Open Source Summit + Automotive Linux Summit Japan 2019

In the modern world there is a growing demand for virtualized solutions on the automotive markets. The existing variety of proprietary solutions from both hardware and hypervisor vendors do not provide a possibility for a guest compatible with one solution to be used with a solution from a different vendor.

The VIRTIO-based standard Automotive Virtual Platform aims to provide an opportunity to easily create, use, and redistribute virtualized guests by making the conventional hardware functionality accessible for guests through a standardized VIRTIO interface.

The goal of this report is to provide a high-level overview of an Automotive Virtual Platform and to describe the ongoing effort to develop new VIRTIO-based devices, - virtio audio and virtio video, - which are not covered by the standard yet.
