It is a reference application of Automotive Grade Linux applied to a RV, Campervan, Overland Rig use case.
Dual-encoder infotainment head unit: a touchscreen and two rotary encoders, each with a round display and an RGB LED ring, running Automotive Grade Linux on a Radxa Dragon Q6A or a Raspberry Pi CM5. Part of the TrailCurrent open-source vehicle platform.
The UI is a Qt 6 / Qt Quick app drawn straight to the display, with no compositor in between, so the head unit boots fast. Navigation (map, destination search and turn-by-turn routing) is fully offline, using the same map bundles as TrailCurrent Headwaters. A "Hey Peregrine" voice assistant (directions, calls, texts, music and the radio) also runs entirely on the head unit, its language model on the Dragon Q6A's NPU. So do FM radio, weather radio and a scope of the aircraft and ships nearby, from an RTL-SDR USB dongle.
