Lightning Talk: The AGL Wayland Compositor

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

AGL replaces ivi-shell by shipping a compositor built on libweston that uses xdg-shell for toolkit compatibility while exposing automotive features via an HMI client-side protocol plus a gRPC proxy. Surfaces use string application ID instead of integer IDs. Code is shared with Weston, private compositor extensions provide GPU bypass and window-placement policies, and the implementation claims to satisfy IVI behaviours (camera on reverse, stacked or designated-area windows) with a single maintained stack.
