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.
