ELISA Project at embedded world

By Blog, Industry Conference

The world of embedded systems is multifaceted – from hardware and software to services and tools. The embedded world Exhibition & Conference brings the entire embedded community together once a year in Nuremberg and provides a unique overview of the state-of-the-art in this versatile industry.  Last year, the conference hosted 952 exhibitors and 26,630+ visitors from all over the world. This years event, scheduled for April 9-11, is expected to be even larger.

Enabling Linux in Safety Applications (ELISA) Project will be at the event in the Collabora booth (Hall 4- booth 404) with a system demonstrator.

The ELISA System Demonstrator:

  • Heterogenous example system, fully based on Open Source, consisting of Linux, Zephyr (RTOS), and Xen (Virtualization) 
  • Represents recent SW architectures found in industries like Automotive Software Defined Vehicles and Aerospace 
  • Focus on reproducibility as blueprint for future systems 
  • Running on Xilinx Ultrascale ZCU102 and on qemu 
  • GitHub documentation & Gitlab CI 
  • Various use cases documented like device pass through of SD card and NIC, para virtualization of network and different Linux guests

Certifying Linux: State of the Art and Lessons Learned after Eight Years

By Blog, Seminar Series

In 2018, in the course of the SIL2LinuxMP project, we summarized the knowledge gained around research questions and suggested potential solutions using Linux in safety-related systems in the paper “Certifying Linux: Lessons Learned in Three Years of SIL2LinuxMP.” Since then, the activities using Linux in safety-related systems has continued to attract more experts and more commercial attention. However, it is still a challenging activity to pursue. In this video, we explain, reflect and comment the areas of work and activities that have been followed the next five years throughout the industry and how they relate, complement initial ideas that were collected in the SIL2LinuxMP project.

As part of the ELISA Seminar series, Lukas Bulwahn, Safety Software Key Expert at Elektrobit, gave a presentation titled, “Certifying Linux: State of the Art and Lessons Learned after 8 Years.“

 

The ELISA Seminar Series focuses on hot topics related to ELISA’s mission to define and maintain a common set of elements, processes and tools that can be incorporated into Linux-based, safety-critical systems amenable to safety certification. Speakers are members, contributors and thought leaders from the ELISA Project and surrounding communities. Each seminar comprises a 45-minute presentation and a 15-minute Q&A, and it’s free to attend. You can watch all videos on the ELISA Project Youtube Channel ELISA Seminar Series Playlist here.

Using Linux in Safety Scenarios

By Blog, Working Group

Written by Igor Stoppa, Senior Software Architect at NVIDIA and ELISA Project contributor

The ELISA Project’s Open-Source Engineering Process (OSEP) Working Group examines how software engineering processes can be used to facilitate the certification of safety-critical systems incorporating Linux and other FOSS. They aim to consider the roles that a Linux-based OS might have in such systems, and identify how FOSS developers, system integrators and product creators can specify these, and provide evidence to support associated safety arguments.

These documents below, which were contributed to the ELISA PROJECT OSEP WG are intended to help functional safety professionals, linux kernel developers, assessors and oems find a common ground:

1. Checklist of FuSa woes associated to Linux in a safety context
2. Contextualizing safety requirements in the scope of a Linux system
3. Analyzing interference within a Linux System based on arm

Although they are not written in the formal language typical of Functional Safety, they cover important technical aspects that might not be obvious to those who are not familiar with Linux.

They can also help with introducing FuSa concepts to Linux engineers and can be a supporting tool to anyone trying to reach safety goals on a system based on Linux.

Ideally, they can help both assessors and OEMs who are either transitioning or considering the transition to a Linux based system, in evaluating the offerings and FuSa solutions that they have available.
