In this session attendees will learn how to meet the challenges of SEP 2.0 compliance with a small footprint RTOS, such as Nucleus RTOS from Mentor Graphics, to address the connectivity and security requirements for the smart energy profile. This session takes a detailed look at the design considerations to consider how an RTOS can reduce development time and cost for SEP 2.0 compliant products.
How to Measure RTOS Performance – Colin Walls
In the world of smart phones and tablet PCs memory might be cheap, but in the more constrained universe of deeply embedded devices, it is still a precious resource. This is one of the many reasons why most 16- and 32-bit embedded designs rely on the services of a scalable real-time operating system (RTOS). An RTOS allows product designers to focus on the added value of their solution while delegating efficient resource (memory, peripheral, etc.) management. In addition to footprint advantages, an RTOS operates with a degree of determinism that is an essential requirement for a variety of embedded applications. This paper takes a look at “typical” reported performance metrics for an RTOS in the embedded industry.
Profiling Multicore Systems to Maximize Core Utilization mentoresd
Profiling Multicore Systems to Maximize Core Utilization – Colin Walls
Underutilization of cores in a multicore system can be considered a bug. As your system incorporates more cores, you need to make sure that all the cores are being utilized fully. Un-expected inter-actions between processes, the operating system, and resources can prevent cores from delivering peak performance. In this session explore how to profile what each core is doing, which processes are running on each core, and understand where core utilization falls below optimum values.
Developing the Next Generation Embedded HMIs mentoresd
Developing the Next Generation Embedded HMIs – Phil Burr
With more and more people using smartphones it is no surprise that more and more people are demanding better HMIs in other products: whether it is in their set top box, refrigerator, or car, users have come to expect graphically rich dynamic HMIs. This is all very well, but what is a humble developer to do when confronted with the constraints of their embedded device. This presentation examines the options for embedded developers needing to implement these latest HMIs and looks at tools and techniques which can help developers meet or exceed their customer’s HMI expectations.
Power Management in Embedded Systems – Colin Walls
The importance of power management in today’s embedded designs has been steadily growing as an increasing number of battery powered devices are developed. Often power optimizations are left to the very end of the project cycle, almost as an afterthought. In this presentation we will discuss design considerations that should be made when starting a new power sensitive embedded design, which include choosing the hardware with desired capabilities, defining a hardware architecture that will allow software to dynamically control power consumption, defining appropriate power usage profiles, making the appropriate choice of an operating system and drivers, choosing measurable power goals and providing these goals to the software development team to track throughout the development process.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

29. Overview of LXC
• OS-level virtualization method
• Used to run multiple isolated Linux systems
– Can be different distributions
• A single kernel is shared
• LXC does not provide a virtual machine
– provides a virtual environment that has its own process and network
space
• The LXC project is hosted on SourceForge
– http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxc/
• Userspace control tools are provided for Linux containers
• LXC has been integrated into Mentor ATP
30. Overview of LXC (Cont…)
Linux cgroups provide:
• Resource limiting: groups can be set to not exceed a set memory limit
• Prioritization: some groups may get a larger share of CPU or disk I/O
throughput
• Accounting: to measure how much resources certain systems use for
e.g. billing purposes
• Isolation: separate namespaces for groups, so they don't see each
other's processes, network connections or files
• Control: freezing groups or checkpointing and restarting

Editor's Notes
Infotainment systems are become key decision points by customers, more and more influenced by the SmartPhone lifecycle. Users no longer wish to maintain multiple user-interfaces, and contact lists. OEMs and Tier 1s are under pressure to reduce development costs, so this has driven the formation of industry standards and alliances in the area of IVI and Instrument Clusters
Many OEMs and TIer1s have recognized that they cannot stay on a proprietary or first generation platform. The QNX operating system has been widely used in the past, but does not offer the open-source path and GENIVI compliance needed to keep future cost base low. Other proprietary solutions for IVI, such as Microsoft or Google, are risky because of potential future license restrictions
Agenda for this presentation.
Automotive OEMs and Tier 1s are facing a wide range of new challenges demanded by customers, increasingly influenced by Smart Phone technology. A second generation, linux-based platform capable of handling the complexity is needed

The QNX operating system has been widely used in the past, but does not offer the open-source path and GENIVI compliance needed to keep future cost base low.

Because of the success of Android in the SmartPhone market, many IVI users expect similar apps in their cars. There are several ways to include Android in an IVI solution, and one increasingly popular solution is the Linux Container. Here Android sits as a Guest OS on top if the Linux Kernel. Priveliges and permissions may be tightly controlled
An alternative way to implement Android is by using a Hypervisor, provided by specialist partners. Mentor has close relationships with Hypervisor providers, such as Open Kernel Labs and SysGo
Users often worry that a Hypervisor will be a performance overhead, but this is not typically the case. As platforms get more and more powerful, a Hypervisor is a good way to offer support for multiple operating systems and functions in IVI and Instrument Cluster
This slide shows the four key elements to Mentor’s IVI strategy
