Status of Embedded Linux - Tim Bird, Sony Electronics & Marta Rybczynska, Ygreky

Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST

D201

In this talk, Marta and Tim will give an overview of updates with Linux in the embedded space that have come about in the past year. We will discuss recent developments in the Linux kernel that are of interest to embedded developers, which may include topics such as filesystems, networking, tracing, real-time, power management, security, testing and more. We will also talk about community, industry and legal news related to Linux in embedded systems, including things like the status of major processor architectures, projects at the Linux Foundation, and other relevant community projects. It is hoped that through this talk, developers can learn about changes to the kernel, or initiatives in the industry that might benefit their own embedded Linux development. Come to this session and find out what's new with embedded Linux!

Fail-Safe Embedded Linux: Designing for Power Resilience - Sergio Prado, Embedded Labworks

Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST

D201

Unexpected power cuts can lead to corrupted filesystems, lost data, and even bricked devices in embedded Linux systems. Ensuring resilience against power failures is critical for reliability in industrial, automotive, and IoT applications. This talk will explore strategies to make embedded Linux systems fail-safe against power interruptions. We’ll cover filesystem choices (JFFS2, UBIFS, F2FS, etc.), journaling and atomic writes, strategies for bootloader and firmware redundancy, and hardware-based solutions such as supercapacitors and secure storage. Real-world examples and debugging techniques will be presented to help engineers design robust, power-resilient systems. By the end of this session, attendees will have a practical understanding of how to safeguard their embedded Linux devices against power failures, reducing field failures and improving system reliability.

Implementing Bluetooth LE Audio & Auracast on Embedded Linux Systems - George Kiagiadakis, Collabora

Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST

D201

Bluetooth LE Audio and its Auracast feature represent the next generation of wireless audio technology. LE Audio enables efficient, high-quality sound transmission designed for modern use cases, while Auracast introduces one-to-many audio broadcasting capabilities that open up exciting possibilities in delivering novel listening experiences.

This talk will discuss the practical implementation of these technologies on embedded Linux systems using open source software that is available today. Specifically, it will focus on BlueZ, the official Linux Bluetooth protocol stack, and PipeWire, the standard audio server on modern Linux systems that implements connection to Bluetooth audio devices, among several other things.

Attendees will gain practical insights into integrating LE Audio and Auracast on embedded platforms, along with an overview of the current support status and key challenges.

The Cost of Security: Measuring and Reducing Boot-Time Impact - Michael Olbrich, Pengutronix

Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST

D201

As security becomes a top priority in embedded systems, features like Secure Boot are more critical than ever. However, these protections often come at the cost of increased boot time — a trade-off that’s especially painful in performance-sensitive environments.

This talk will look at the steps necessary for Secure Boot and typical security hardening features and examine the impact they have on boot speed, highlighting real-world examples and measurable overheads.

We will explore practical techniques to mitigate these slowdowns, and show how a well designed software architecture can help you achieve both faster and more secure boot processes.

Producing a Complete Linux System With a Single Command (and Configuration File) With Yocto - Alexander Kanavin, Linutronix

Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST

D201

The Yocto project is a toolkit for creating custom Linux distributions for the embedded use cases. Historically it has not provided tools and standards for setting up and replicating build configurations in a reproducible manner, leaving that to third party projects and custom scripts. In the past few months this has been changing, and many of the pieces are now available out of the box in oe-core/poky, or are under review. This talk will give an overview of what is available and how it can be used to both write a record of how to build a complete system, and to replicate that build elsewhere with that record. It will also cover parts that still need to be added, and possible future directions for build configuration management.
