Get AutoSD

AutoSD is freely available as pre-built images, sample manifests, and source code. Which artifact you need depends on your goal.

Download pre-built images

If you want to boot AutoSD immediately without building from source, download a pre-built nightly image:

  • AutoSD 10 nightly images – QEMU-ready disk images for x86_64 and aarch64, rebuilt nightly from the latest AutoSD packages.

Pre-built images use the naming convention auto-osbuild-$target-$distro-$image_name-$mode.$arch.$file_type. For example, auto-osbuild-qemu-autosd10-developer-regular.x86_64.qcow2 is a QEMU developer image for x86_64.

Boot a downloaded image with the air tool:

$ curl -o air \
  "https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/src/automotive-image-builder/-/raw/main/bin/air"
$ chmod +x air
$ ./air --nographics <downloaded-image>.qcow2

Important

Pre-built sample images are for evaluation and development only. Do not use sample images in production.

Get sample manifests

The documentation repository includes a demos/ directory with sample Automotive Image Builder manifests covering common use cases such as minimal images, container embedding, RPM packaging, IPC configuration, and BlueChi orchestration.

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/sig-docs.git
$ ls sig-docs/demos/

Use these manifests with Automotive Image Builder to produce your own disk images. See the Quick Start Guide for a guided walkthrough.

Install Automotive Image Builder

Automotive Image Builder (aib) is the tool that turns manifests into bootable OS images. You can run it from a container or install it natively:

Source code repositories

All AutoSD source code is developed in public GitLab repositories under the CentOS Automotive SIG:
