Embedded and Automotive/Archived/PV Drivers/Roadmap

Note that this roadmap is out-of-date. Some of the work has been superseded and others has happened.

Project Infrastructure and Initial GlobalLogic Contribution

• Set up Project infrastructure (code repos and mailing list) – ✓, although there is an issue in that the repos are somehow hidden from the directory
• Add Wiki pages (instruction to get SW build for TI J6 EVM) – end of August
• Initial code contribution of QNX drivers by GlobalLogic ✗ as interest has shifted to AGL, for which there is an upstream, and there is a risk of having to maintain an unnecessary Xen port

Planned Code Contributions

• Xen Project Hypervisor changes: some for 4.4 - ✓
• Xen Project Hypervisor changes: some for 4.5 - ✓
• Xen Project Hypervisor changes: some for 4.6 - ✓
• QNX & Tizen baseports to run as Xen Project guests ✗ Interest has shifted to AGL
• Upstream RT Scheduler performance improvements to Hypervisor - ✓ in Xen 4.5 - additional work ongoing and planned for Xen 4.7
• GPU virtualization PV drivers using OpenGL ✗ this was prototyped - an alternative approach exists out-of-tree at this stage
• Adding support for Renesas R-Car M2/H2 hardware – ✓ Initial support in Xen 4.6, some support planned for later
• Thin Dom0 (only containing kernel with Xen tools on Dom 0 - and no drivers or other functionality - for disaggregated architecture)
• ISO 26262 certification - ongoing

Project Wish list (unplanned at this stage)

• Power Management Improvements
• Arctic Core – Open Source Autosar
• Better support for SMMU
