functionalities with Car Android Auto headunit #2

Closed lucav90 closed 3 years ago

lucav90 commented 3 years ago

Hi,

i m very interest about your software. i have an android auto headunit on my car (original opel intellilink 4.0). i want to use an old phone to connect permatly to android auto of my car but it is not good.

With your software is possibile to use a Odroid N2, connect it on usb of my car, and diplay on my screen car a custom view using the androidauto headunit? if yes, it's great! it is possible simulte android phone but more clean and without all android auto app limits.

regards,

Theoretically yes. Note, however, that this is very early stage of development and I had only chance to test on my VW family car. I tried testing on Fiat Tipo, but didn't work out of the box - more testing to come. If you wish to test on Opel - great, I should be able to provide guidance, but do not expect it to work without problems at first try.

Ok! But the problem Is: i havent the odroid n2 board. I have only a Arduino uno. It a possible another way?

tomasz-grobelny commented 3 years ago

I am afraid that Arduino might not be powerful enough - the communication is based on H264 format so the board need to be powerful enough to encode H264 video signal at headunit's resolution (here it is 800x480) and crypt/decrypt at the same time (SSL).

I think Arduino Is not good for this. I dont want spend Money to buy a board only for a test. A Raspberry Pi 3,4 is ok for this? Your code Is good for a Raspberry?

tomasz-grobelny commented 3 years ago

RPi should be powerful enough, but AFAIK it cannot be connected in USB gadget mode.

I think that the raspberry pi 4 support usb gadget (dwc2)

lucav90 commented 3 years ago

The code on your repo and your istruction are able with Raspberry 4? So if i found a board by friends, i can try to use it, and then we can try to write istruction and test result for this device and my car

tomasz-grobelny commented 3 years ago

If so, then you can give it a try. Code should theoretically work with any board that has gadget mode enabled in kernel (5.4+ requited). Might be some scripts will require fine tuning.

lucav90 commented 3 years ago

it is good Raspberry Pi 0?

janzeiringer commented 3 years ago

In theory yes. But i think that the raspberry pi zero has not enough power for that.

lucav90 commented 3 years ago

my friend has a Raspberry pi 3 not 4 so i haven't device to test it and i can't buy a board only for a test.

But Your project is more interesting!
