"At Open Source Summit Japan, Dan Cauchy, executive director of Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), announced its new open-source platform for cars. Called SoDeV, this is a radical remodeling of how open-source software will be integrated into your next car. Linux under the hood Linux has long played a role in your car, sometimes literally under the hood. Today, car brands using Linux include not only Japanese companies such as Toyota, Honda, and Mazda,"
"These stacks are also large blocks of code. For even one small patch, the entire program must be replaced. With this new containerized approach, your car's software can be fixed as needed with far less hassle. SoDeV does this by enabling ECU consolidation and using virtualization, containerization, and hardware abstraction so that the same software stack can span multiple vehicle generations and hardware variants. This also means that you'll be able to "update your car over-the-air [OTA"
SoDeV is an open-source platform that restructures automotive software into virtualized, containerized components and hardware abstraction layers. Many automakers already rely on Linux across vehicle systems, but current Software-Defined Vehicles use dozens of tightly coupled ECUs and large, model-specific software stacks requiring shop updates. SoDeV enables ECU consolidation and decouples software from specific hardware so the same stack can span multiple vehicle generations and variants. Containerization allows targeted patches without replacing entire programs, and virtualization supports over-the-air updates. The approach promises faster feature delivery, simplified maintenance, and broader reuse of software across brands and models.
