Evolution of Systems WG example system

• Starting point AGL Flutter based IVI demo for AWS Graviton
• Instructions can be found here: https://docs.automotivelinux.org/en/ricefish/#01_Getting_Started/02_Building_AGL_Image/11_Building_for_EC2_arm64_and_x86-64/
• You can switch on the SBOM with AGL features: https://docs.automotivelinux.org/en/ricefish/#01_Getting_Started/02_Building_AGL_Image/04_Initializing_Your_Build_Environment/#agl-features
• agl-create-spdx # Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation
• Tentative plan showcase the plain AGL build and compliance database for Embedded world.
• existing AGL build (Instrument Cluster with QT) from Gitlab CI can be found here: https://gitlab.com/elisa-tech/meta-elisa-ci/-/pipelines
• In addition to AWS Graviton also a setup based on Raspberry Pi 5 and AGL should be prepared
  • Enhancement will be Zephyr and Xen build with yocto.

Good Quality Practices in Open Source [cont.]

• Worked on gdoc draft to work for the LFE requests: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uzp4-mAAOd9uMhyKx5Vaa0C8Mq5w1IxhHFAgyE0I9p0
• main thing to do in Project Phases: Effort estimation and a bit clearer work package description.
  • Outcome: Base for financing and show who to involve for execution.
