Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting Europe 2026

AGL(Automotive Grade Linux) supports many integration types such as standalone IVI, standalone Instrument Cluster, hypervisor-based integration, Linux container-based integration and etc. This diversity is a strong point of AGL. It realizes the importance of incubation for new technology.
The AGL container integration was upstreamed in 2023. It incubated many key technologies for Linux-based systems. On the other hand, the past presentation focuses on the technology element.
In this session, we are talking about how to build, customize and run AGL container integration in your own environment. This session includes 1) how to build an image for a reference board, 2) how to customize AGL to use case and/or your board, 3) how to use the image in the reference board.

As automotive software moves toward SDV, decoupling hardware and software and using independently evolving upstream open source projects become increasingly important. While traditional BSP-centered integration remains essential for product development and long-term maintenance, it is not sufficient for continuously combining and validating upstream projects such as Linux, Xen, Zephyr, and Yocto. Drawing on our OSS integration work on R-Car SparrowHawk, this talk introduces “Upstream Integration” as a complementary model to BSP integration and explains how AGL can serve as a shared integration platform for validating upstream technologies, building reusable reference implementations, and contributing improvements back to their communities. SparrowHawk is primarily an automotive reference, with reuse potential in IoT and industrial domains.
