Automotive Grade Linux Unified Code Base Support

Often known as the ‘Automotive Module’ by our vehicle manufacturer and auto supply chain customers, the SanCloud Automotive Module powers many Infotainment, Instrument Cluster and Telematics innovations.

The Module uses open source software from the Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) Unified Code Base (UCB) platform. The AGL UCB is a Linux distribution built from the ground up through a joint effort by automakers and suppliers to deliver a modern in-vehicle infotainment and connected car experience for consumers. The goal of the UCB infotainment platform is to provide 70-80% of the starting point for a production project. This enables automakers and suppliers to focus their resources on customising the other 20-30% to meet their unique product needs.
