Renesas Contribution to AGL

4


AGL and R-Car Gen2

R-Car M2 & E2 are Renesas 2nd generation SoCs for Automotive cockpit system (= R-Car Gen2).

Renesas has offered PORTER (R-Car M2)/ SILK (R-Car E2) boards to AGL and PORTER wasselected as AGL reference platform from 2015.

Now PORTER is widely used and many AGL members are maintaining meta-renesas for AGL.

CES ’16 AGL Demo

CES ’17 AGL Demo


Contribution to the AGL Showcase on CES ‘17

AGL Main Demo for CES2017: AGL launched the project on 2016/Nov.

PORTER (R-Car M2) board was selected as the platform of AGL Main demo.

Many AGL members were cooperating & contributing.

Renesas contributed AGL Main Demo development project.

Maintained Kernel/BSP and Wayland

Contributed basic implementation of inter ECU image transfer with H.264 codec

Very successful : having hundreds of visitor!

Performance Comparison Gen2 vs Gen3

• Great Improvement of a performance are provided by R-Car Gen3

e.g. CPU performance*1 : 18 times faster !

R-Car M2 (integrated to Porter) R-Car M3 (Integrated to Starter Kit)

CPU Core Cortex-A15 x 2, 1.5GHz Cortex-A57 x 2, 1.8GHz(+ Cortex-A53 x 4, 1.3GHz) *2

GPU PowerVR SGX544MP2 PowerVR Series6XT GX6250

DRAM DDR3 (dual channel), 2GB LPDDR4 (dual channel), 2GB

Result of SYSbench *1

94.50 sec to complete 5.17 sec to complete (at 1.5GHz)

*1: sysbench --num-threads=2 --test=cpu run*2: Optional patches required to enable A53


Linux BSP Configuration Comparison Gen2 vs Gen3

Deploying the state-of-art latest outcomes of Open Source community.

R-Car Gen3 linux BSP is more suitable for modern Automotive Cockpit/IVI system than R-Car Gen2!

R-Car Starter Kit demo at the demo show caseThe latest Chromium on Wayland demonstration

• This demo is a trial integration of Chromium on AGL (CC). The latest Chromium (ver.57) is

running together with AGL apps (HomeScreen, Navigation and Media Player). Renesas,

Igalia and IoT.bzh have been developing it that runs on Wayland.

• WebGL APIs are supported and Excellent/Rich HTML5 contents for desktop PC can be

rendered by R-Car M3 on-chip GPU without any change. The html5test score is higher

than desktop PC!

New Chromium on M3(ver57 )

Windows 10(ver55)

html5test’s score 517 507

(http://html5test.com)


R-Car Starter Kit Pro AGL support: Current status

Already confirmed with latest “CC” and HomeScreen / AGL Main Demo @ CEC’17

With Yocto Project version 2.1 (Krogoth)

Brand new HomeScreen and window manager

An improved application framework and application manager

Easy to import many AGL assets from PORTER

GPU accelerated Chromium on Wayland is already running

Quite high compatibility proven with “html5test” benchmark

Can be used HTML5 evaluation platform for AGL


R-Car Starter Kit Pro AGL support: Next step

Renesas supports/contributes “DD” development with R-Car Stater Kit Pro.

Renesas distribute BSP for R-Car Starter Kit Pro to AGL community to support DD development.

yocto version of this BSP to be maintained to support the one used in DD

including multimedia acceleration facilities and optimized window system such as HW accelerated image manipulation
