SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Automotive Grade
Linux (AGL), an open source project developing a shared
software platform for in-vehicle technology, today announced the
latest code release of the AGL platform, UCB 10, also known under
the codename "Jumping Jellyfish."
Developed through a joint effort by dozens of member companies,
the AGL Unified Code Base (UCB) is an open source software platform
that can serve as the de facto industry standard for infotainment,
telematics and instrument cluster applications.
"The AGL platform is Yocto-based, and for Jumping Jellyfish, we
updated to Yocto's first Long Term Support (LTS) release named
Dunfell," said Dan Cauchy, Executive
Director of Automotive Grade Linux at the Linux Foundation. "This
is significant as it means the Yocto Project will provide patches,
fixes, and updates for an extended period of time, something that
is essential for automotive systems, which have a longer life cycle
than many other embedded Linux applications."
UCB 10/Jumping Jellyfish includes an operating system, board
support package, middleware, application framework and application
APIs. Notable updates to the AGL platform include:
- Updated to Yocto Project's first Long Term Support (LTS)
release, 3.1 "Dunfell"
- New WindowManager 'agl-compositor' replacing
agl-service-windowmanager
- Reworked autobuild scripts (update in services/apps
required)
- Board Support Package updates including i.MX8 support
The full list of additions and enhancements to UCB 10 can be
found here.

About Automotive Grade Linux (AGL)
Automotive Grade Linux is a collaborative open source project that
is bringing together automakers, suppliers and technology companies
to accelerate the development and adoption of a fully open software
stack for the connected car. With Linux at its core, AGL is
developing an open platform from the ground up that can serve as
the de facto industry standard to enable rapid development of new
features and technologies. Although initially focused on
In-Vehicle-Infotainment (IVI), AGL is the only organization
planning to address all software in the vehicle, including
instrument cluster, heads up display, telematics, advanced driver
assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. The AGL platform
is available to all, and anyone can participate in its development.
Automotive Grade Linux is hosted at the Linux Foundation. Learn
