Although the initial target for AGL +is InVehicle Infotainment(IVI) systems, additional use cases such as instrument clusters and and +telematics systems will eventually be supported.

The requirements are broken up into an overview of the Architecture and a description +of each of the layers in the architecture followed by the requirements for each module in the +various layers. The Architecture Diagram and the layout of the specification take into +consideration all of the components that would be needed for an IVI system; however the are +missing requirements for individual modules. As the spec continues to evolve those sections will +continue to be filled in. +The main goal of this document is to define the core software platform from which applications +can be built. As such, this document does not define application requirements except in a single +case (Home Screen). Application requirements will be developed by various projects that use the +AGL platform. Those application requirements can be used to drive new or revised +requirements into the platform. +At this time there is no plan to use this specification to create a compliance or certification +program. The specification is used as blueprint to guide the overall work of AGL and to derive +work packages for companies and individuals to complete in order to attain the goals of the AGL +Workgroup. + +## Glossary of Terms + + HFP | Hands Free Profile + --------| ------------------------------------- + IBOC | In-Band On Channel + LTSI | Long Term Support Initiative + NTP | Network Time Protocol + OEM | Original Equipment Manufacturer + OS | Operating System + OSS | Open Source Software + SDL | Smart Device Link + STT | Speech to Text + TTS | Text to Speech |
