Developing Open Source for Safety and Security

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Open source can meet functional safety but requires concrete limits and automation: a Zephyr LTS auditable subset targets ISO 61508-style certification with MISRA C compliance work, automated traceability and document generation from tests, and a biweekly security working group (Zephyr holds a Best Practices Gold badge). The ELISA (Enabling Linux in Safety-Critical Applications) effort pursues a process-based, upstream-first argument for mainline Linux, plans reference systems (open artificial pancreas, autonomous driving), aims for formal certifications around 2021, and funds developer safety training.
