However to minimize technical issues\, we’d appreciate most of the content presenters being in-person. \nThe in-person venue is the Toranomon Hills Forum\, Tokyo\, Japan. \n\nLPC Microconference\n\n\nA microconference contains several sessions based on the same general topic. Each session will be between 15 to 30 minutes in length and be discussion oriented. \nSafe Systems with Linux MC \nAs Linux continues to be deployed in systems with varying criticality constraints\, progress needs to be made in establishing consistent linkage between code\, tests\, and requirements\, to improve overall efficiency and ability to support necessary analysis.\nThis MC addresses critical challenges in expectation management (aka requirements tracking)\, documentation\, testing\, and artifact sharing within the Linux kernel ecosystem. While tests are contributed for the code\, traditionally the underlying requirement that the tests satisfies is likewise not documented in a structured manner. This has resulted in a large amount of “tribal knowledge” associated with subsystems\, which results in technical debt when maintainers stop working on subsystems. \nTaking in the feedback from last year’s “Safe Systems with Linux” miniconference 1\, on how we can improve the documentation of the kernel’s design [1a] the ELISA (Enabling Linux in Safety Applications) community has focused on prototyping a template for capturing the requirements with volunteer linux kernel subsystem maintainers. The ELISA architecture team 2 has been meeting weekly and has developed a structured approach for documenting testable expectations with a template that allows embedding requirements directly with relevant code (as requested in the initial workshop) while maintaining machine readability and forming a base for improving testing with initiatives like KernelCI. The prototype format got initial review and feedback in December at the ELISA workshop at Goddard [3] and after incorporating that feedback in the workshop in Lund in May [4]. \nInitial pilots in the TRACING subsystem [5] have demonstrated the value of this approach\, even resulting in the identification and fixing of previously unknown issues. [6\,7]\nBuilding on the last year’s discussions\, the goal of this miniconference is to get wider feedback from additional maintainers and developers of different subsystems on the approach being proposed. \nPotential Topics\n\nProgress on Linux Kernel Requirements Framework\nDiscussing the SPDX-based template for low-level requirements\, lessons learned from initial pilots\, and plans for wider adoption.\nTechnical Debt Reduction\nHow documented requirements capture understanding of original functionality\, and can be leveraged for verification when code needs to be rewritten (ie. C to Rust)\, etc.\nRequirements-Driven Testing\nHow documented requirements can drive test case development and validation. Connecting relevant test cases with specific requirements and code\, should be able to yield more efficient testing.\nSemantic Aspects of Kernel Requirements\nExploring how to properly document expected behaviors with consideration for design elements that impact or are impacted by these behaviors.\nPractical Implementation Challenges\nAddressing the balance between detailed requirements documentation and maintaining kernel development velocity.\nRequired tools for automation\nProgress on tools to generate\, validate\, and track work products increasing dependability throughout the kernel development process.\nIndustry Adoption\nHow safety-critical industries are beginning to leverage these developments for certification and compliance purposes. How their safety engineers can participate in contributing formalized requirements to the kernel and providing linkage.\nRequirements as an Education Tool\nHow linux kernel documentation can mine the requirements\, and help new contributors understand kernel functionality and design intent and attract new upsteam developers\n\nSession Highlights:\n\nAspects of Dependable Linux Systems – Kate Stewart (Linux Foundation)\, Philipp Ahmann (Etas GmbH (BOSCH)) – 12 Dec 2025\, 10:00\nNVIDIA Approach for Achieving ASIL B Qualified Linux: minimizing expectations from upstream kernel processes -Igor Stoppa (nvidia) -12 Dec 2025\, 10:10am\nApplying Program Verification to Linux Kernel Code: Challenges\, Practices\, and Automation – Keisuke Nishimura – 12 Dec 2025\, 10:35\nDefining and maintaining requirements in the Linux Kernel – Chuck Wolber\, Gabriele Paoloni (Red Hat)\, Kate Stewart (Linux Foundation) – 12 Dec 2025\, 11:00\nKUnit Testing Insufficiencies – Matthew Whitehead (The Boeing Company) – 12 Dec 2025\, 12:00\nExploring possibilities for integrating StrictDoc with ELISA’s requirements template approach for the Linux kernel – Tobias Deiminger (Linutronix GmbH) – 12 Dec 2025\, 12:25\nBASIL: Open Source Traceability for Safety-Critical Systems” – Luigi Pellecchia – 12 Dec 2025\, 12:40\nTooling and Sharing Traceability Discussion – Luigi Pellecchia\, Matthew Whitehead (The Boeing Company)\, Tobias Deiminger (Linutronix GmbH) – 12 Dec 2025\, 12:55\nWrap up and next steps – Kate Stewart (Linux Foundation)\, Philipp Ahmann (Etas GmbH (BOSCH)) – 12 Dec 2025\, 13:20\n\nLearn more about the sessions here. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Meet ELISA Project at FOSDEM 2025
DESCRIPTION:How many of you are planning to attend FOSDEM 2025? \nAre you planning to speak at the event or attend as an participant to learn? \nWhat topics excite you the most this year? Whether you are interested in embedded systems\, open source innovation\, safety or security\, FOSDEM 2025 promises to be a hub of activity for everyone in the developer community. \nThis time there will be talks from the ELISA Project community. You will have the chance to meet the community ambassadors\, some of whom will be available at the Zephyr Project stand at Building K\, Level 1. \nDon’t miss the opportunity to engage with these experts and learn about the latest developments in the ELISA community! \nMark your calendar to attend these ELISA Project talks! \nSaturday\, February 1:\nEnhancing Testing Strategies for Critical Systems: Statistical Path Coverage\n\nTrack: Testing and Continuous Delivery\nSpeaker: Imanol Allende\, OpenTech GmbH\nRoom: UD6.215\nDay: Saturday\nStart: 10:30\nEnd: 10:55\n\nModern embedded and autonomous systems are pushing the boundaries of software complexity\, especially in critical applications. Traditional testing methods often struggle to meet the demands of these systems\, particularly when operating on resource-sharing architectures running complex operating systems like Linux. To address this challenge\, we introduce Statistical Path Coverage (SPC)\, a novel statistical approach designed to enhance test effectiveness by statistically focusing on the execution paths exercised by target applications. \nThis presentation will discuss how SPC can quantify execution path coverage\, estimate the risk of untested paths\, and support assurance. We will also introduce DB4SIL\, a tool leveraging FTrace to collect and analyze execution traces\, enabling actionable insights into the kernel’s behavior during testing campaigns. Through examples\, we will demonstrate how SPC and DB4SIL can guide developers in prioritizing testing efforts\, improving test coverage\, enabling continuous monitoring\, and reducing risk in complex\, software-driven systems. \nThe Trustable Software Framework: A new way to measure risk in continuous delivery of critical software\n\nTrack: Testing and Continuous Delivery\nSpeaker: Paul Sherwood\, Codethink\nRoom: UD6.215\nStart: 11:00\nEnd: 11:25\n\nMany of the international standards for software in critical systems (e.g. IEC 61508\, ISO 26262) are published under restrictive licences\, at high prices. They broadly discourage the use of FOSS\, by imposition of processes that do not align with modern open source best practices such as continuous delivery and automated testing. As a result some industries such as automotive\, medical and aerospace\, are locked in to proprietary software. \nThis talk will introduce the Trustable Software Framework (TSF)\, a new free and open source project which establishes an evidence-based method for measuring the actual risks involved in continuous delivery of software in critical systems. \nTSF is applicable over the entire software supply chain\, including CICD tools and infrastructure\, build dependencies\, operating systems\, target applications and test environments\, and is intended to measure risk on projects delivering critical systems which demand reliability\, availability\, security and safety. \nObtaining Safety & Security Certifications for L4Re\n\nTrack: Microkernel and Component-Based OS\nSpeaker: Marcus Hähnel\nRoom: UB4.136\nDay: Saturday\nStart: 16:50\nEnd: 17:15\n\nIn this talk I will share some details on the path towards the recently obtained Security (EAL4+\, German GEHEIM) and Safety (ISO26262 ASIL-B\, SIL-2) certifications that have been achieved for the L4Re Operating System Framework. I will show some details on where generic software development\, operating systems\, and third-party code clash with the expectations of the safety norms. I will also shed some light on the challenges we face in maintaining these certifications while staying true to the open source nature of the system with contributions form a multitude of actors from various fields. I will conclude with an outlook of the things to come and how we want to ensure that open source microkernel-based operating systems can be a vital cornerstone to safe & secure systems. \nSunday\, February 2:\nIntro to the SPDX Functional Safety Model\n\nTrack: Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)\nSpeaker: Nicole Pappler\, Alektometis.com\nRoom: H.2213\nDay: Sunday\nStart: 09:30\nEnd: 10:00\n\nWhile SPDX provides with its relationships already a good starting base to model the internal dependencies\, setting all actions and work products that are part of a functional safety release of a project sparked some discussions in the Functional Safety community. This talk lines out the main discussion points with the different viewpoints discussed in the SPDX FuSa group\, along with matching prototype models. \nBASIL an open source tool that supports requirements traceability with design SBOM\n\nTrack: Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)\nSpeaker: Luigi Pellecchia\, Red Hat\nRoom: H.2213\nDay: Sunday\nStart: 13:30\nEnd: 14:00\n\n\n\nBASIL is an open source software quality management tool that has been developed to simplify the definition and maintenance of traceability matrix in Safety Critical applications. Even if BASIL provides several features as the management of quality related work items and a test execution framework\, usually in critical applications we have to deal with complex toolchains. Due to that it is mandatory to have a way to share data between tools in a consistent way. Join us in a session where we will see how BASIL is supporting SPDX to share quality related work items as a SBOM. \n\n\nAutomotive BOF\n\n Track: BOF – Track B\n Room: H.3242\n Day: Sunday\n Start: 13:00\n End: 14:00\n\nThis Birds of a Feather (BoF) session at FOSDEM will focus on the growing intersection of open source and the automotive industry\, highlighting the latest advancements\, challenges\, and opportunities for collaboration. As the automotive sector increasingly adopts open-source software\, it is driving innovation in areas such as in-vehicle systems\, autonomous driving\, and vehicle connectivity. Key projects like Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) and the ELISA (Enabling Linux in Safety Applications) initiative are at the forefront of this transformation\, providing open-source frameworks for developing scalable\, secure\, and reliable automotive software. This session will bring together developers\, engineers\, and enthusiasts to discuss how these initiatives are shaping the future of mobility and explore how open-source communities can work together to solve the unique challenges of the automotive domain. \nAttendees will have the opportunity to share experiences\, discuss key technical topics such as real-time operating systems\, safety-critical systems\, and compliance with automotive standards (e.g.\, ISO 26262)\, and explore potential new collaborations. The session will delve into the importance of open standards\, the growing need for security in connected vehicles\, and how projects like AGL and ELISA enable safer\, more efficient automotive software development. By fostering cross-industry dialogue and strengthening the automotive open-source ecosystem\, this session aims to inspire future collaborations that can help define the next generation of smart\, connected\, and autonomous vehicles. \nIf you would like to meet our community experts at FOSDEM or you have any project related questions\, please feel free to contact us at info@elisa.tech. \nWe look forward to meeting you!

SUMMARY:FOSDEM (Brussels\, Belgium)
DESCRIPTION:FOSDEM\, which takes place on February 3-4 in Brussels\, is a free event for software developers to meet\, share ideas and collaborate. Every year\, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. This event is expecting 636 speakers\, 591 events\, and 65 tracks. \nThe ELISA Project will be featured in a presentation on Saturday\, February 3. For more information or to register for the event\, visit the FOSDEM website. \n2:30 pm – 2:55 pm: How open source projects approach Functional Safety – Nicole Pappler & Philipp Ahmann \nOpen Source is a winning solution for many industries already – and now even safety critical applications want to make use of it. While “security” is a capability of open source since many years\, a few years ago using open source in safety critical applications seemed to be impossible even to think about. Nowadays it has become a valid option for upcoming applications. This kind of application that should save lives\, or at least not harm anyone. However\, with advancements in technology and safety integrity standards\, open source is becoming a valid option for upcoming safety critical applications. This talk will provide an overview of how open source projects approach their integration to safety critical applications. Depending on the expectations of these applications\, there are different solutions to address their needs. The talk will introduce example projects such as ELISA\, the Zephyr Project\, and the Xen Project\, which are currently addressing these expectations with various mechanisms and approaches. \nCheck out other Zephyr-related sessions here.  \nTo view the complete schedule and dev rooms like SBOM\, Embedded\, Automotive and more\, visit the main event website: https://fosdem.org/2024/

SUMMARY:Linux Plumbers Conference (Richmond\, Virginia)
DESCRIPTION:The Linux Plumbers Conference\, the premier event for developers working at all levels of the plumbing layer and beyond\, takes place in Richmond\, Virginia on November 13-15. The event will be in-person at the Omni Richmond Hotel and remotely\, however most of the presenters will be in-person. Learn more about the conference on the main conference website. \n \nELISA will be represented in a presentation by Philipp Ahmann\, Technical Business Development Manager at Robert Bosch GmbH and Chair of the ELISA Project Technical Steering Committee. The session has been accepted but not yet scheduled. As details are updated\, we’ll update our event listing. \nNovember 14 at 4:30 – 5:15 pm: Putting Linux into Context – Towards a reproducible example system with Linux\, Zephyr & Xen \nDemos on embedded systems using Linux are plentiful\, but when it comes to reproducing them\, things get complicated. Additionally\, on decent embedded systems Linux is only one part of the system and interacts with real-time operating systems and virtualization solutions. This makes reproduction even harder. \nWithin the Linux Foundation’s ELISA project\, we started to create a reproducible example system consisting of Linux\, Xen\, and Zephyr on real hardware. This is the next step after we achieved a reproducible system with a pure Linux qemu image. \nThe idea is to have documentation\, a continuous integration including testing\, which can be picked up by developers to derive and add their own software pieces. In this way they should be able to concentrate on their use case rather than spending effort in creating such a system (unless they explicitly want this). We also show how to build everything from scratch. The assumption is that only in this way it is possible to get a system understanding to replace elements towards their specific use cases. \nWe had challenges finding good hardware\, tools\, freely available GPU drivers and more and we are still not at the end. A good system SBOM is also creating additional challenges\, although leveraging the Yocto build system has provided some advantages here. \nWhile we are setting up the first hardware with documentation from source to build to deployment and testing on embedded hardware\, we aim to have at least two sets of all major system elements like Linux flavor\, a choice of virtualization technique\, real-time OS and hardware. Only when software elements and hardware can be exchanged\, we identify clear interfaces and make a system reproducible and adoptable. \nOpen Questions are: \n\nWhat will be a good next hardware to extend this PoC scope?\nWhere do open source\, security\, safety\, and compliance come best together?\nWhich alternative real-time operating systems and virtualization should be incorporated?
