The embedded world Conference covers nine subject areas. We present the topics in loose sequence. Part 3: Embedded Operating Systems.

To the entire conference program

In this area, the topic of open source takes up a lot of space. The opening session entitled "Basics" on the first day has an introductory character and presents Linux, Autosar and Android. Linux will focus on real-time behavior, Autosar will be looked at from the perspective of safety and security and Android will deal with the pitfalls of concrete implementation on an embedded system.
Virtualization and the associated separation of software components have been touted in recent years as a way of getting to grips with the complexity of embedded systems. In the "Virtualization 1" session, the audience will learn that virtual machines do not always run side by side without any feedback, as would be desirable. However, the combination of carefully planned design and suitable analysis tools can provide assistance.

At the beginning of the second day of the conference, there will be an update on current developments in the open source sector in the Operating Systems section - particularly from the perspective of regulations.
particularly from the perspective of regulations and licensing policy. The topic of licensing and compliance will also be addressed in a session held by OSADL (Open Source Development Lab), which will highlight the legal framework and procedures for the legally compliant use of free and open source software. Legal aspects will also be discussed later in connection with security and the use of open source software in medical devices.

Those who use the computer modules of the SMARC standard can find out about an interesting project that also transfers the modular concept to the SMARC software environment. This involves generating a Linux image suitable for the SMARC module with drivers for the hardware interfaces and application frameworks such as Qt, Flutter and Python.
