    Resume

    Organization

    The Silicon Valley Automotive Open Source Group is a free, non-commercial network aimed at facilitating communication between software developers, car manufacturers, small businesses, system integrators and hobbyists.

    Tips and tricks

  • Controller-Area Network (CAN) protocol implementations in modern vehicles: a case study of my much-examined 2005 Mazda 3 hatchback
  • A review of American Wheels, Chinese Roads by Michael J. Dunne
  • Instructions for running Ubuntu-IVI Remix on an ExoPC Atom Slate and in a Qemu VM
  • Some notes on getting the HDMI out working on the ExoPC Vibe with MeeGo-IVI, Ubuntu 11.10 and kernel 3.0.0.
  • MeeGo IVI (automotive Linux) running on the Atom-based ExoPC slate
  • Some handy info on Gumstix Overo expansion boards
  • How to induce your Fedora user process to drop core for debugging purposes
  • Running PCBSD and MeeGo under qemu-kvm and qemu-gl
    •

    Projects

  • The OpenICE suite of automotive middleware includes nOBDy, libobd and obdref. OpenICE tools have as their purpose to empower drivers and developers to make more creative use of vehicle data. Deb packages are available from Launchpad for Debian and Ubuntu, with RPMs coming soon.
  • Work on MeeGo at Nokia: hardware-accelerated graphics on Pandaboard, ExoPC, WeTab, crude data mining
  • Embedded Linux Decision Tree (rough sketch; download and improve!)
  • GNU/Linux vs. Android 2.x Graphics Stacks (very rough sketch; download and improve!) Abandoned in favor of superior 0xlab diagrams.
