Open Source Summit Japan & Automotive Linux Summit 2021

With the rise of connected and autonomous vehicles, the key requirement for automotive software systems focuses on safety and security. The need to ensure certification against ISO 26262 and similar safety regulations has been one of the main barriers to choosing AGL for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), automated driving, and safety-critical components. Codethink has been working on a process-driven certification model, allowing practitioners to make credible assertions about the safety of the construction and maintenance of software consumed from open source repositories, in collaboration with ELISA and Exida. This talk will describe the foundation of the certification model, demonstrate the application of the model to construct a system capable of hosting a significant portion of the AGL software distribution, and discuss the implications of this for organizations seeking to consume AGL in a safety-critical context.
