TOKYO, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AGL All Member Meeting – Automotive Grade Linux (AGL), a collaborative project at the Linux Foundation developing the leading open source platform for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), today announced the initial availability of its open source SoDeV reference platform along with five new members: EMQ, Lineo Solutions, MediaTek, VA Linux Systems Japan, and Very Good Ventures.
AGL SoDeV is an open source reference platform for building software-defined vehicles. It combines the AGL Unified Code Base (UCB) with Linux containers, VirtIO, the Xen hypervisor, Zephyr RTOS, and other Linux Foundation projects in a single pre-integrated package that runs on automotive system-on-chips (SoCs), virtual machines, or in the cloud. SoDeV enables automakers and suppliers to decouple software development from hardware availability, accelerating SDV time-to-market.
