meta-agl-demo, the reference UI layer for the DEMO platform of Automotive Grade Linux

The layer ‘meta-agl-demo’ provides a reference/demo platform and applications for the AGL Distribution.

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

The AGL community appreciates feedback, ideas, suggestion, bugs and documentation just as much as code. Please join the irc conversation at the #automotive channel on irc.freenode.net and our mailing list.

Packagegroups

AGL Demo Platform’s package group design:

packagegroup-agl-demo-platform

This is for generating the image ‘agl-demo-platform’ which is a full image for the IVI profile of the AGL distro.

As meta-agl’s design of packagegroups, agl-demo-platform.bb contains only packagegroup-agl-demo-platform and the packages of the DEMO applications.

agl-demo-platform has 4 packagegroups in it, packagegroup-agl-image-minimal, packagegroup-agl-image-ivi, packagegroup-ivi-common-core, and packagegroup-agl-demo-platform.

packagegroup-agl-appfw*

These packagegroups contains packages for application framework of AGL Distro. Subsystem should maintain packagegroup-agl-appfw-[subsystem].bb which should hold sufficient packages for application framework of AGL Distro.

Subsystems also can maintain their own packagegroups under appropriate recipes-*/.

For example, Qt5 has 2 packagegroups in meta-agl-demo, packagegroup-agl-appfw-native-qt5 and packagegroup-agl-demo-qt-examples which are under recipes-qt/.

The packagegroup-agl-appfw-native-qt5 is included by packagegroup-agl-appfw-native because Qt5 belongs to native application framework of AGL Distro.

The packagegroup-agl-demo-qt-examples is added to local.conf if needed because they are not mandatory for AGL application framework and AGL Demo Platform.

Supported Machines
