The Eclipse eCAL (enhanced Communication Abstraction Layer) provides a middleware that enables scalable, high performance interprocess communication on a single computer node or between different nodes in a computer network. Eclipse eCAL uses a publish-subscribe pattern to automatically connect different nodes in the network. The middleware solution enables rapid prototyping for those high performance distributed meta-applications by providing the following base features:

• intraprocess, interprocess and interhost communication
• different transport layer implementations (shared memory, UDP, TCP)
• different communication patterns as publish/subscribe and server/client
• builtin support for multiple standard message formats like google protobuf, flatbuffers or capnproto
• support for Windows as well as POSIX operating systems
• language bindings to C, C++, C#, Python, Rust, Go, M-Script
• powerful additional tools for live data monitoring, recording and replay

For more, see the official eCAL documentation.

The Eclipse Chariott project aims to develop a metadata-driven middleware/abstraction layer that allows modern programming models to target in-vehicle functions, providing a common way to access the vehicle hardware and sensors, while enhancing the developer journey.

Eclipse SommR provides an automotive grade implementation of the someIP specification for embedded Linux systems together with the required tools to support developers.

ADAAA is example application for Adaptive AUTOSAR with the following goals:

• Provide a tutorial with a simple example code base for getting involved with AUTOSAR methodology and each functional cluster
• Address one of the features available and known as a convenience function in modern cars: the Adaptive Cruise Control functionality
• Provide additional examples to illustrate how to put an AUTOSAR application into an automotive SW development context with its specific processes

Eclipse Velocitas provides an end-to-end, scalable, modular and open source development toolchain for creating containerized and non-containerized in-vehicle applications.

In the ambition to build a technology ecosystem for software-defined vehicle, one of the main challenges will be the combination of the diverse components into a coherent and useful whole: all the software components in the world will not have the impact needed to transform the automotive industry unless we can make them play together coherently and form a functional portfolio.

Eclipse Muto provides an adaptive framework and a runtime platform for dynamically composable model-driven ROS software stacks. Eclipse Muto can be used to introspect, monitor and manipulate the actively running ROS graph (the network of ROS nodes).
