[svlug-announce] SVLUG January 4th meeting: Sanket Agarwal on Car Infotainment Systems and Architectures

(Note new location!)


WHEN:

Wednesday, January 4th, 2017
7pm-9pm


MAIN PRESENTATION

TOPIC:  Car Infotainment Systems and Architectures 


PRESENTED BY: Sanket Agarwal,
Software Engineer, Android Automotive, Google, Inc

TOPIC SUMMARY:
Sanket will discuss the hardware architecture of how things come
together (i.e., car hardware pieces such as audio DSP, radio, car CAN
bus, and finally the infotainment system). It's important to note that
infotainment talks to a a lot of pieces but may not be the central
system, due to security concerns. 

He will cover a few use cases in detail, such as radio or audio, and how
we achieve that with an Android-based system. This may include details
from way down in the car hardware talking to CAN bus, to some kernel
details, to Android HAL, to Android apps.
