  • 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)
  • 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
      • HW: TBD
        • Options:
          • Renesas Reference Board
          • LEGO
          • ...
    • 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
    • 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
      • option 2: get funding support from Linux Foundation (PoC in the name of AGL community)
    • Potential Target Event:
      Walt Miner to check if possible to present PoCs in the name of Virtualization EG (ALS, AMM)
      • 2020.9 12 AGL ALS → held virtually on December 2~4 (option selected. will attend in the form of virt-eg)
      • 2021.1 CES2021 → AGL will not attend CES2021.
      • 2021.3 AGL AMM
