New projects in the pipeline

Eclipse Connected Services Platform (Harman)

The Eclipse Connected Services Platform (ECSP) provides a core platform to serve as the foundation for developing connected car systems. It empowers the community and OEMs to create innovative connected services applications. The Eclipse CSP provides functionalities for data management, vehicle management (profiles, devices, settings), user access control, notification channels, vehicle client, and integration with various open-source software.

Built on a microservices architecture, the Eclipse CSP enables modular development and deployment.

Eclipse OpenBSW (Accenture)

The project provides an embedded basic software (BSW) stack for microcontrollers written in C++ (language features up to C++14 are used). It provides libraries for

lifecycle (startup/shutdown)
communication (CAN, DoCAN, UDS)
simple OS abstraction layer (reduced to scheduling and events, FreeRTOS implementation provided)
STL-like container classes and a lock-free SPSC queue for inter task/core communication
basic I/O
development tools (serial console, logging framework)

New projects in the pipeline

Eclipse Pullpiri (LGE) - TAC voted SC pending

Eclipse Pullpiri provides a service orchestrator framework for in-vehicle services and applications.

The Eclipse Pullpiri project includes several key features within its scope, such as supporting APIs for the state transition of vehicle services, ensuring compatibility for workload manifests between cloud environments (K8S) and vehicles (Bluechi & SOAFEE specifications), and enabling and managing predefined scenarios and policies.

The Eclipse Pullpiri project does not cover several features, including implementations for basic controlling services like launch, stop, create, or delete, deployment or retrieval of workloads from a cloud registry, management of non-containerized services, and functional areas supported by general container runtime and systemd.

Eclipse Ankaios Dashboard (d-fine)

The Ankaios Dashboard is the UI for the Eclipse Ankaios project. It offers insights into a running Ankaios cluster, allows for modification/deletion/creation of workloads and offers a dependency graph for easier understanding of the interdependencies between workloads. The dashboard is a powerful tool to understand the functionality of Ankaios, if one didn't use the Ankaios CLI commands so far. Furthermore, if one is running into any issues during the execution of the Ankaios workloads, it is a good starting point to start debugging, especially for finding workloads that are missing that other workloads are depending on.

New projects in the pipeline

Eclipse Automotive API Framework (ZF Friedrichshafen AG , Vector Informatik GmbH, Qorix GmbH

Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation GmbH, BMW Group)

Decoupling of the application logic from the basic software stack enables automotive suppliers (no matter if Tier-1 or in-house teams at an OEM) to contribute with building blocks to Software-defined Vehicle (SDV) projects. The Eclipse Automotive API Framework provides a stable application-facing interface, thereby minimizing the prevalence of proprietary solutions throughout the automotive sector. A corresponding model allows configuration and offers the needed flexibility for the handling of vehicle variants and different E/E architectures. Such solution also creates a win-win situation for both suppliers and OEMs. Suppliers aim to provide off-the-shelf software, while OEMs seek seamless integration and flexibility in feature selection. To maximize its applicability in the automotive HPC domain, the application interface shall encompass a wide range of functionalities relevant to application development. These functionalities include communication, diagnostics, non-volatile memory, and logging. Additionally, lifecycle (startup, operation, shutdown) and execution management will be covered, laying the foundation for a system-wide deterministic execution of control algorithms.

Current discussion on Goals and Scope
What to expect - WIP

increase speed and efficiency in the automotive industry, by solving common problems only once as an industry
help all players to manage complexity in a better way by relying on standardized, widely tested and commonly adapted shared solutions.
create a common core of technology, enabling the creation of consistent stack distributions on the basis of a shared technology core
create a basis for continous evolution of a standard software environment with clearly described APIs, therefore manage breaking changes from generation to generation in a better way
enable portability and ease integration of functionality on different versions of the full stack and different distributions
enable an open collaboration platform so that solutions can be generated in a truly shared and distributed manner (avoiding a single vendor in control)
