Eclipse SDV with Kuksa, Velocitas and Leda

Abstract

In the Eclipse SDV working group, ETAS supports the development of multiple OSS projects to significantly increase the development speed of new vehicle functionalities. During this talk, we will showcase these Eclipse SDV technologies by presenting how we used them to develop a fleet management system on top of Linux, implementing the rFMS standard. Among other efforts, a central architectural component is to establish an abstraction layer for exchanging data between deeply embedded vehicle systems and more high-level applications in a uniform way. This abstraction benefits many use cases by making it easier to build and port applications. The data broker from Eclipse Kuksa.val acts as an abstraction layer to leverage the advantages of a standardized description of vehicle signals, like the COVESA Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) that introduces a domain taxonomy for vehicle signals. In addition, the Eclipse Velocitas project supports application developers during their work by providing an SDK to interact with the Kuksa.Val data broker, a pre-configured development environment within a container, and templates for executing CI/CD processes. The Eclipse Leda project supports device integrators by providing a Linux distribution combining the Kuksa.Val data broker, data providers for the data broker, and a runtime to execute applications developed with Eclipse Velocitas.
