Automotive Grade Linux - Evolution and Lessons Learned From 10 Years of Community Management
summary
Automotive Grade Linux claims production deployment in millions of vehicles (Toyota/Lexus lines, 2018 Camry first AGL ship) and maintains an AGL unified codebase using Yocto, systemd, Wayland, Flutter and Qt, PipeWire/WirePlumber and Vehicle Signal Specification. Governance moved from FTE donations to cash, centralized on a single developer mailing list, funded work on kernel, audio and virtualization, and runs AGL in VMs via VirtIO. Project ships two releases per year (20 releases so far) and warns: dev boards ≠ production BSPs.
