AutoSD key features

AutoSD is the open source Linux operating system you can use to develop your own automotive-grade software distribution.

The CentOS Automotive SIG community has the following key features in iterative development:

Reactive, deterministic kernel optimized for automotive

Incorporates Real-time Linux, Real-Time Scheduler, and POSIX clocks in kernel-automotive to satisfy automotive requirements for high performance, minimal size, low latency, and consistent response times

Container runtime

Uses single-node containers and orchestration for application isolation, in-place upgrades, and mixed criticality

Secure over-the-air updates

Has immutable, atomic a/b software update capabilities that keep connected vehicles updated with AutoSD core features and security services

Monitoring and diagnostics

Integrates logging mechanisms, such as syslog and systemd journal, and log management tools

Tool set and development environment

Provides an emulated vehicle environment for Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) and quality-managed (QM) applications

Failure detection and control

Detects unexpected or unintended device behavior

Mixed criticality

Supports running concurrent QM- or ASIL-rated applications and daemons

Priority boot

Satisfies the accelerated boot time required by Federal regulations and safety applications
