Auto IWG WP1

Eclipse Automotive Tool Platform
This is work package 1 of the Automotive Industry Working Group.
- Project Lead: Bosch (TBD)
Intent
One key activity of the Eclipse Automotive IWG is to define and provide an Eclipse Automotive Tool Platform consisting of selected existing Eclipse components that are typically required and used in the automotive industry. The intention of this platform is to provide a reference for both vendors and users of Eclipse-based automotive software design tools. It does not necessarily include any content that is really specific to automotive (at least not at the beginning), but will still be a great deal of help for the following reasons:
- It points out which Eclipse projects and components are actively used in the automotive industry.
- It gives an orientation regarding the Eclipse releases and component versions which Eclipse-based automotive software design tools are or should be based on.
- It provides a reference enabling Eclipse-based automotive software design tools to be provided as pluggable components (update sites), as opposed to being shipped only in the form of complete products including the tool itself and the whole Eclipse platform.
- It provides the basis for reliably and consistently integrating Eclipse-based automotive software design tools from different vendors and/or complementary in-house tools to user-defined design tool chains.
- It is complemented by a cross-organizational policy defining
- when and how often the Eclipse Automotive Tool Platform should updated to newer versions of Eclipse
- for how long older versions of the Eclipse Automotive Tool Platform should be actively supported
Concept
The Eclipse Automotive Tool Platform will be made available in the following forms:
- An Eclipse package named "Eclipse IDE for Automotive Software Developers" for download at Eclipse.org
- A corresponding target platform definition attached to this wiki page (might later be moved to a still be to created Git repository for the Eclipse Automotive IWG)
The Eclipse IDE for Automotive Software Developers is intended to address the following use cases:
- As is usage for working on embedded automotive control software
- Base platform for composing user-defined automotive software design tool chains out of vendor-provided tools and complementary in-house tools
- Reference platform for testing automotive software design tools being shipped as pluggable components (update sites)
The target platform definition is provided to support the following use cases:
- As is usage as target platform for the development of automotive software design tools
- Starting point for defining target platforms for the development of automotive software design tools that include all Eclipse Automotive Tool Platform components and complementary components from the Eclipse ecosystem
