Role of AGL in Virtualization Standardization
- OASIS(VirtIO 1.1): general standard on virtio specification
- GENIVI - AVPS: automotive-centered specification
- AGL: coding & implementation for real automotive use (more close to real product)
Virtualization EG Roadmap in 2020
- Support VirtIO in AGL
- Multi-VM VirtIO PoC
- AGL Virtualization White Paper Update
- VirtIO Frontend Integration in AGL
*Note: Anyone would like to propose other activities for EG, please write down here and state your name beside.
Sub-activities
Multi-VM VirtIO PoC
- Purpose: To show the features and evaluate performance for VirtIO automotive use
- Define common specification, architecture and evaluation items for the EG PoC
- Discussion on VirtIO Devices to be used in different automotive use cases (IVI, IC, Telematics)
- what virtual devices should be used
- how the virtual devices should be used (pass-through/front-end/back-end)
- Discussion on VirtIO Devices to be used in different automotive use cases (IVI, IC, Telematics)
- Implementation
- HW:
- Emulator: QEMU
- SoC: TBD
- Options:
- Renesas M3/H3 (H3 is hard to get for some members)
- Qualcomm Board
- QEMU x86
- other companies' SoC
- Options:
- HW: TBD
- Options:
- Renesas Reference Board
- LEGO
- ...
- Options:
- SW:
- Hypervisor: Any OSS/commercial hypervisor that supports VirtIO
- Front-end Device Driver: Open Source
- Back-end Device Driver: Proprietary for most of the case (QEMU has open source backend)
- How:
- idea: break down to several PoCs with incremental features
- step 1: common/basic feature only (only 1 guest VM, only simple virtio devices such as virtio-blk, virtio-net)
- step 2: more advanced feature
- idea: break down to several PoCs with incremental features
- Who:
- option 1: voluntary implementation from members (PoC in the name of the company/community) → option 1 selected
- Volunteer 1: OpenSynergy (Mikhail Golubev )
- Hardware: LEGO Renesas Board (AGL Reference HW)
- Hypervisor: COQOS Hypervisor
- VM: 1 AGL Backend (HH 8.x) & 1 AGL Frontend (HH 8.x) => think about updating to Jellyfish
- virtio devices: blk, net, input, gpu(2d), gpu(3d? → may be passthrough)
- Volunteer 2: Linaro (VICTOR DUAN)
- Hardware: 96Board
- Hypervisor: Xen Hypervisor
- VM: TBD
- virtio devices
- Volunteer 1: OpenSynergy (Mikhail Golubev )
- option 2: get funding support from Linux Foundation (PoC in the name of AGL community)
- option 1: voluntary implementation from members (PoC in the name of the company/community) → option 1 selected
- Potential Target Event:
Walt Miner to check if possible to present PoCs in the name of Virtualization EG (ALS, AMM)- 2020.12 AGL ALS → held virtually on December 2~4 (option selected. will attend in the form of virt-eg)
- Jerry, Jiancong Zhao to send a title and abstract for the talk to Walt Miner (by )
- 2021.1 CES2021 → AGL will not attend CES2021
- 2021.3 AGL AMM
- 2020.12 AGL ALS → held virtually on December 2~4 (option selected. will attend in the form of virt-eg)
- HW:
Update on AGL Virtualization White Paper
- Purpose:
- A summary of virtio discussion in AGL Virtualization EG
- To update original contents in the white paper published 2 years ago
- To include new topics such as standardization in automotive virtualization (virtio) in the whitepaper
- Previous AGL Virtualization White Paper: https://www.automotivelinux.org/blog/2018/06/20/agl-publishes-virtualization-white-paper/
- Possible Topics:
- Role of AGL in virtualization standardization (compared with other OSS promoting community such as GENIVI, OASIS)
- Device Virtualization (VirtIO) Related
- What is VirtIO and why it is important
- How VirtIO can be used in automotive (uses cases in IC, IVI, Telematics)
- Sample VirtIO-based architecture
- Performance Indicator/Criteria for different virtual devices. Possible open source tools for the evaluation.
- Future of Standardization in Virtualization of Automotive (such as virtio-backend standardization)
Status: Pending Walt Miner to find the editable version of previous whitepaper
VirtIO Frontend Integration In AGL
- Activity Leader: Mikhail Golubev
- Yocto layer to enable user to choose whether to use VirtIO or not.
- Introduce virtio-blk, net, console, random generator, gpu2d&3d in AGL K
- release date:
- release candidate 1:
- release candidate 2:
(ddl to include new feature in to AGL K is RC2)
- Introduce other standardized and upstream available virtio devices in AGL L
VirtIO Backend Standardization Discussion
Pending to find a volunteer to lead the activity
