[svlug] Thursday June 2: presentation about AUTOSAR, automotive ECUs and Linux in Fremont

[Chaiken, Alison]

Greetings, fellow Linux users and developers.   On Thursday night, 
Silicon Valley Automotive Open Source Group will host a presentation:


http://www.meetup.com/Silicon-Valley-Automotive-Open-Source/events/230792659/
What: "Addressing Automotive Networking Challenges with AUTOSAR and 
Linux"
Where: Mentor Graphics, near Warren and 880 in Fremont
When: June 2 at 7 pm (lecture), doors and buffer after 6 PM
Cost: $2 including buffet
Abstract: AUTOSAR is a set of communications and operating systems 
standards for automotive ECUs that has been developed by an industry 
consortium with the goal of fostering code reuse through greater 
interoperability. The AUTOSAR consortium was founded in 2003, and now 
supports all the major automotive buses (CAN, LIN, FlexRay and 
Ethernet).

A brief overview will be provided about AUTOSAR, which has a growing 
footprint at OEMs worldwide. The AUTOSAR specification describes the 
platform behavior from HW interface to application interface to vehicle 
system signals and ECU resources.  Mathias will talk about the new 
development of Adaptive AUTOSAR,  which is based on a subset of POSIX. 
As a pioneer in this area, Mentor has developed the ability to run 
AUTOSAR on an embedded Linux system and will be highlighting the 
benefits this offers car makers.

During refreshments a demo showing AUTOSAR on Linux will be available.

Speaker: Mathias Fritzson is the product manager for VSTAR, Mentor's 
AUTOSAR implementation. Mathias formerly worked in the Delphi subsidiary 
Mecel where he was the product line manager for AUTOSAR products. He has 
held several different positions developing embedded software, and has 
participated in standardization and research projects for the automotive 
industry. Mathias holds a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Chalmers 
University.

I'll be driving to the event from Mountain View, so ping me if you want 
to carpool.

Best wishes,
Alison
