Description

Eclipse Kuksa Release 0.1.0

The first Eclipse Kuksa 0.1.0 release contains various software across the domains in-vehicle, cloud, apps, and IDE and focuses primarily on providing fundamental functionalities to setup a cloud environment as well as target devices that interact within this environment.​

Device owners within this environment can select applications over an Appstore and install them on their target device. Such applications can exchange data with or store data in the cloud. Therefore, required software on the device is directly included within images built for (ARM) platforms such as the Raspberry Pi3 via provided build scripts. Furthermore, developers can publish new applications to the Appstore and register new devices for specific Appstore users.
