When building an automotive software stack, a central component is to establish an abstraction layer for uniformly exchanging data between deeply embedded vehicle-specific systems and high-level applications. This abstraction benefits many use cases by making it easier to build and port applications and transfer data away from the vehicle. The Automotive Grade Linux Project (AGL) adopted the data broker from Eclipse Kuksa.val as an abstraction layer to leverage the advantages of a standardized description of vehicle signals, like the COVESA Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS). In this talk, we explain the integration of Eclipse Kuksa in AGL by presenting several use cases. We further showcase ongoing developments in both projects, like a new Eclipse Kuksa Android SDK.
