Focus of the Audiomanager

The AudioManager is a Deamon that manages all Audio Connections in a GENIVI headunit. It is a managing instance that uses so called RoutingAdaptors to control AudioDomains that then do the "real" connections.

Doxygen Documentation

A very detailed documentation is provided by doxygen, it can be viewed online here: https://genivi.github.io/AudioManager

For generation of the documentaton please compile the AudioManager with

cmake -DWITH_DOCUMENTATION=ON

Bugs and Issues

Version

The current version can be taken out of the git. The version 1.0.0 is the first GENIVI compliant code, in the compliance statement of Discovery (2.0). For every GENIVI release, there is a release of the AudioManager, each of the releases have their own bug fix branch that will get the most important fixes. Development is done on the master branch.

Versioning Scheme

The versioning scheme was decided in the February face2face 2012. The first number describes the release branch. This is 1 for Discovery, 2 for Excalibur and 3 for Foton. For major features or release, the second number will be increased. Each new GENIVI version (releases are every half year, around April and October) will get the current HEAD (for example 2.0.34 for Excalibur) and release with the increase of the second number (2.1). The next commit on the master branch gets then the new first number (3) and starts from zero.

For the daemon the third number (for example 1.0.X) describes the patch version. The versions are automatically created by git during the build process. The versioning scheme is used for the AudioManager daemon itself and for each of it’s interfaces. The versioning of the Interfaces in EA is defined via the tag "version" and the name of the interfaceversion versionName, for example "CommandReceiveVersion". This information is generated into the interface header files and is used then by cmake to set the interface versions. Whenever changes are done, the minor version of the interface needs to be incremented.

Since 7.0, the AudioManager follows a new versioning scheme. Please check the documentation for that.

COMPILE PROGRAMS

Compile Options

These are the compile options with default values:

AudioManager Configuration:

-- BUILD_TESTING                 = ON
-- CommandInterface version: 4.0
-- ControlInterface version: 5.0
-- RoutingInterface version: 5.0

Passing options to cmake:

Standard CMake can be used to configure these options. Tools like ccmake can be used to visually change the values. For each option, some hints are given.

Build dependencies

Basically, all build dependencies are optional- but you might need to use some if you want to have support for Dbus, for example…​

You will need optionally fulfill some dependencies in order to compile the GENIVI AudioManager Daemon, these are:

  • dbus (only when WITH_DBUS_WRAPPER==ON) [tested on version 1.2.16]

  • automotive-dlt [greater 2.5.0] (only when WITH_DLT==ON)

  • doxygen [tested on version 1.6.3] (only when WITH_DOCUMENTATION==ON)

  • commonAPI [version > 3.1.5] (only with WITH_CAPI_WRAPPER), more information here http://projects.genivi.org/commonapi/

  • systemd [ version > 44 ] (only WITH_SYSTEMD_WATCHDOG)

AudioManagerUtilities

In the AudioManagerUtilites you can find helper functions that can be reused by other projects as well. The library can be shipped as a static or a dynamic link library (WITH_SHARED_UTILITIES).

AudioManagerCore

The AudioMangerCore is build as a static (or with WITH_SHARED_CORE) library. Sometimes it is useful for unit testing of a plugin to compile against the core.

CommonAPI Wrapper

The commonapi wrapper provides the mainloop intergration for commonapi into the Mainloop of the audiomanager (CAmSockethandler). In order to use it, just use:

CAPI->registerService(....)
CAPI->buildProxy(...)

instead of the standard calls. The CAPIWrapper will serialize the commands and integrate it smoothly with the mainloop.

Tests

For building the tests, you will need the following packages:

  • python [tested on version 2.6, should work on higher versions as well]

GoogleMock and GoogleTest are as source code integrated in the source tree To install them in a build environment like Ubuntu you can use:

sudo apt-get install python2.6-dev

For compiling, you will need a compiler, linker etc. On most Linux systems you will get this via

sudo apt-get install build-essential

More details in the CMake Files CmakeList.txt in the projects.

Compiling

To compile open a shell, browse to the AudioManager folder and

mkdir /build
cd build
cmake ..
make

The AudioManager executable will be placed in the bin folder of your build folder, tests in a sub folder below.-

In order to install the AudioManager, you can do

sudo make install

this installs everything.
