# Event Details - **Event Name**: Eclipse SDV Hackathon Chapter Four - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 06 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 am – Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+02:00) - **Event Description**: BUILD. COLLABORATE. INNOVATE. Register here: https://www.eclipse-foundation.events/event/sdv-hackathon-chapter-four/registerAbout this EventMore details here: https://www.eclipse-foundation.events/event/sdv-hackathon-chapter-four/summaryThis year, participants can choose between two distinct tracks, designed to support both application-focused innovation and core project development.Track 1: Hackathon ChallengeApplication & InnovationThis track is designed for teams that want to create compelling software solutions on top of the Eclipse SDV ecosystem. Choose between two challenges.Participants will build on pre-integrated Eclipse SDV technologies and focus on:Application developmentUser experience and functionalityInnovative use casesBusiness value and final pitch presentationTeams will showcase their solutions to a panel of judges, demonstrating both technical excellence and real-world impact.Challenge 1: Doctor Whodunit!!Something in the vehicle just failed — whodunit? Travel your system's timeline: inject faults you've seen before or expect in the future, and let the evidence tell the story.Build a safety evidence factory around the Battery Thermal Guardian — an EV thermal-runaway early-warning service. Regulations require occupants be warned minutes before a battery thermal event turns dangerous, so a stale or stuck cell-temperature signal silently disarms the entire warning chain. Run the Guardian on an AutoSD-based runtime, supervised by Ankaios, exchanging heartbeat, fault, and mitigation events over uProtocol, with diagnostic truth exposed through OpenSOVD. openDuT replays repeatable fault campaigns at three levels — delayed or duplicated messages, stuck or implausible VSS signals, even device-level sensor dropout — while your evidence collector links hazard → safety goal → injected fault → detection → mitigation → verdict for every test, packaged as a reusable SDV Blueprint.Every fault leaves evidence. Solve the case.Prerequisites: Basic Rust or Python, Linux/containers, pub/sub messagingProjects: openDuT, uProtocol, Ankaios, OpenSOVD, KUKSA, AutoSD, S-CORE, SDV BlueprintsHack Coaches: Naci Dai, Leonardo Rossetti, Frank Märkle, Ramachandran Chakravadhanula, Svante Karlsson, Rakshith Mandya Nanjundaswamy, Shriram Gobichettipalayam RamalingamChallenge 2: Hack to the FutureYour DeLorean is waiting. Build an SDV feature that jumps between hardware and virtual setups: develop it against simulated endpoints, then move it onto embedded controllers and real cars without changing your service code. uProtocol keeps services portable across platforms and transports, and openDuT rewires the testbench on the fly, so switching setups means no replugging of cables.The reference scenario is the Guardian Loop, a child presence detection feature of the kind Euro NCAP now rewards in its safety ratings: a child left in a parked car is at risk as the cabin heats up, so a sensor detects occupancy and rising temperature, a decision service on an AutoSD-built HPC image evaluates the risk, and an OpenBSW-based zonal controller responds by opening a window, running the fan, or sounding the alarm. As a stretch goal, drive the on-site Flux Capacitor and Time Circuits displays from your services.Where we're going, we don't need cables!Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of Rust and C++, Linux/containers, pub/sub messagingProjects: uProtocol, openDuT, OpenBSW, AutoSDHack coaches: Frank Märkle, Christian Schilling, Leonardo Rossetti, Akshai Murukakumar, Svante Karlsson, Shriram Gobichettipalayam RamalingamTrack 2: Freestyle TrackIntegration & Feature DevelopmentThe Freestyle Track is for contributors who want to work directly within Eclipse SDV projects and help advance the ecosystem itself.Participants will:Develop new features and capabilitiesCreate integrations and interfacesImprove existing project functionalityContribute directly to Eclipse SDV open source projectsThis track is ideal for developers looking to make meaningful technical contributions while collaborating closely with project maintainers and community experts. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/friedrichshafen/eclipse-sdv-hackathon-chapter-four/100001998344883340 - **Event Categories**: contests, it, hackathons - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: EUR ## Event venue details - **city**: Friedrichshafen - **state**: BW - **country**: Germany - **location**: Zeppelin University - **lat**: 47.6658926 - **long**: 9.4487732 - **full address**: Zeppelin University, Fallenbrunnen 3, Friedrichshafen, Germany ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Eclipse SDV Hackathon Chapter Four - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/9e91a936e68514066bd137a4d5096697ab9b67dfe6a4bf36a66ffcea52aa3e75-rimg-w1200-h675-dc280858-gmir.jpg?v=1787405560 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Eclipse SDV Hackathon Chapter Four being held? - **A:** Eclipse SDV Hackathon Chapter Four takes place on Tue, 06 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 am to Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Zeppelin University, Fallenbrunnen 3, Friedrichshafen, Germany. - **Q**: Who is organizing Eclipse SDV Hackathon Chapter Four? - **A:** Eclipse SDV Hackathon Chapter Four is organized by Eclipse Foundation. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Eclipse Foundation's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Eclipse Foundation a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
