Eureka, Mcloudware, Microchip, Moscow Design Bureau and Wind River Join the Linux Foundation and Automotive Grade Linux

Fifty-one members around the globe contribute code and resources to deliver the industry’s first fully open automotive platform that puts OEMs in control

SAN FRANCISCO, February 12, 2015 – Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), a collaborative open source project developing a common, Linux-based software stack for the connected car, today announced that Eureka Inc., Mcloudware, Microchip, Moscow Design Bureau and Wind River are joining The Linux Foundation and AGL to advance the creation of an open source reference platform to help the industry rapidly innovate and build the cars of the future.

“We are particularly excited to see organizations from around the globe all joining AGL to collaborate on a single open source automotive platform that the entire industry can leverage,” said Dan Cauchy, general manager of automotive, The Linux Foundation. “Together with existing AGL members from multiple countries, this is a true indication of the reach, growth and relevance of AGL worldwide.”

AGL is a community of developers working across company lines to develop a common and open automotive platform that OEMs and suppliers can utilize and customize for their needs. It builds on top of Tizen IVI and adds key applications developed in HTML5 and JavaScript into a single open source reference platform. AGL code, Design Requirements Documents and more are all available on the AGL wiki to give anyone the background and tools needed to use the software and start contributing to the project.
