**AGL Demo**
**A mockup documentation website for GSoD.**
Overview
========
Welcome to the Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) documentation
"Getting Started" page.
This page provides you with a brief overview of the AGL Distribution
and with an introduction to selected topics that can help
you get a quick start using AGL for development.
What is Automotive Grade Linux?
-------------------------------
Automotive Grade Linux is a collaborative, open source project
that brings together automakers, suppliers, and technology companies
for the purpose of building Linux-based, open source software platforms
for automotive applications that can serve as de facto industry
standards.
AGL address all software in the vehicle: infotainment,
instrument cluster, heads-up-display (HUD), telematics, connected car,
advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), functional
safety, and autonomous driving.
Adopting a shared platform across the industry reduces fragmentation
and allows automakers and suppliers to reuse the same code base, which
leads to rapid innovation and faster time-to-market for new products.
AGL is a Linux Foundation project and its goals are as follows:
* Build a single platform for the entire industry
* Develop 70 to 80% of the starting point for a production project
* Reduce fragmentation by combining the best of open source
* Develop an ecosystem of developers, suppliers, and expertise
that all use a single platform
You can find additional overview information on the
"[About Automotive Grade Linux](https://www.automotivelinux.org/about)" page.
You can find information on the AGL Unified Code Base on the
"[Unified Code Base](https://www.automotivelinux.org/software/unified-code-base)"
page.
What Can I Do Right Away Using AGL?
-----------------------------------
The "Getting Started" topics allow you to quickly accomplish some work using
AGL.
You can use the "Getting Started" sections to do the following:
* [Set Up a Docker Container](./docker-container-setup.html) to create a
contained, controlled development environment for building images and
Software Development Kits (SDKs) using AGL.
* [Learn How to Build an AGL Image](./image-workflow-intro.html) by working
through fundamental steps that show you how to build for various supported
hardware targets (e.g. Raspberry PI boards).
* [Learn How to Create an Application](./app-workflow-intro.html) using the
application development workflow.
The AGL community is diverse and supportive.
You can become an active community member that contributes feedback,
ideas, suggestions, bugs and documentation.
* Join the IRC conversation using the `#automotive` channel on
`irc.freenode.net`.
* Subscribe to the AGL discussions mailing list at
[automotive-discussions](http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/automotive-discussions).
* Learn about AGL distribution by visiting the
"[AGL Distribution](https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro)" wiki page.
* Explore further "Getting Started" information by visiting the
"[Getting Started with AGL](https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/start/getting-started)"
wiki page.
* Learn how to contribute by visiting the
"[Contributing to the AGL Distro](https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro/contributing)"
wiki page.
