idrive-apps

Tools and apps for the iDrive 7 head unit (MGU) of a BMW, installed from the mgu Store.

Path
native/cluster-render the cluster renderer: one service that draws every app's layers on the instrument cluster and the HUD, on iDrive 7 and iDrive 8
native/waze-on-cluster the CarPlay map (Waze, Apple Maps or Google Maps), or Android Auto's, on the instrument cluster, drawn through cluster-render
apps/robertn_waze_cluster the iDrive app for it: Enable and Disable for CarPlay and Android Auto, status, Logs
release builds and publishes the Store catalog
tools oap_pack.js, oap_link.js: pack the app

Install

In the Store, add the GitHub source robertnisipeanu/idrive-apps and install Waze on cluster. The Store installs what it requires first: mgu-deploy 0.7.11 from mgu-store, then cluster-render and the Waze tool from here. One head-unit start activates the CarPlay patch, and the Android Auto patch on a car that supports it. The Store removes them again: the app, then the tool, then the renderer.

Build

make -C native/cluster-render test test-x86 target    # host tests; the unit's toolchain and binary (Docker)
make -C native/waze-on-cluster test test-x86 target
node apps/robertn_waze_cluster/tools/test_control.js
node apps/robertn_waze_cluster/tools/test_page.js
node release/test/release_test.js
node release/release.js check                         # reproducible artifacts

Each folder's README has the details; release/README.md covers versions, the catalog and publishing.

License

GPL-3.0-or-later (LICENSE), unless a file's SPDX header says otherwise. What apps compile in or copy from cluster-render, its include/, client/, kit/, js/cluster_render_client.js and PROTOCOL.md, is MPL-2.0 (LICENSES/MPL-2.0.txt). Third-party files keep their own licenses: the RAMSES and vsomeip interfaces in cluster-render (MPL-2.0), the Intel Media SDK headers in waze-on-cluster (MIT), Project Nayuki's QR code generator in robertn_waze_cluster (MIT).
