Navigating Security Tradeoffs in Embedded Linux Systems - Olivier Benjamin, Bootlin
Monday August 25, 2025 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
Embedded systems vary wildly in purpose, characteristics and usage. They are therefore faced with very different adversaries, that engineers and designers must take into account to achieve a secure system or product.
The tradeoff between security and convenience can only be properly arbitrated by evaluating the benefits of each security measure against the cost of its implementation, and the added complexity to the system, which will eventually be surfaced to the user.

In this talk, we will explore the security guarantees of various
security measures popular in embedded Linux systems: Secure Boot, Disk encryption, dm-verity, Secure Enclaves as well as someapplication-level security features from the point of view of what they bring to a system, and what they cost to the implementer or theuser. Ultimately, we will present what type of systems they are a good fit for, and which systems are probably better off not using them.

Open Source for ESIM Integration - Harald Welte, sysmocom GmbH
Monday August 25, 2025 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
When integrating eSIMs into a Linux based embedded device, one of the questions is how to manage that eSIM. In case of SGP.21 consumer eSIM or the new SGP.31 IoT eSIM, some software component for management and download of eSIM profiles (LPA or IPA) is required. In the past, this was mostly achieved by proprietary software.

More recently, Free and Open Source Software alternatives for this have materialized, like the "lpac" software. This talk covers those projects, what you can do with them and how to integrate them in your cellular-enabled embedded device. 

The talk will also compare this approach of eSIM integration with other approaches such as the venerable SGP.02 M2M eSIM or using an eUICC-integrated LPA/IPA (LPAe/IPAe).

Why Won't My CPU Sleep? Debugging CPUIdle Mysteries on ARM SoCs - Dhruva Gole, Texas Instruments India Ltd & Kevin Hilman, BayLibre, Inc.
Monday August 25, 2025 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
Linux power management has relied on CPUIdle to transition CPUs into low-power states for a long time. More recently, suspend-to-idle (s2idle) was added which relies heavily on the CPUidle infrastructure to support system-wide suspend & resume using low-power idle states.

On modern Arm SoCs, deeper idle states can shut down not just the CPU, but also local per-CPU timers, interrupt controllers and peripherals, sometimes leading to unexpected entry-exit failures, scheduling delays, and even system hangs.
Debugging such issues can be complex since common debug methods may not be available in low-power modes and because the kernel, platform-specific firmware and dedicated hardware all interact to enable low-power modes. Therefore, debugging requires a good understanding of the CPUIdle internals, PSCI firmware interactions and wakeup timer behavior.

Through real-world case studies, attendees will learn how to trace idle state transitions, identify CPU wakeup failures, ARM Trusted Firmware's PSCI framework internals and apply effective debugging strategies to ensure correct working of the CPUIdle framework on their ARM Linux systems.

Snag It, Flash It, Ship It: Rethinking Factory Flashing With Open Tools - Romain Gantois, Bootlin & Paresh Bhagat, Texas Instruments
Monday August 25, 2025 09:55 - 10:35 CEST
Factory flashing is a critical stage in the lifecycle of any embedded product. It can quickly become a bottleneck in the supply chain, and its correct execution is essential to ensure that shipped devices are both fully functional and secure. Today’s available tools are often closed-source and tightly coupled to specific vendors, limiting flexibility and making customization difficult.

In 2023, Bootlin introduced Snagboot—an open-source, vendor-agnostic tool designed for recovering and reflashing embedded platforms. Building on this foundation, Bootlin and Texas Instruments collaborated in 2024 to expand Snagboot into a comprehensive factory flashing solution, maintaining its open-source and vendor-neutral nature.

In this talk, we’ll present Snagboot as a recovery and reflashing solution, highlighting its core tools, snagrecover and snagflash. We’ll then dive into the unique challenges of factory flashing and explain how our extended toolset—Snagfactory—addresses them effectively.

TPM Is No Silver Bullet: Pitfalls in Embedded Device Security - David Gstir, sigma star gmbh
Monday August 25, 2025 09:55 - 10:35 CEST
With the growing adoption of TPMs (Trusted Platform Modules) in the Linux ecosystem, thanks to features like TPM-backed disk encryption in systemd and the longstanding use in Windows BitLocker, TPM chips are seeing a resurgence as a go-to for secure secret storage. This trend is increasingly making its way into embedded devices. Often as a measure to fulfill NIS2, EU Cyber Resilience Act or similar requirements.

However, embedded systems present a vastly different threat model compared to desktops or servers, and TPMs often don’t deliver the level of security many developers assume. In this talk, David will demystify TPM functionality in embedded Linux environments. He will give a concise overview of security threats for embedded devices and where a TPM can and or where it cannot. Special focus will be put on using TPMs for disk encryption and integrity.

The session will wrap up with a discussion of alternative approaches, other usage scenarios for TPMs, and how to make informed decisions when designing secure embedded systems.

Cryptography Support in Zephyr: Recent Changes and Upcomings - Valerio Setti, BayLibre
Monday August 25, 2025 09:55 - 10:35 CEST
In the last year Zephyr’s cryptographic support saw a lot of changes, the main ones being the deprecation of TinyCrypt and an increased usage of PSA Crypto API following the long standing goal to move toward a common interface for crypto operations.

The main reason for TinyCrypt deprecation is basically that it’s no longer maintained so it cannot get any security fix/improvement nor be adapted to the upcoming PSA interface. This basically leaves Mbed TLS as the only crypto provider in Zephyr, which can either used directly (i.e. building Mbed TLS as library to be linked against other Zephyr’s ones) or being integrated in TF-M image.

This talk will start from an overview of the recent history of Zephyr’s crypto support, presenting reasons for TinyCrypt deprecation and the adoption of PSA Crypto API. The focus will then shift toward Mbed TLS as the only crypto library available today in Zephyr, its layers (TLS and crypto), how it relates to TF-M and the recent improvements added to reduce footprint problems. In the last part of the talk we’ll focus on the future plans for Mbed TLS: what to expect from the next release which is expected in September 2025 and vendor driver support.

Running Zephyr in a Light Bulb - Alexandre Bailon, BayLibre
Monday August 25, 2025 09:55 - 10:35 CEST
For many years, we have seen more and more connected devices entering our homes. In most cases, these devices run closed source software, which relies on cloud servers to work and is not always respectful of our privacy.

Alexandre Bailon, who is not really satisfied with the current offerings, has been looking for an alternative using Zephyr.

He has taken an existing device and developed a Zephyr firmware for it. He will present the technologies already available or in development to build a connected light bulb using Zephyr which should be more robust, secure, and respectful of privacy.

The Hypervisor Hierarchy: Why Architecture Matters for Performance, Security, and Flexibility - Cody Zuschlag, Xen Project (Linux Foundation)
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Not all hypervisors are created equal. Some claim to be "bare metal" but rely on an underlying OS, while others truly separate hardware from workloads, enhancing security, stability, and performance. This session breaks down the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors, why some architectures blur the lines, and how Xen stands apart as a true, independent Type 1 hypervisor. We’ll explore how Xen can run with dom0 or dom0less, offering flexibility for both dynamic and fixed VM environments. We’ll also discuss how Xen’s streamlined, unified ecosystem avoids the fragmentation seen in other virtualization stacks. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of why hypervisor design matters and how it impacts security, efficiency, and long-term infrastructure choices.

32-bit Linux Support Now and in the Future - Arnd Bergmann, Linaro
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Over the last few years, 64-bit Linux has made it from Servers, PCs and high-end embedded machines lower down in the market, everywhere including the smallest embedded Linux targets. This gives new challenges for users that rely on existing 32-bit hardware being kept up to date, while new features development and testing on those machines keeps winding down.

Arnd gives an overview of which 32-bit systems are still supported, and how long that is going to be the case. This covers modern ARMv7/v8 hardware, older ARMv4/v5/v6 machines, and other embedded CPU architectures.

Specific issues include MMU-less microcontrollers, large memory, small memory, 32-bit userland on 64-bit hardware and the state of the 2038 epochalypse.

Clocking Strategies in the Linux Kernel: Optimizing Power and Performance in High-End SoCs - Varada Pavani & Bala Naveena Nivetha M, Samsung Semiconductor India Research
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Modern System-on-Chips (SoCs) are designed for a wide range of applications, including mobile devices, automotive systems, AI accelerators, and data servers. As SoCs become more powerful with increasing core counts, heterogeneous architectures, higher clock speeds, and enhanced AI processing capabilities, power consumption also rises. This increased power demand introduces challenges such as heat dissipation, battery life, clock management complexity and system reliability. In this talk, we explore various techniques to optimize power consumption and enhance performance using Common Clock Framework (CCF) in the Linux kernel.

We begin by discussing the role of clock management in Linux and covers various clocking strategies available in CCF to achieve optimal power and performance. Topics include dynamic clock scaling, disabling unused clocks, efficient parent clock selection and the notifier mechanism. We also explore clock usage monitoring in Linux through debugging tools such as clk_summary and kernel tracing.

Overall, this talk demonstrates how effective clocking strategies in the Linux kernel can significantly improve power efficiency and system performance in high-end SoCs.

Combining White-labelled Hardware With Open Source Software To Quickly Bring Devices To Market - Nick Chen, Blecon Ltd
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
The ODM ecosystem — such as the one found in Asia — offers a rich selection of pre-designed hardware intended for white-labelling. This hardware can be produced and shipped with short lead times. However, a typical weakness of these devices is their software, which usually consists of outdated kernels and poorly documented components. Wholesale replacement of the system’s software stack while leveraging the hardware offers a path toward creating robust devices that can sidestep many of the complexities of manufacturing a fully custom design.

In this session we share tips and learnings from our experience creating a replacement software stack using Yocto for an existing white-label IoT gateway device. With this approach, we were able to take a new device with an up-to-date Linux stack to production in under 6 months. 

The session will cover topics including: choosing of an appropriate hardware platform, coordinating with the hardware vendor, setting up an efficient development environment using similar hardware and simulators, and using the system’s OTA update infrastructure to create a factory image that’s compatible with an ODM’s existing manufacturing and testing flows.

Rethinking Writeback: Scaling Linux Filesystem and Memory Performance for the Next Decade - Kundan Kumar, Samsung R&D Institute India - Bangalore & Anuj Gupta, Samsung Semiconductor India
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Linux’s current writeback infrastructure, while robust, was designed before large folios, CXL-tiered memory, and AI workloads demanding low-latency, high-throughput I/O. Today, workloads like RAG pipelines using vector databases with buffered I/O, and memory tiering on CXL, are exposing scalability limits in how the kernel handles writeback.

This talk presents a forward-looking view on evolving Linux’s writeback model. We’ll explore how the single-threaded design stalls page migration and reduces memory compaction effectiveness—affecting hugepage allocations and folio movement across memory tiers, contributing to fragmentation. On the storage side, parallelizing writeback improves throughput and responsiveness under dirty-page pressure, especially for sustained-write workloads with large memory footprints on High capacity SSDs.

We’ll also touch on early experiments within the kernel community, including efforts to make writeback more filesystem-geometry aware and parallelize it based on overwrites/new allocations.

This session invites open source community to reimagine writeback as a scalable, performance-critical component in Linux.

Cloud Security Wildlife: A Tale of Otters, Monkeys and Security? - Marcus Tenorio, ControlPlane
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
When we talk about cloud security, the first thing that comes to mind is otters. Obviously.

In this talk, we’ll dive into the fascinating analogy between the world of cloud security and wildlife. We’ll explore Falco, eBPF, and others and how they relate to our very own animal ecosystem. This perspective offers a unique and intuitive way to understand cloud security.

Think of chameleons and adaptive security: changing colours to match evolving threats.

We’ll migrate like birds, discovering security’s role in real-world workload transitions across clouds.

We’ll collaborate like bees, protecting the hive with policies, alerts, and shared responsibility.

We’ll defend like armadillos, layer by layer, showing how strong defence is often the best offence.

And we’ll feel our spider-sense tingle — like observability tools catching anomalies across the great web of services.

And, just like otters, we’ll hold hands to stay together in the rushing currents of the cloud.

And who’s heard of chaos monkeys? Clever and unpredictable, just like attackers exploiting misconfigurations and edge cases! We’ll take a look at how that plays out in the wild world of cloud-native security.

Because we want contributors who will continue contributing, we’ll also talk about some challenges that prevent sustainable contributions over the long term.

Our panelists have experience teaching open source to university students, school children in New Zealand, and building new open source communities in Africa. In this panel, we’ll talk about what we’ve learned, what’s worked, and provide tips for you to grow the next generation of contributors from within your local communities.

Securing Software Supply Chains: OpenCode as Building Block for Sovereign Digital Infrastructure - Leonhard Kugler, Zentrum Digitale Souveränität
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
As software becomes increasingly critical to the functioning of the state, economy, and society, ensuring its security and stability is a core task for governments. Secure software supply chains are a key component of this effort and a decisive factor for successful digitalisation. To effectively guarantee supply chain security, a new approach to IT security architecture is required, one that brings together the expertise of security experts, developers, and government agencies to standardise testing procedures and facilitate collaborative security analyses. The openCode platform, run by the German Centre for Digital Sovereignty (ZenDiS), is central in addressing this challenge: by establishing binding security standards, promoting transparency, and enabling the tracing of origins for critical software components, openCode helps build resilient, sovereign OS infrastructure for public administration. A recent strategy paper published by ZenDiS and the German Federal Office for Information Security develops a strategy on how to secure software supply chains with openCode, which will be presented in this talk.

The CRA, Where Are We Six Months After Its Approval - Timo Perala, Nokia
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
The Cyber Resielience Act (CRA) was approved late 2024 by European Union. 
Open source community was heavily involved in influencing drafting of the CRA. But the need for active engagement with the regulator did not end there. During the three-year period from late 2024 to late 2027 a lot of standardisation and guidance needs to be created to guide industries, manufacturers and open source community to best comply and cope with the CRA. Open source communities have organised to address these challenges.

Here we shortly explain the motivation for, and the main requirements set forth by the CRA, the various relevant organisations working on the regulation and the timelines of the work, as well as the achievements of the open source community in this work so far, and what is the work ahead of us towards the final deadline in late 2027. After the presentation you should be able to understand what the CRA is and why it is introduced, how it impacts world wide - also open source, how open source community is addressing this new regulation and how you can join the community.

Zephyr Workqueues: How They Work and Queue - Loic Domaigne, Doulos GmbH
Monday August 25, 2025 11:20 - 12:00 CEST
Zephyr provides workqueue, a mechanism used to offload non-urgent processing to a lower priority thread. Workqueues are typically found in ISR (interrupt service routine) and high-priority threads. 

In this talk, we shall present: 
- what workqueues are, and what they are not,
- their typical use case
- how workqueues, scheduling and meta-IRQ threads relate,
- some best practices to address some common challenges, like sysworkq bottleneck, passing data or handling cancellation
- some lesser known workqueues, like the p4_wq

This is a practical hands-on talk. We’ll therefore run demo code and investigate what’s going on under the hood by looking at the Zephyr internal implementation! This will help us to get a solid understanding of workqueues, their usages and limitations, “directly from the source” (code).

Reliable and Cost-Effective: Open Storage Strategies for Kubernetes - Shriya Mulay, IBM
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
As the modern applications running on Kubernetes become more dynamic, a reliable stateful storage becomes essential. These applications don’t just need storage; they need it to be fast, intelligent, and cost-effective. 
With so many open source tools available—like Rook-Ceph, NooBaa, and Longhorn—how do you pick the right one? And once you do, how do you make sure it’s reliable and doesn’t break the budget?

In this session, we’ll discuss how one can use open storage in Kubernetes—what works well, what causes problems, and how to avoid common mistakes. We’ll cover storage for different use cases (like block, file, and object), and talk about features like dynamic provisioning, snapshots, and scaling.

Trust, but Verify: Proactive Security in Open Source - Jess McClintock, Google
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
Ken Thompson's "Reflection on Trusting Trust" warns against blindly relying on others' code, emphasizing the gap between reviewed source and built artifacts. This is critical for developers navigating complex trust models, where source code alone offers limited assurance. Recent supply chain attacks on open source packages, like xz and boltdb-go, expose the real-world practicality of deceiving traditional source reviews, threatening the foundation of open source consumption.

In this talk, we discuss a novel method for analysing and investigating the code that actually gets built using Capslock, an open source CLI tool for analyzing Go packages. By analysing and exposing discrepancies between a package’s advertised and actual permissions, potential attacks (such as the malicious version of boltdb-go) can be thwarted. Integrating this capability information into both free public data sources (e.g. deps.dev) and guided code review systems enables developers to shift left, and feel more confident trusting open source.

Demystifying the Embedded Linux Graphics Stack: An Easy Introduction for Beginners - Parthiban N, Linumiz
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
Memory to Photons: Whether it's a moving picture or a game, Linux's graphics stack is complex, involving various components in both the Kernel and userspace. Getting my first pixel to appear on an LVDS screen was an exciting journey. This talk will walk through my experience of getting started with Linux graphics, based on my recent work on Allwinner A133 display engine support [1] and my ongoing effort to get Imagination Technologies' GPU GE8300 into the upstream kernel.

Ever heard of DRM, GPU, MIPI, Khronos, OpenGL ES, Vulkan, KMS, Weston, HDMI, framebuffer, or Mesa3D, and wondered what all these are? This talk will detail the basic components of the Linux graphics stack and how it's layered. Additionally, it will discuss the specifics of how the Linux kernel's DRM is structured, which parts you’ll be interested in when building your display pipeline, and how to debug when you don't see your pixel.

Thinking Outside the (Linux) Box: Security Considerations From Human Actors - Esa Jääskelä, Buutti Oy
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
Embedded Linux security often focuses on protecting the devices against attackers using technical safeguards like secure boot and kernel hardening. While essential, this engineering-oriented perspective can result in overlooking a major threat vector: human behavior. Social engineering remains a common attack method, and even embedded devices with limited interactability can be vulnerable to this.

This presentation explores the relationships between developers, users, and attackers to identify security requirements and possible shortcomings in security planning. Core principles include:

- Prevent users (and developers) from compromising security
- Design for resilience against security failures
- Recognize that misunderstandings lead to errors
- Communicate clearly to reduce social engineering risk

While the talk isn't deeply technical, it presents embedded Linux–oriented solutions to these human-centric challenges where applicable. The presentation is accessible to people who are still beginners in the embedded world. My goal is to ensure that device developers consider the actions of both malicious actors and legitimate users in their threat models.

Upstream Kernel Hardening: Progress on Enabling -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end - Gustavo A. R. Silva, The Linux Foundation
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
The -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end compiler option was introduced in GCC 14. At the time, it revealed around 60,000 warnings in the upstream Linux kernel. While many of these were duplicates, about 650 are unique and require individual auditing and attention. These issues span different categories and vary in complexity, which adds to the challenge of globally enabling this compiler option in the upstream Linux kernel.

In this presentation, we'll share the progress we've made on this work as part of the Kernel Self-Protection Project (KSPP) over the past few months. We'll go over the challenges we've encountered, show concrete code examples, and demonstrate how to fix these kinds of problems. We'll also discuss why enabling this option is important for the kernel, and how we plan to complete this work in the near future.

Whether you're a seasoned kernel developer or someone looking to start contributing upstream, this presentation will introduce useful helpers and strategies you can use to fix existing code or implement new functionality, and in doing so, help us harden the upstream Linux kernel for the benefit of everyone.

101 on Getting Your Customers To Contribute - Nick Veenhof, GitLab
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
In heavily regulated financial services, automotive industries or other large enterprise institutions, developers can transform from open source "takers" to strategic "makers." 

This presentation showcases GitLab's Co-Create program as a proven contribution framework for organizations. We'll also teach oyu how to reproduce this program for your OSS project or company.

This is not a product pitch. Rather, Nick is drawing from 15+ years in open source communities and experience as an OSS foundation board member, he will present a model that could inspire other open source projects to engage regulated industries often excluded from contribution ecosystems.

Attendees will discover how structured onboarding, engineering collaboration, CLA frameworks, and maintenance-free contributions create sustainable participation models that maintain regulatory compliance while driving innovation.

Through case studies from Thales (where "two developers saved time for 30 million users" in just two months), Siemens, Scania, and a FinOS member, I'll demonstrate how structured contribution programs deliver measurable value while addressing the unique compliance, security, and innovation challenges.

Designing Policy and Support for a Sustainable Open Source Adoption in the Public Sector - Johan Linåker & Sachiko Muto, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
The public sector has been an active user of Open Source Software (OSS) since its inception. Yet, adoption and reuse have fluctuated, along with the many policies and initiatives providing guidance and support. On the positive side, there is a wealth of experience to draw from.

In this presentation, we aim to inspire and provide insights from a study of 16 countries that are mature in their digital practices, as indicated through a set of digital maturity indicators. These countries are surveyed regarding government policies, rationales, support mechanisms, means of promotion, and success stories on OSS adoption.

We find diverse means in how policy is designed and motivated to support both the adoption and use, as well as development and release of OSS across sectors. The cases further provide in-depth examples of how the policies can be supported and enabled using Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs), communities, and codified knowledge.

Based on our findings, we will provide attendees as well as policy- and decisionmakers at national, regional, and local government levels, with recommendations for designing and fostering sustainable policies for OSS adoption.

Better PURLs for Better Software Compliance Processes - Philippe Ombredanne, AboutCode & Dennis Roellke, Bloomberg
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
Reliably identifying software components is a critical requirement for regulatory compliance. 

PURL is the de-facto standard for the reliable naming of components in software applications, products, and systems, across programming languages, package ecosystems, tools, APIs and databases. Every open source and most proprietary tools for Software Composition Analysis (SCA), along with all SBOM and Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX) specifications and most vulnerability databases, adopted PURL for component identification. But a 2024 Software Composition Analysis (SCA) report demonstrated significant inconsistencies in how different tools create PURLs… 

Better PURLs is a comprehensive project of open source tools and open data to correct this problem. The extended PURL syntax validation confirms that the PURL components (namespace, name, version, qualifiers) are correct for a given package ecosystem, according to the specification, and that the PURL locates an existing software package artifact. 

In this talk, Philippe from AboutCode and Dennis from Bloomberg will share the latest developments and how accurate and correct PURLs facilitate better compliance processes.

Crabs Flying Kites: Writing a Zephyr Application in Rust - Mohammed Billoo, MAB Labs Embedded Solutions
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
Rust is becoming increasingly popular due to its ownership model and its innate ability to guarantee memory safety during compile time. A typical mantra of Rust developers is "if it compiles, it works". 

Zephyr is experiencing explosive growth as an RTOS. Its focus on safety, security, flexibility, and vendor neutrality has enabled many product developers to choose Zephyr as the underlying RTOS in their embedded system.

Zephyr 4.1 introduced initial support for Rust. In this talk, Mohammed will guide developers on how to create a custom Zephyr application in Rust. He will demonstrate the process and outline some pitfalls that novices may encounter, and how to work around them.

Zephyr: Evolving To CRA Readiness - Kate Stewart, The Linux Foundation
Monday August 25, 2025 13:30 - 14:10 CEST
The Cyber Resiliance Act (CRA) will be coming into effect in a few short years. Product makers will have different obligations than open source stewards for compliance. The Zephyr project has been working towards making it easier for product makers to comply with the CRA over the last few years, and will continue to work with the community to refine these capabilities.

From automatic "Build SBOM" generation to LTS Vulnerability fixes being extended to 5 years, the project has some useful starting points.

This talk will discuss what is available, and where some of the gaps will be for product makers and other ecosystem vendors to consider in their roadmaps and support plans.

Chain Reaction: Remixing CNCF’s Supply Chain Security Guide for 2025 - John Kjell, ControlPlane
Monday August 25, 2025 14:25 - 15:05 CEST
The original version of the CNCF Security TAG’s Supply Chain Security Best Practices was published in May 2021. To say “a lot has changed” since then would be a dramatic understatement—software supply chain attacks cost over $45 billion in 2023, with projections exceeding $80 billion by 2026.

In this talk, we'll take a whirlwind tour of the latest updates to the newly released second version of the Supply Chain Best Practices guide. One of the most significant changes is the increased adoption and maturity of SBOMs and attestations, supported by a rapidly growing ecosystem of tools for generating, verifying, and consuming this metadata.

We’ll explore how the open source community has responded to rising threats with a surge of new tools, improved standards, and broader best practice adoption—and how to chain these tools together for maximum impact.

We’ll showcase key open source projects from across the CNCF and OpenSSF ecosystems, including in-toto, TUF, SLSA, Guac, bomctl, SBOMit, and protobom.

A First Person Identity System for Open Source - Wenjing Chu, Futurewei Technologies Inc. & Drummond Reed, Gen
Monday August 25, 2025 14:25 - 15:05 CEST
Open source has a trust problem. One may attribute this to the age old problem of identity frauds and related security vulnerabilities on the Internet. One may further worry that the rise of AI will dramatically increase this risk and even overrun the Internet altogether without mitigation in a fundamental level. One may also see it as an inevitable consequences of 'de-globalization' or 'fragmentation' which sows distrust and threatens to undo many of the progress we had made in the past two plus decades. The Linux Foundation's Executive Director Jim Zemlin highlighted this challenge during the LFDT member summit last year, then re-emphasized it again during the LF member summits in the fall last year and again this spring in 2025. This is a followup to that "Call to Action" to a First Person Project. A decentralized First Person developer ID system is one of the things we can do in the open source infrastructure level, i.e. the fundamental ways of practice that we know as open source, to meet this challenge. In this session, we will examine the issues, discuss the First Person Project and solution approaches, and update the community its progress.

Reducing Friction in Testing Using QEMU and Labgrid for Yocto-based Products - Joschka Seydell, Zühlke Engineering
Monday August 25, 2025 14:25 - 15:05 CEST
This talk emerged from observing reoccurring pain points in providing a usable and reliable test infrastructure for complex products. Significant time is spent on avoiding test bench overload, on an efficient workflow and on infrastructure problems. Especially for distributed or platform software, many configurations need to be tested – but hardware is usually scarce due to its costs. And when using a shared test setup, dealing with device reboots and interfaces can be cumbersome. If tests are executed on hardware for no reason and due to generally limited resources, testing then comes with long feedback cycles.

To address hardware availability and scalability (also regarding tested permutations), the talk proposes the use of emulated, close-to-hardware targets. While not being exact, QEMU can produce relevant feedback for parts of the software fast and location independent. By combining it with Labgrid, tests involve less ‘moving parts’ and reuse the provided device control, reducing overall maintenance.

The example code shown in the talk is meant to augment common test setups and serves to illustrate the conscious decision on which tests to run where, when and how.

Towards Mainline Video Capture and Camera Support for Recent Rockchip SoCs - Michael Riesch, Collabora
Monday August 25, 2025 14:25 - 15:05 CEST
Recent Rockchip SoCs (namely, those of the RK35 generation) integrate dedicated IP blocks for video capture and image signal processing. These additions open the door to a wide range of interesting multimedia applications. However, support for these blocks in mainline Linux remains one of the last missing pieces in an otherwise well-supported SoC lineup. It is time to close that gap!

In this talk, I will provide an overview of the software stack for modern multimedia SoCs, cover the contributions that have already landed in mainline and are currently in flight, respectively, and outline the remaining work needed to fully enable video capture and camera functionality. We will also take a look at the compelling applications that this groundwork makes possible.

Extending BCC as a Data Source for System Monitoring - Eunseon Lee, LG Electronics
Monday August 25, 2025 14:25 - 15:05 CEST
eBPF enables efficient tracing and monitoring of modern Linux systems. However, tools in the BCC (BPF Compiler Collection) are primarily designed for standalone use, making it challenging to adopt them directly in real-time, streaming-based observability systems.

This talk introduces a practical approach to extending BCC tools for use as data sources in system monitoring pipelines. I demonstrate an architecture that transforms BCC output into time-series data by integrating with InfluxDB, and visualizes the data using Grafana. This enables real-time tracking of kernel and user-space events such as memory allocation over time.

I also explore enhancements to existing BCC tools, such as adding options to output data in time-series–friendly formats (e.g., InfluxDB’s line protocol), enabling easier ingestion by monitoring agents. These modifications help bridge the gap between raw eBPF observability and modern telemetry systems, without compromising BCC’s standalone usability. GitHub PR (https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/pull/5281) demonstrate these improvements.

Attendees will learn to leverage BCC tools for real-time insights and contribute enhancements for broader monitoring use cases.

What Have We Found in Git Repos? - Marta Rybczynska, Ygreky
Monday August 25, 2025 14:25 - 15:05 CEST
Open source project repositories often expose more than developers intend - and not just the occasional leaked password. In many cases, careful analysis of public Git histories can uncover traces of vulnerabilities being fixed days or even weeks before an official security advisory is published.

In this talk, Marta will present findings from research into the repositories of several high-impact open source projects, revealing how fix commits often hint at upcoming security disclosures.

She will then share practical advice on how to reduce this kind of information leakage - helping maintainers better protect their projects and users from premature exposure.

Faster, More Reliable Identity & Access Management Using Verifiable Credentials - Heather Dahl, Indicio
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
Identity and Access Management is a delicate balance of security and usability. Passwords are simple for a user to understand, but suffer from a lack of security and have a long history of being compromised. Passkeys and third party providers can add an additional layer of security, but tend to be more complex on the backend, and prone to technical errors, downtime, and a more frustrating user experience when things go wrong. What we need is a fast way to access accounts that is simple to use, easy to implement, and secure.

Verifiable Credentials offer a secure way to issue your users complete digital identities to be stored locally on their mobile device using a decentralized network. Once stored in this way, the credential can quickly be verified by anyone with the authentication software, and access can be granted with a simple scan of a QR code, no multifactor authentication required.

In this session we will discuss and show a demonstration of how APIs can quickly enable your existing applications to accept these credentials, and start providing a better user experience for your employees and customers.

Graphic Testing Without Hardware: Discovering the Power of VKMS! - Louis Chauvet, Bootlin
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
As a userspace developer, creating graphical applications is a common task. While software and frameworks like Weston or Qt make it straightforward to display content on a screen, ensuring compatibility across various displays poses significant challenges. Users may have different screen sizes, resolutions, and capabilities, making comprehensive testing complex. How will your application perform on a small screen? What about an extremely large one? How does it react to displays being connected/disconnected? Moreover, if your application must run on diverse devices, how will it leverage or adapt to varying hardware capabilities?

VKMS addresses these challenges by enabling graphic testing without the need for physical hardware. VKMS is a Linux kernel DRM driver that allows you to emulate a wide range of display configurations on any device. This talk will introduce VKMS, highlight its current capabilities, demonstrate practical test examples, and provide details on additional features we are currently working on upstreaming into VKMS.

Security in Large Scale Embedded Linux Projects - Martin Lang, BMW Car IT GmbH
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
Modern cars use a high integration architecture with a smaller amount of powerful Electronic Control Units (ECUs). They easily accommodate more than 150 different services and are developed by more than 1000 developers in dozens of companies across the world. Ensuring security in such an environment is a challenge in multiple dimensions: Attack surface, overall system complexity and communication.

In this talk, I want to share our insights from building three generations of Yocto-based infotainment systems. How do we ensure basics such as the least privilege principle and privilege separation? What is our approach to trusted computing with secure boot and dm-verity? What are our lessons learned to enable SELinux on this large scale? Which best-practices do we have so that the system can be developed, tested and debugged in a (security) configuration that is close to the final product?

Furthermore, I would like to give positive examples how a good open-source ecosystem can support our cause of building secure embedded Linux systems as well as some impulses which improvements could help us a lot.

When Your Budget Laptop Needs a Custom Kernel: A Linux Troubleshooting Adventure - Andrei Pokhilko, Komodor
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
This talk chronicles my journey of troubleshooting a Linux kernel issue on a budget Intel GeminiLake-based Chinese mini-laptop. What began as a simple hardware purchase escalated into a two-month deep dive into the i915 GPU driver when the display mysteriously went blank during initialization.

I'll walk through the systematic troubleshooting approach: isolating the issue to the i915 driver, identifying the kernel configuration options triggering the problem, and developing a practical patch that bypasses problematic GPIO pin activation sequences. Along the way, I'll share surprising discoveries about hardware compatibility, kernel development complexity, and the limitations of AI tools when facing real-world Linux challenges.

This presentation is designed for Linux enthusiasts and IT professionals curious about kernel troubleshooting. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge about GPU driver internals, confidence that such issues are solvable without specialized expertise, and inspiration to tackle their own hardware compatibility challenges.

Of Queens and Other Benevolent Dictators – the Role of Succession Planning in Open Source Community - Aeva Black, Independent & Hazel Weakly, Nivenly Foundation
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
Several high-profile incidents have raised global awareness that single-maintainer projects can become single points of global risk. However, a similar risk exists among established and mature projects – the attrition of a small “core” group of maintainers can be just as damaging to downstream dependencies.

Today, many established projects are facing significant maintainer attrition while vibrant and younger communities have formed around derivatives and forks. Meanwhile, entire new ecosystems have emerged and become characterized by generational divides.

Why is this happening, and what can you do to prepare to pass the mantle of project leadership?

We will discuss factors contributing to a rising participation barrier, then explore strategies for community growth and educate policymakers on ways to support the longevity and security of mid- and large-sized open source projects.

The Chain of Command: Building Trust Across Public Sector Software Pipelines - John Kjell, ControlPlane
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
The CNCF’s Cloud Native Public Sector User Group, founded in 2023, aims to advance cloud-native best practices within the public sector, with a focus on improving workflows and supply chain security.

Public sector organizations face unique and evolving challenges that complicate software supply chain security. These include the absence of standardized practices for what software can enter isolated networks, no shared root of trust, and a lack of frameworks for integrating public and private attestations. There's also no guidance for using shared, non-public infrastructure—hindering trust and automation.

This talk, based on learnings from the groups recent publications, explores how public sector consumers can receive trusted attestations that prove origin, integrity, and authorship—across companies, networks, and government entities. It also asks: what’s the minimum assurance needed for trust, and how do we balance stringent requirements without sidelining small suppliers?

Key Takeaways:

• Current challenges in public sector supply chain security

• Emerging needs for trust, attestations, and integration

• Ideas for equitable, scalable solutions across supplier sizes

Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
As organizations race to integrate AI into their infrastructure, products, and processes, they face a shared set of challenges, ranging from data fragmentation, ethical governance, to cost management and sustainability. What’s often overlooked in these conversations is the essential role of open source: the AI technology stack today is built upon thousands of open source projects and frameworks, as well as some not-so open source offerings. Yet, many organizations still lack a coordinated strategy for engaging with and contributing to this foundational ecosystem.

This BoF session aims to provide a collaborative space for OSPO teams, platform architects, AI engineers, compliance professionals, etc to come together and explore how open source management talent helps organizations navigate AI adoption, and creation, sustainably and effectively. An open floor to exchange experiences and identify issues such as:

- Interface with legal and compliance teams

- New standards related to AI models and infrastructure, such as model cards, etc

- Balancing OSS transparency with Responsible AI development

- Do AI communities differ from traditional OSS communities, and how to approach them

Confirming Safety of IAM Specifications and Their OSS Implementations: Keycloak as a Case Study - Takashi Norimatsu, Hitachi, Ltd.
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
To securely deploy an identity and access management product implementing authentication & authorisation specifications like OpenID Connect 1.0 and OAuth 2.0 respectively, we need to ensure that the specifications are safe, the product correctly implements the specifications, and the product does not contain any vulnerabilities specific to the specifications. Methods for checking these points are formal analysis, conformance testing, and vulnerability testing, respectively. However, developers are not usually familiar with them. Based on the speaker’s investigation on academic research, the speaker describes them in a straightforward way.

The speaker is a maintainer of Keycloak, identity and access management open source software, CNCF incubating project. Therefore, the speaker will use Keycloak as a case study and explain how the specifications that Keycloak implements are verified to be secure and how Keycloak is verified to be compliant with the specifications.

The audience could gain insight into how to ensure that the identity and access management product they use or develop is secure.

Machine Learning on Microcontrollers With Zephyr and Emlearn - Jon Nordby, Soundsensing
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
Modern Machine Learning makes it possible to automatically extract valuable information from sensor data, and it has become feasible to deploy ML systems to low-cost embedded devices and sensors. This niche is often referred to as "TinyML", and is enabling a range of new applications in consumer electronics, science and industry.

emlearn is an open-source project for deploying Machine Learning models to any device with a C99 compiler. It provides a Python library for converting models made with scikit-learn or Keras to efficient C code. The library has been used for many applications across a range of sensor modes, such as audio, vibration, power-line, radar, et.c.

Zephyr RTOS is a comprehensive open-source operating system that runs on a wide range of microcontrollers. The support for low-power operation, communication protocols, and standardized "sensors" API makes it a very attractive platform for TinyML applications.

In this presentation, we introduce the emlearn project, and show how it can be used together with Zephyr. We will cover the key features and tools that the library provides, and demonstrate how to perform practical Machine Learning tasks.

Know Your Crypto: Standardizing and Detecting Crypto Algorithms the Open Source Way - Matias Daloia, SCANOSS
Monday August 25, 2025 16:30 - 16:45 CEST
Regulatory pressures, quantum computing threats or security breaches in complex supply chains have elevated cryptographic algorithm management to unprecedented importance. Understanding which crypto algorithms your software includes, and the implications for downstream users, is increasingly valued by developers and organizations. Several open source initiatives are now emerging to make cryptographic algorithm detection and declaration universal, enhancing the existing Bill of Materials (xBOM) generation.

This presentation explores some of those emerging initiatives, putting focus in two of the most promising ones:

* SPDX Crypto Algorithms List (https://github.com/spdx/crypto-algorithms): This aims to standardize crypto algorithm declaration.

* Open Dataset for Keyword-Based Detection (https://github.com/scanoss/crypto_algorithms_open_dataset): open dataset for detecting crypto algorithms via keywords, useful for automated scanning.

After a short demo of a simple PoC on how to implement them, the talk will cover the background behind these efforts, the latest news and plans, their relevance for security and transparency, and how participants can use and contribute to them.

Building Europe's Cloud Future: NeoNephos' Platform Mesh - Mirza Kopic, SAP SE & Marvin Beckers, Kubermatic
Monday August 25, 2025 16:30 - 17:10 CEST
The open source Platform Mesh project, is part of an open reference architecture for building a multi-provider cloud-edge continuum that should span the European continent. Some of the central questions the project wants to answer are: How can the different service offerings across a wide array of providers be unified? How can they communicate in a common language?

We discuss how a combination of Cloud Native building blocks (kcp and kube-bind, among others) is used to create the foundation for the next generation of cloud platforms. We demonstrate a prototype which meshes together Kubernetes-like APIs that allows us to consume services across multiple control plane instances, instantiating what we call the “Platform Mesh”. Platform Mesh is a project in the newly founded Linux Foundation sub-foundation, NeoNephos, originating from the ApeiroRA initiative.

This talk is for operators of cloud service providers and internal developer platforms (IDPs), giving them an outlook at a technology that unifies both worlds and creates a standard to consume services from (nearly) everywhere.

End of Life of Software: Can Expired Milk Become a Security Breach? - José Carlos Chávez & Archita Aparichita, Okta Identity
Monday August 25, 2025 16:30 - 17:10 CEST
Would you drink milk past its expiration date? Probably not—because you know it could make you sick. Yet, many organizations keep using software long past its End-of-Life (EOL) date, exposing themselves to security breaches, compliance failures, and operational breakdowns. Just like spoiled food, outdated software can have hidden dangers that aren’t always visible—until it’s too late.

In this talk, we’ll explore:

- What happens when software expires? (Like food, software deteriorates over time)

- The hidden risks of EOL software (Security vulnerabilities = the mold you don’t see)

- Why do businesses ‘keep’ expired software (Cost? Inconvenience? Same reason some people keep old condiments!)

- Best practices for a healthy eating (Regular upgrades, patching, and a strong tech lifecycle strategy) based on our experience managing a EoL Software at Okta.

- Case studies of organizations that ‘got food poisoning’ (Real-world consequences of ignoring EOL software)

ESSTRA: A Software Suite To Enhance Software Transparency and Traceability in Software Supply Chain - Takuya Namae, Sony Group Corporation
Monday August 25, 2025 16:30 - 17:10 CEST
When you use OSS, do you want to know which source files are compiled and included in the binaries? Project ESSTRA (https://github.com/sony/esstra) is a tool that collects a list of source files while compiling your software and embeds the data into the binaries.

Recently, the importance of using SBOMs has been increasing, and there is a growing demand for improved transparency and traceability in the software supply chain from the perspectives of vulnerability management and OSS license compliance. However, it is difficult to trace the details of which files are included in the binaries used in your product or service, and which OSS licenses to comply with based on this data.

To solve this issue, Sony has developed ESSTRA. It is available now as open source itself, and includes both a GCC plugin to record source files during a build and embed it into resulting binaries, as well as a tool to manage the information.

ESSTRA is already supported by Binary Analysis Next Generation (BANG) tool.

Attendees of this session will learn how to use ESSTRA and take the first steps to improve the transparency and traceability of your project's software.

Streamlining Open-Source License Compliance With the Continuous Clearing Tool - Amrit Kumar Verma & Dearsh Oberoi, Siemens
Monday August 25, 2025 16:30 - 17:10 CEST
We present Continuous Clearing (CA) Tool, an open-source solution designed to automate & accelerate the license clearing of OSS components. This tool streamlines the identification & license compliance of 3rd party OSS components within various projects, including those using NPM, NuGet, Maven, Python, Alpine & Debian. It ensures that orgs. maintain a SBOM for all builds within the DevOps pipeline. It is designed with 3 different modules:

1. Package Identifier: This module accepts a package file or BOM as input & produces a SBOM file as output. It classifies each dependency type & incorporates into the output SBOM.

2. SW360 Package Creator: Utilizing the SBOM from the package identifier, this module identifies & creates any missing components or releases in SW360. Then associates components with the relevant project in SW360 & triggers the upload to FOSSology & automatically updates the clearing state in SW360. It also offers an option to exclude dev dependencies, if they are not relevant for compliance.

3. Artifactory Uploader: This final module takes the updated BOM & uploads components tagged as "Report approved" clearing state to the JFrog artifactory.

Video4Zephyr: From Basic APIs Towards a Full-fledged Video Subsystem - Phi Bang Nguyen, NXP Semiconductors
Monday August 25, 2025 16:30 - 17:10 CEST
Originally introduced in 2019, the Video4Zephyr (v4z) APIs provided a foundational interface for interacting with video devices in Zephyr. However, with minimal changes over the years, their limitations have become apparent—especially as video hardware grows more complex and camera-based applications become increasingly demanding.

This talk presents the current status of v4z, hightlighting recent improvements as well as sharing ongoing and upcomming works which turns the v4z from a simple driver API into a robust video subsystem. We’ll cover the devicetree video port/endpoint mechanism, a unified video control framework, enhanced buffer management, and support for memory-to-memory (m2m) devices, etc. These efforts aim to shift commont functionality and logic into the subsystem itself, significantly reduce the burden on driver developers - bringing the Zephyr’s video stack closer to a mature multimedia framework.

Lightning Talk: A Reusable Zbus Based Architecture, Abstracting Core Application Components - Jaco Liebenberg, Plentify
Tuesday August 26, 2025 10:20 - 10:30 CEST
Porting our products to Zephyr and a common microprocessor presented the opportunity to move to a higher proportion of common reusable code across devices. We present for community use and comment our architectural approach to developing a reusable Zephyr application code base.

We have leveraged zbus to create a standardised interface for inter thread communication, and a layer of zbus listeners (what we call a link layer) to enable our communication, UI, and system control to be reusable across products.

The approach is somewhat analogous to micro-services, in that our applications now each consist of ~5 independent services/modules. Each service delivers a specific independent function, and uses zbus to interface with the rest of the system in a common manner. But this is as far as the analogy goes. The choices were driven by a strong desire for maintaining a separation of concerns and modularity. So far it has proven itself to enhance testability, debugging, and to support significant code reuse and therefore maintainability of multiple code bases.

Build Distroless Containers the Easy Way: From Full Fat To Featherweight With Unbase_oci - Nikolas Kraetzschmar, SAP
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Tired of wrangling dependencies to craft distroless containers from scratch? unbase_oci flips the script.

Instead of painstakingly building up from a minimal base, you start with a comfortable, fully-featured container—think debian or ubuntu—and develop as usual. Then, with one simple command, unbase_oci automatically strips your image down to the bare essentials by comparing it to the base and keeping only what’s truly needed.

No more trial-and-error to get your distroless image just right. Write normal Dockerfiles, enjoy all your debugging tools during dev, and let unbase_oci do the slimming for production.

It’s Bash. It’s fast. It’s minimal. It works with any OCI image and requires nothing but standard Unix tools and your container engine of choice.

Let’s stop over-engineering minimalism. Build smart, then unbase.

Bootloaders Under Fire: Real-World Threats and Practical Defenses - Ahmad Fatoum, Pengutronix
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Bootloaders play a critical role in securing embedded systems, especially when implementing verified boot.

But while much attention goes into the cryptographic boot chain and run-time security, other parts of the bootloader are often overlooked — leaving a key component of the system exposed.

This talk outlines practical steps to harden a bootloader against different real-world threats.

Topics include identifying security-critical functionality, avoiding common pitfalls, slimming down the TCB and what kinds of hard- or software misconfiguration can silently undermine your defenses.

Along the way, we’ll use barebox as a practical example to show complementary approaches — like applying fuzzing to core logic, adding runtime hardening, and securely handling unlock scenarios — as well as how these could have mitigated a number of recently reported vulnerabilities.

Attendees will learn how to reduce risk during early system startup and improve the overall security posture of their embedded systems.

How V4L2 Transformed To Support Embedded Cameras - Laurent Pinchart, Ideas on Board
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Cameras in today's embedded devices are made of increasingly complex hardware. The V4L2 API has constantly evolved since its birth nearly 25 years ago to support the needs of this ever-changing landscape. What has however not changed much is the impression that V4L2 is the same today as it was 10 years ago, and that it can't adapt to modern devices.

This talk will rectify this misconception by presenting all the recent features of the V4L2 API relevant to cameras in embedded systems. We will cover raw image sensors with complex processing features (such as HDR or NPU), streams multiplexing, powerful ISPs, complex pipelines of serializers and deserializers, multi-context image processing, and more. Examples will focus not just on wishful thinking for the future, but on open solutions that are developed and ship today.

Attendees will see how to support embedded cameras on Linux with mainline kernels and without closed-source stacks, learn which APIs they need for their use cases and how to use them, and hear about ongoing V4L2 developments and where the API is heading for the future.

Securing Europe's Open Source Infrastructure: A Technical Case for an EU-Wide Sovereign Tech Fund - Nick Gates, OpenForum Europe & Felix Reda, GitHub
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
This session examines the proposed EU Sovereign Tech Fund (EU-STF), a mechanism inspired by Germany's Sovereign Tech Agency to address critical maintenance gaps in open source components underpinning European digital infrastructure.

Technical findings from a June 2025 feasibility study will be surveyed, which reveal the economic, legal, and political arguments for implementing an EU-wide Sovereign Tech Fund. Then, expert panelists will unpack the technical architecture of this maintenance crisis, demonstrating how the proposed EU-STF creates practical mechanisms for collaborative public-private efforts, as well as key use cases.

Attendees will learn implementation models that bridge the gap between how developers understand maintenance challenges (technical debt, security vulnerabilities, dependency management) and how policymakers frame these issues (resilience, sovereignty, compliance). They will gain actionable insights into:

-- How public FOSS funds need to be designed to reach critical but under-resourced components

-- Aligning the goals of FOSS maintenance funding to the needs of developers and policymakers

-- How to help make the EU-STF a reality

CoffeeCaller – a Fully Open Source Product Development Example - Andreas Kurz, TiaC Systems & Stefan Kraus, Independent
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
CoffeeCaller is an embedded device designed to coordinate coffee breaks between colleagues across an entire building. What began as a fun, free-time idea turned into an exploration of different product development approaches within the constraints of hobby time and budget. The goal wasn’t just to build something functional, but to try out techniques that could scale—from quick iterations to structured hardware-software integration.

We will show our journey from the idea to the finished project, that started with a simple proof of concept to validate the approach, followed by parallel development of hardware and software: While one created a custom hardware design in KiCad, the other development the actual application with Zephyr RTOS at the same time. We describe how we created the device tree as a bridge between both, keeping things modular and maintainable. We first implemented BLE Mesh for communication, later transitioning to openthread for broader connectivity. The entire project, including hardware and firmware, is open source.

Mirror and Control Android Phone With Zephyr on I.MX RT1170 - Phi Bang Nguyen & Trung Hieu Le, NXP Semiconductors
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Mirroring and controlling a smartphone via a vehicle’s screen enable hands-free access while ensuring comfort and safety. Existing solutions like Android Auto or CarPlay require high-end MPUs and rich OSes. In this talk, we demonstrate a lightweight and low-cost alternative using the i.MX RT1170 MCU running Zephyr RTOS:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVt0pZxM8Xg

The Android phone captures its screen, compresses it in MJPEG, and streams it to the MCU. On the Zephyr side, we use ffmpeg for video decoding and send touch events to the phone. Despite no hardware decoder, we achieved 11 fps with 100–200 ms latency. MJPEG was chosen over H.264 for its better performance. Upcoming MCUs like the i.MX RT2660/RT2770 with MJPEG/H.264 hardware decoders will boost this further.

We are currently transitioning to Wi-Fi for a fully wireless set-up and offloading camera-based gesture control to the smartphone for hands-free controls. Finally, to inject touch events into Android without root access, the Android application needs to be launched in a shell by ADB from a laptop. We're working on porting ADB to Zephyr to automate this process for a seamless, plug-and-play user experience.

Cloud Native IoT: OTA Updates and Device Repurposing With K8s - Anastassios Nanos & Charalampos Mainas, Nubis PC
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
This session presents an open-source system for integrating resource-constrained IoT devices like ESP32-based MCUs into k8s-managed environments. It covers secure device onboarding using Entity Attestation Tokens (EATs) and OpenDICE, where devices generate cryptographic identities from hardware-embedded secrets and attest their state during registration and OTA updates.

Devices are discovered using Akri, which exposes them as addressable Kubernetes resources. Firmware is built and packaged as OCI artifacts, stored in standard registries, and deployed via a k8s "FlashJob" operator that lives alongside the Akri framework. Upon deployment, prior to joining the cluster, devices are onboarded and validated via Akri's discovery handler. When repurposed, devices are validated again, to ensure end-to-end attestation of both hardware and software components.

The session focuses on concrete mechanisms for OTA management, hardware-rooted identity, and distributed execution targeting constrained systems under k8s control.

Defense in Depth: High Speed Cloud Native With Soft- and Hardware Protected Functions - Ralph Squillace, Microsoft
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
GitHub is one of the largest (if not the largest) open-source code repositories in the world, but its growth creates technical challenges: How can it continue to scale up activities at its rate of growth? How can it protect activities from each other if one uses code with a malicious attack in it?

This talk describes a fun experiment using the CNCF project Hyperlight and WebAssembly (wasm) components to investigate radical scaling of GitHub events using WebAssembly Components to both handle heavy event load on smaller, less costly VMs but at the same time use Hyperlight to provide hardware protection to each individual function.

WebAssembly is a form of “cloud native binary” that runs on almost any operating system and architecture. The emerging wasm component model is a series of standards that enables any language to make use of components written in any other language while radically scoping in the capabilities of a function, giving it only the permissions to execute that the host deems necessary.

When combined with the Hyperlight project, it becomes possible to use security-in-depth features to scale compute far more with far less risk.

ManaTEE: Enabling Verifiable AI Transparency With Confidential Computing - Dayeol Lee & Mingshen Sun, TikTok
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
ManaTEE is an open-source framework that enables private data analytics for public research using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). In this talk, we show how ManaTEE supports verifiable AI transparency, especially for proprietary models where open inspection is not feasible. TEEs allow sensitive model evaluation and data analysis in isolated, secure environments with cryptographic attestation, ensuring the integrity of both the model and data. This enables external researchers and auditors to assess AI systems without direct access to the model or sensitive data. ManaTEE simplifies this process with a secure, interactive Jupyter Notebook interface where users can load benchmarks, write evaluation code, and analyze results—preserving data confidentiality and model secrecy. We will demo how ManaTEE evaluates a closed-source AI model in a reproducible and auditable way, helping balance the need for transparency with confidentiality.

Bridging Worlds: Using Device Tree Overlays To Support Complex PCI Devices in Linux - Hervé Codina, Bootlin
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
To support complex PCI devices, a new solution landed in Linux kernel (v6.13). It allows to describe hardware within a PCI device using a Device Tree (DT) overlay, taking advantages of the DT such as modularity, clarity, and wide driver support.

The Linux kernel provides a rich set of drivers for hardware blocks found in System-on-Chips (SoC). These drivers typically rely on DT descriptions. Some of those blocks appear in PCI devices. Instead of adapting drivers to the PCI context, why not having PCI devices working in a DT context?

The first driver using this feature is the driver for the Microchip LAN966x PCI device. The LAN966x SoC was already supported in the kernel, with Linux running on its ARM cores. Drivers exist for all its hardware blocks. The PCI device version is made from the SoC version where CPU cores have been replaced by a PCI endpoint. Using a DT overlay for PCI devices allows to reuse existing drivers without any modification.

This talk will delve into motivations and use cases behind this feature, followed by a dive into the implementation. We will present challenges encountered, how they were addressed, and what this means for future PCI device support.

The Power of the Device Mapper - From Dm-cache To Dm-zoned - Werner Fischer, Thomas-Krenn.AG
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
The device mapper has been part of the Linux kernel since kernel version 2.6. It allows the creation of virtual block devices by mapping their address space to other block devices or special functions. In this way, it can map physical block devices such as hard disks or SSDs to higher-level virtual block devices. It is the basis for the Logical Volume Manager (LVM), Linux software RAIDs and dm-crypt encryption, and provides additional features such as file system snapshots.

However, the use of Device Mapper targets is not limited to that. Many other targets offer often unknown features. Most of these are intended for production use. However, there are also some targets designed specifically for debugging.

In this talk, Werner gives a full overview of all Device Mapper targets.

For production use these are: dm-cachd, dm-clone, dm-crypt, dm-ebs, dm-era, dm-integrity, dm-linear, dm-mirror, dm-raid, dm-stripe, dm-switch, dm-thin, dm-unstripe, dm-verity, dm-vdo, dm-writecache and dm-zoned.

For debugging: dm-delay, dm-dust, dm-flakey and dm-zero.

He also briefly shows drbd, md (RAID) and bcache, which, like device mapper targets, can work as devices "on top" of normal block devices.

Understanding Data Races in the Linux Kernel - Abhirup Vijay Gunakar, Arizona State University
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Data races in the Linux kernel can lead to unpredictable behavior, silent data corruption, and severe security vulnerabilities. In this session, we’ll explore how concurrency works in the kernel, explain the root causes of kernel data races, and illustrate how they can silently destabilize entire systems.

We’ll then dive into the Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN), a specialized tool that helps developers detect data races in kernel code. You’ll learn how KCSAN differs from user-space tools like ThreadSanitizer (TSan), understand its dynamic instrumentation approach, and see how to read typical race reports. We’ll also discuss best practices for preventing kernel data races: consistent use of spinlocks, mutexes, atomics, and lock ordering conventions.

By the end of this talk, you’ll grasp the core challenges of concurrency in the Linux kernel, know how to spot and diagnose data races using KCSAN, and walk away with proven techniques for keeping kernel code race-free and reliable.

Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Who said that Government Tech has to be boring? In Norway the largest administration has been using Kubernetes for over 7 years! StatefulSets had just been introduced (alpha) and RBAC was still in beta. During this time we moved from quarterly releases to thousands of continuous releases each week across our fleet of cloud native applications!

Could we replicate the success we had at NAV for other agencies? Could we provide them with a fully managed platform as a service to let them focus on building new and innovative services for their users and not reinventing the wheel by building yet another platform?

In this session Audun and Hans Kristian will share their experience building and operating one of the largest platforms of its kind in Norway providing a fully fledged application development platform for more than a 100 product teams. And how they set an ambitious goal of being able to provide their platform as a service to other agencies.

Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
This talk outlines our ongoing efforts to achieve safety certification according to IEC 61508. While the audience is technically skilled, the specifics of safety standards might be unfamiliar. We will explore why software architecture is paramount (IEC 61508 mentions it more than 50 times) and discuss the difference between architecture and its documentation. We'll also clarify the distinction between project and product documentation, and the crucial relationship between safety and security. The talk will then shed light on some Zephyr-specific challenges, such as managing feature models via Kconfig and the implications of in-tree code generation scripts for our safety approach. We will provide an overview of our current state, including the now established coding guidelines and where we are at with implementing traceability mechanisms. Finally, we will take a look on the impact this certification effort will have on the project's future direction, emphasizing its importance for wider adoption in safety-critical applications. Our aim is to foster a clear understanding of the work involved and its significance, helping Zephyr grow as a leader in safety-critical systems.

Kernel TEE Subsystem BoF - Sumit Garg, Linaro
Tuesday August 26, 2025 13:00 - 13:40 CEST
A Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) is an isolated execution environment running alongside the rich operating system. It provides the capability to isolate security-critical or trusted code and corresponding resources like memory, devices, etc. The isolation is backed by hardware security features such as Arm TrustZone, AMD Secure Processor, RISC-V TEE, etc.

This BoF will provide a platform to discuss topics related to the ongoing evolution of the kernel TEE subsystem with support for new drivers coming up like Trusted Services TEE, Qualcomm TEE, or any other future TEE drivers. Along with that, we will see how the recently merged RPMB subsystem in the kernel helped the easier enablement of OP-TEE based fTPM in-kernel use cases. The next big feature up for discussion is restricted DMA-Bufs managed by a TEE looking for real-world upstream user-space use cases like DRM protected media pipelines, TEE protected crypto accelerator keys, secure user interfaces, etc.

No Internet - No Problem? Air-Gapped Kubernetes on Bare Metal - Christian Bendieck & Carolin Dohmen, BWI GmbH
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
What do you do when connectivity isn’t just flaky – it’s nonexistent? In this talk, we’ll take you through our experience deploying fully automated, air-gapped Kubernetes clusters on bare metal servers – without internet access, without a pre-existing registry, and minimal reliance on datacenter services such as NTP.

As the IT provider for the German Armed Forces, we operate in environments where isolation isn't optional – it's mandatory. Whether due to strict security requirements or the literal ocean between hardware and surface.

At the heart of our setup is a purpose built origin node based on NixOS – which provides all necessary external services to bootstrap the cluster leveraging Talos OS.

This session will cover the technical architecture, the automation stack, and some of the challenges we faced, including:

- Bootstrapping from air-gapped nothingness

- Pitfalls and amazement of Nix and NixOS

- Talos quirks such as image caching limitations

- The joys of automating server setup by accessing BMCs with the Redfish API

- Considerations of NeoNephos projects for further development

You'll leave with practical insights for spinning up fully disconnected Kubernetes clusters.

Server Partitioning Without VMs - for Flexibility and Performance - Antti Kervinen, Intel & Feruzjon Muyassarov, Ericsson Software Technology
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
Efficient use of servers with tens or hundreads of CPUs most often requires partitioning it so that only a fraction of CPUs is disclosed to a set of containers. This improves performance, hardware utilization, and mitigates the noisy neighbor problem.

In this session, you will learn about very flexible CPU and memory partitioning that enables squeezing maximum performance from the server. For instance, you will see how to arrange containers into dynamically growing and shrinking CPU sets. How to group containers into CPU sets based on their names, labels, QoS classes, or namespaces. How to pre-allocate isolated CPUs for latency critical containers. How to let containers burst outside their partitions if there are free CPUs. And without forgetting observability, how to view existing partitions in the cluster in detail, including exact CPUs and containers in each partition.

We use NRI plugins and the balloons policy for demonstrating this, without limitations of Kubernetes CPU manager, or overhead of VMs. That said, this partitioning makes sense inside large VMs, too.

An Opinionated Overview of Open-Source Robotics - Mateusz Sadowski, Weekly Robotics
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
In this session, I’m going to give an overview of the open-source ecosystem. I will start very broad, showcasing a selection of projects per category (simulators, middleware, autopilots, libraries and some selected open-source robots). For example, for simulators I’d show Gazebo, Webots, MuJoCo, pyrobosim, ir-sim. For the middleware, I would showcase ROS, YARP, DORA, Copper, and so on.

Then, I would like to focus on one or two hardware projects that are fully or partially open-source, and dive deep into their architecture, and perhaps try to show some simulated demo. The candidates for the deep dive that I'm considering for this presentation are:

* Astrobee (https://github.com/nasa/astrobee)

* Int-ball2 (https://github.com/jaxa/int-ball2_simulator)

* SO-ARM100 (https://github.com/TheRobotStudio/SO-ARM100) + LeRobot (https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot)

Hotplug of Non-discoverable Hardware: Status and Future Directions - Luca Ceresoli, Bootlin
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
More and more industrial products are being designed with add-on components that can be hotplugged at runtime and connected with non-discoverable busses: I²C, MIPI CSI-2, LVDS, and seemingly simpler ones such as interrupts and GPIO lines.

Work is in progress for the kernel to support such hardware using device tree overlays. This talk describes the goals, work done and in progress and future directions. Special attention will be given to the DRM subsystem which is by far the most challenging one.

Topics covered are:

* Problem statement and overview of the goals

* Non-discoverable hotplug in general: device tree overlays and how to properly describe connectors and

add-ons (nexus nodes, export-symbols), instantiating devices, I²C bus issues

* DRM specific: hotplugging in the DRM subsystems, challenges in making DRM bridges removable, current work and next steps

Discussion about future directions will be very welcome.

Extending Container Performance Isolation: Regulating Memory Bandwidth & Cache in the Kernel - Jonathan Perry, Unvariance
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
While containers provide isolation for CPU cycles and memory capacity, they offer limited protection against performance interference through shared CPU caches and memory bandwidth. Such contention was shown to increase application response times by 4-13x. The Linux resctrl infrastructure provides monitoring and control mechanisms, but has limitations for controlling real-world applications.

For example, child processes do not inherit their parent's resctrl groups, leaving any application that forks improperly monitored and controlled. Additionally, the current filesystem-based interface makes it difficult to build a controller that can monitor and adjust quickly enough to keep up with frequently changing application memory behavior.

This talk introduces the memory interference problem and presents new kernel mechanisms to address these limitations. A new collector enables effective control by capturing per-container measurements of cache and memory bandwidth usage at millisecond frequencies. We'll cover how the solution combines Intel RDT, AMD QoS, high-resolution timers, perf counters, and cgroups to achieve this. We'll discuss future work and opportunities for collaboration.

Hybrid THP Mechanism. Selective Use of Huge Pages by Hot Applications - Asier Gutierrez, Huawei
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
Currently, THP policies are used globally, for the entire system. This leads to memory fragmentation and memory waste. Main memory has increased a lot faster than TLB entries, and it will continue to do so. Given the limited TLB cache entries, this becomes a serious bottleneck for real world applications. Huge pages are supposed to resolve this issue, since the a single entry in the TLB can map a big chunk of memory. However, this eventually leads to memory fragmentation and eventually the system runs out of usable memory. Hence, most sysadmins and user space application suggest to disable huge pages

We introduce a hybrid page mechanism where hot applications can use huge pages transparently, while avoiding the entire system to use huge pages.

During the talk, we will show how we managed to decrease the huge page consumption as well as benchmarks on real applications.

From Backlog To Breakthrough: How FreeBSD and Bitergia Tackled 7k+ Bugs With Data-Driven Dashboards - Alice Sowerby, Rosmarin Ltd; Daniel Izquierdo Cortázar & Miguel Ángel Fernández Sánchez, Bitergia; Moin Rahman, The FreeBSD Project
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
Every open source project has bugs—but what happens when you have more than 7k bug reports? The FreeBSD Project, a popular Unix-like OS that’s 30+ years old, faced a mounting backlog that risked overwhelming its contributors and users alike. Closing issues at random or based on age wasn’t an option. Instead, as part of work contracted by Germany’s Sovereign Tech Agency, the FreeBSD Foundation teamed up with Bitergia to build a smarter solution.

This panel discusses how the team used the OSS tool GrimoireLab to create customized dashboards to visualize FreeBSD’s Bugzilla backlog in new and actionable ways. You'll hear how metrics like the Backlog Management Index (BMI) and new bug categories like "unattended" and "abandoned" helped the team move from firefighting to focused bug triaging. We’ll also talk about technical challenges, like deploying GrimoireLab on FreeBSD itself, and the broader impact of contributing new features back to the CHAOSS open source community.

Whether you're drowning in bugs or just love data-driven engineering, this session shares practical tips, reusable metrics, and open source tools to improve bug management. Bring your questions—we’re excited to chat!

Rebooting the Republic: OS Operating Systems for Governments - Alexander Smolianitski, Zentrum Digitale Souveränität
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
What does it take to switch an entire public sector workspace to open source, including backend services and operating system? Backend services are deeply integrated with the IT architecture of the German public sector, making them challenging to replace. A recent feasibility study undertaken by the German Centre for Digital Sovereignty (ZenDiS) has investigated the legal, economic, and technical viability of replacing proprietary operating systems and backend services with open source alternatives in government agencies. Additionally, the study has explored the possibility of adopting an "ultramobile-first" strategy, where smartphones and tablets with OS operating systems, such as Android, are used as primary devices, and specialised applications are accessed through web browsers. The talk will discuss the findings of the study and the potential implications for the introduction of OS operating systems in the German public sector.

Identifying Safety Weaknesses and Fault Propagation in the Linux Kernel - Igor Stoppa, NVIDIA
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
Given the growing desire to use the Linux kernel in safety-relevant applications, like automotive, it is necessary to perform analysis and tests which are a staple of Functional Safety, but fairly new to Open Source Processes.

One of these is the injection of failures aimed at identifying data structures that might be particularly relevant from a safety perspective. This includes types of failures that would not lead to an immediate, clean crash, but rather to more subtle system degradation, that might be identifiable only when safety goals are compromised.

The methodology, and design presented constitute a tool that can be used to advance the understanding of what it entails to use Linux in safety applications. It could even be plugged into the regular upstream kernel post-release process, so that whenever a new Linux release is tagged, the tool will provide data related to how the new release behaves, when subject to controlled corruption.

Your SBOM Is Lying To You – Let’s Make It Honest - Yuchen Zhang & Justin Cappos, New York University
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
SBOMs (Software Bills of Material) are essential for improving visibility and security in the software supply chain. As open-source code drives modern development, organizations face growing security risks due to limited transparency in software dependencies. Attacks like SolarWinds (2020) and Kaseya (2021) highlight the urgent need for stronger software supply chain security.

However, SBOMs are often inaccurate. This talk explores why these inaccuracies occur, how attackers exploit them, and how to address these issues. A key challenge is dependency management file analysis (e.g., cargo.toml for Rust), which struggles to track components effectively.

Enter SBOMit, an OpenSSF sandbox project leveraging in-toto attestations to create cryptographically verifiable SBOMs. By capturing supply chain steps as they occur, SBOMit enhances accuracy, mitigates tampering risks, and strengthens security. This talk examines SBOMit’s role in improving SBOM reliability across the CNCF ecosystem.

Test Strategy for Zephyr - Maciej Perkowski, Nordic Semiconductor
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
In the dynamic world of software development, a well-defined test strategy is very important for ensuring quality and reliability. The Zephyr Project's testing activities have evolved organically to address immediate needs, however it lacked a formalized strategy. As the testing working group we developed a strategy that not only codifies existing practices but also covers new challenges, requiring a shift in our testing paradigm.

During the talk I will present the key elements of our strategy, like its objectives, main testing principles, roles and responsibilities, and other elements it is addressing. I will show how we plan to navigate the complexities of modern testing landscapes with a focus on effectiveness of the testing cycle without compromising the robustness and quality of the Zephyr Project.

OpenSSH + FIDO Workshop - Joost van Dijk, Yubico
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 15:45 CEST
OpenSSH has built-in support for FIDO security keys since version 8.2 (released in 2020). This means you can protect your SSH private keys using security keys, similar to how this can be done with OpenPGP smart cards and cryptographic tokens that support PKCS#11. Although such devices all allow you to protect your private keys using cryptographic hardware, the benefits on using FIDO include:

- FIDO is easier to use, especially for beginners

- security keys can be used on the web as well to store passkeys

- no need for vendor-specific software (like PKCS#11 modules)

- security keys are inexpensive

- FIDO features device attestation, which lets you cryptographically prove you are using a specific security key make and model.

In this talk, we will give a short introduction to FIDO security keys, and provide several demos of the use of security keys with OpenSSH, such as signing arbitrary data, authenticating to remote systems, and using key attestation.

The talk consists of a number of demos that participants can follow along on their system. Participants can bring their own security key (any vendor will do). If they do not own a security key one will be provided to them.

Health Check-ups on OSS Software Projects: Managing Risks While Promoting (Re)use - Johan Linåker, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:25 CEST
Open Source Software (OSS) intake is ever growing. An international Telco recently reported a surge from 30 to over 60,000 unique OSS components annually. However, this rapid adoption also introduces risks. The quality and security of OSS depend heavily on the maintenance efforts and health of its community.

In this talk, we show how organizations can systematically monitor the health of their OSS dependencies. This involves assessing the long-term viability and quality of OSS projects, akin to a medical check-up. Our study, detailed in the OSS Metrics chapter of the TODO group's OSPO book, identified 21 key health aspects through literature review and expert interviews. These aspects help organizations evaluate OSS projects based on factors like community productivity, stability, and governance.

Implementing health assessments requires a tailored approach, as demonstrated in our case study with a major automotive manufacturer. We present a semi-automated process for intake-stage inspections and automated monitoring for deployed components. Continuous training and feedback sessions are essential for integrating health assessments into standard practices.

Containers Live Migration: What’s There, What’s Missing, What’s Next? - Daniel Simionato, ControlPlane
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Moving a running workload from one host to another transparently without disrupting its execution flow (“live migration”) is a solved problem for virtual machines, but still poses challenges for containers.

Current checkpoint and restore functionalities in both Kubernetes and LXD are somewhat limited or not completely fleshed out, and moving containers from one host to another involves either spinning up new replicas or stopping and restarting the containers, which is undesirable for stateful workloads like databases, machine learning or deep learning jobs.

Projects like CRIU (https://criu.org/Main_Page) and DMTCP (https://github.com/dmtcp/dmtcp) propose different approaches to offer checkpointing and restore functionalities in containers, but there is still no streamlined solution in LXD and Kubernetes.

In this lightning talk, we’ll go over the current state of the art, with a quick demo of what’s currently available, describing what’s missing and what will be the future developments to achieve seamless container live migration.

More Effective Approach To Detecting Potential Deadlocks, DEPT(DEPendency Tracker) - Byungchul Park, SK hynix
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Lockdep is a tool in the Linux kernel designed to detect potential deadlocks by tracking the order in which locks are acquired. However, deadlocks can occur not only due to incorrect lock acquisition order, but also from waits that cannot be resolved. For more effective deadlock detection, it is crucial to track the waits and events themselves, rather than focusing on lock acquisition order. This is where DEPT (DEPendency Tracker) comes in. DEPT accurately identifies conditions that can lead to deadlocks by tracking waits and events. Let me introduce DEPT and explain how it works.

The Power of the Command Line - How Bash Can Boost Your Productivity - Werner Fischer, Thomas-Krenn.AG
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Most Linux users use it every day: the bash shell. While Linux newbies only sporadically access the command line (terminal), their familiarity with it increases with continued use.

However, very few people take advantage of the sheer power of the bash. A basic understanding of the Bash grammar will help you get started: from simple commands, pipelines (|), lists, to compound commands, coprocesses, shell function definitions.

The Bash is incredibly versatile.

Quoting, for example, is used to remove the special meaning of certain characters or words to the shell. Values can be stored in parameters - of which there are several: positional parameters, special parameters, shell variables (e.g. $BASH, $LANG, $PATH, ...), arrays. Functions, arithmetic evaluation, conditional expressions and exit status are features often used in Bash scripts. Last but not least, shell bulletin commands are also part of the bash feature list.

Join Werner's talk and discover many possibilities for your favourite shell that you may have only dreamed of.

Navigating Compliance: What Developers Can Learn From Driving - Kadi McKean & Charlie Jones, ReversingLabs
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
When driving on a highway, you have to follow the rules of the road—some apply to everyone, while others only apply to commercial drivers. Open source maintainers and software publishers face a similar divide regarding regulatory compliance.

While software manufacturers must meet extensive legal and security obligations, open source maintainers often assume these regulations do not apply directly to them—but do they? In this talk, we’ll separate fact from fiction by breaking down what rules like the EU Cyber Resilience Act require from maintainers versus software vendors.

We’ll explore the limited enforceable obligations for open source projects, including secure development policies and vulnerability reporting, and discuss when (if ever) these rules impact maintainers. By understanding these distinctions, open source contributors can make informed decisions about risk, responsibility, and collaboration with commercial software teams—without unnecessary compliance burdens.

Lightning Talk: Reliable Recovery in Partitioned Embedded Systems Using IVSHMEM and Jailhouse Hypervisor - Paresh Bhagat, Texas Instruments
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 16:30 CEST
In industrial and real-time embedded environments, system uptime and fault recovery are mission critical. This proposal explores a lightweight and effective technique for crash detection and recovery using Inter-VM Shared Memory (IVSHMEM) within the Jailhouse hypervisor. By continuously sharing heartbeat or health status between the root cell and inmate (guest OS) via shared memory, the system can quickly detect unresponsive partitions and trigger recovery mechanisms like automated restarts without a full system reboot. We demonstrate this approach on TI SITARA EVMs, showing how it minimizes downtime without a full system reboot. Through this talk, I aim to share a reusable pattern for enhancing system reliability and show how open-source virtualization can be leveraged for resilient industrial applications. Attendees will gain insights into partitioned system design, shared memory communication, and recovery strategies for embedded systems. I hope to receive feedback on enhancing this approach and hear from others solving similar reliability challenges in embedded systems.

Lightning Talk: Integrating and Extending Battery Health Preservation Support in Linux - Jelle van der Waa, Red Hat
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 16:30 CEST
Since GNOME 48, users can now on a limited set of hardware configure battery health preservation by setting charge limits. This works by setting a start and stop charge limit to prevent trickle charging or always charging the last X% of the battery preventing unneeded wear when they are mostly used plugged in to external power.

In this talk the existing sysfs API is explained, its limitations and the implementation of a new API (charge_types) to support specific Dell laptops and move other laptops over from non-standard sysfs API's to a new API which applications like UPower will use to offer battery health preservation to more models.

Bridging Worlds: Implementing OpenStack Support for NixOS - Stefan Kober, Cyberus Technology GmbH
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
This talk presents our approach to integrating OpenStack cloud infrastructure with NixOS, addressing a significant gap in development workflows for OpenStack Nova.

Our primary motivation was to simplify testing and development processes by leveraging NixOS' declarative and reproducible environment capabilities. We'll demonstrate how our implementation uses NixOS modules to create deterministic OpenStack deployments where components - particularly the Nova compute and the Neutron network service - are defined as NixOS modules within the Nix expression language. This approach eliminates configuration drift during development cycles and enables developers to quickly reproduce specific environments.

We'll share practical insights from our implementation journey, highlighting how this integration streamlines OpenStack development workflows through consistent test environments and easy service configuration manipulation. We'll discuss the qualitative improvements in developer experience and outline future directions for expanding NixOS support across the OpenStack ecosystem.

Your Containers Aren’t Alone: Demystifying Container Isolation - Marina Moore, Edera
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
How do you know your container workloads aren’t being viewed or altered by other workloads running in the same environment? Many technologies promise to isolate workloads from each other, but what do these technologies actually do, and which one is right for your workloads? In this talk we will discuss why people use multi-tenency to run containers from multiple users in the same cluster, the risks of multi-tenency, and what we can do about these risks. We will survey technologies with different levels of container isolation, from relying on namespaces to using virtual machines to using separate hardware. Each level of isolation is right for some use cases, so we will discuss the pros and cons of each. You’ll come away with a new understanding of how you can keep containers secure from each other and an understanding of the tradeoffs of various container isolation technologies.

Zero Trust at the Edge: Bridging Industrial Systems With Verifiable Credentials and OpenZiti - Shane Deconinck, Howest University of Applied Sciences
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Industrial environments depend on secure collaboration among internal employees and external technicians. Traditional centralized identity systems like LDAP fall short when managing external parties, while industrial constraints prevent modifying legacy equipment.

This session presents a pragmatic architecture using open-source tools - including OpenZiti and W3C Verifiable Credentials (VCs) - to enforce Zero Trust precisely at the application level. By combining decentralized identity management for external supplier technicians with corporate OIDC for internal staff, we demonstrate how to achieve secure, identity-aware communication flows without rewriting legacy MQTT hardware.

Attendees will learn how application-level binding ensures that only explicitly authorized actions occur, preventing any unauthorized bypass even in constrained industrial setups. The approach not only strengthens security in today’s complex environments but also boosts the value and potential of these emerging technologies through practical integration.

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
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.

Data Placement in Linux: Evolving Block and File I/O - Kanchan Joshi, Samsung Semiconductor
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
As technologies evolve, so must Linux. Flexible Data Placement (FDP) is a new storage capability that gives the host more influence over the physical data layout—crucial for improving performance, usable space, and overall energy efficiency.

While initial Linux support was possible through an io_uring-driven passthrough interface, many real-world deployments require block and file path support, as well as collaboration across the I/O stack.

This talk will present the current state in Linux, dive into key design decisions, and walk through how both block and file I/O paths are being adapted to better take advantage of data placement. Expect discussion around the use of per-file and extended per-I/O interfaces that involve io_uring, filesystems, the block layer, and the NVMe driver.

Whether you are developing filesystems, optimizing performance tools, or are simply curious about how Linux keeps up with evolving hardware, this presentation offers a glimpse into the next stage of I/O evolution with deeper software–hardware coordination.

Travel Retail Disruption Using Open Source - Stu Waldron, Open Travel Alliance
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Travel retail, shopping and booking stays, activities, or trips, is ripe for disruption using open source. Fifty years on from its inception, the process of shopping and purchasing travel products has been computerized and exposed online but works largely the same as it always did. Even as some legacy components have been replaced, their limitations are still present embodied in workflows and policy. Stateful, transactional, processing is still the order of the day. It all needs to be overhauled to move into a stateless, cloud based, digital world. Travel retail is unaffordable in its current form, open source is the obvious answer. As a community, make one investment to create the needed foundational capabilities such as offer/order management, security, identity management, event management, rules processing and much more. Noncompetitive functions everyone needs to create traveler solutions such as end to end trip solions and management via an AI powered app. The Open Travel Alliance is working with the Linux Foundation to form the Open Travel Foundation. This session will explain how this new foundation will transform travel retail.

Open Source Is a Sewer - Powen Shiah, Sovereign Tech Agency
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Who maintains the software components everyone uses? Without open source libraries, protocols & tools, the world would grind to a halt. When it comes to sewers, roads & bridges, the government pays. For bits & bytes? There's a German phrase: digitale Daseinsvorsorge.

Who builds and maintains the sewers under our feet? The government! The same goes for the trains we ride and the roads we walk on. When we ask these questions about the basic components that underpin our world's digital infrastructure, the answer is very different. It's Daniel for curl, Piotr, Christian & Volkan for Log4j, a small team for Fortran, Sarah for Nominatim, Richard at Yocto and countless other maintainers.

At a time when software is eating the world, these foundations are terrifyingly precarious. We hope we're paying the right people to do the critical work of maintaining/securing these systems. Is it possible for governments & nations to help secure this public digital commons without running roughshod over the sprawling ecosystem of FOSS communities that created it?

As governments provide education, clean water and transport in the public interest, they can invest in digital services and open source.

Power Dynamics, Rug Pulls, and Other Corporate Impacts on OSS Sustainability - Dawn Foster, CHAOSS
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Power imbalances are everywhere, including in our OSS projects, and in today’s cloud native world, the power dynamics have gotten even more complex. We’ve recently seen an increase in relicensing of open source projects and other tensions within communities that are directly related to imbalances in power that cause disruption within our open source projects. The many users, contributors, and even maintainers who have less power can feel like the rug has been pulled out from under them. We have mechanisms, like forks, where those with less power can counter these moves, regardless of the forms they take.

This talk will not only help people understand the power dynamics at play, but it will also provide tangible steps that we can take as maintainers, contributors, and users to make better decisions about focusing our precious time on making our projects more sustainable. There is no way to accurately predict which projects will not be sustained, but this talk will contain suggestions for how to look for warning signs. By attending this talk, you will learn more about the power dynamics and steps that you can take to make better decisions about which OSS projects to embrace.

CANnectivity: Zephyr-based USB To CAN Adapter Firmware - Henrik Brix Andersen, Vestas Wind Systems A/S
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
A crucial component in the development of firmware utilizing Controller Area Network (CAN) communication is a host-connected CAN adapter. Several commercial and open-source solutions are available for this purpose, but each has its own limitations. The CANnectivity firmware, a Zephyr-based open-source firmware for Universal Serial Bus (USB) to Controller Area Network (CAN) adapters, aims to address these limitations.

This presentation will go over the considerations leading to the development of the CANnectivity firmware, its intended use cases, and the advantages it offers over existing solutions. I will provide an overview of the firmware’s architecture, the automated testing procedures currently in place for validation, and the future plans for its enhancement.

Model-Based Testing for the Zephyr RTOS - Philipp Panzer, UL Solutions
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
The use of Zephyr in safety-critical domains poses a significant challenge with regard to certification. Since feature development in open-source projects is usually not driven by a centralized requirement specification, V&V become challenging tasks: The lack of a requirement specification makes the subject of validation hard to capture. Verification requires considerable effort for manual test creation. To address these issues, we explore a Model-Based Testing (MBT) approach for Zephyr, which involves the creation of a formal model of the system. Based on this specification, runnable test cases are automatically derived which pass if the actual software implementation aligns with the model. We present our approach of applying MBT to Zephyr's semaphore API, which uses TLA+ and generates runnable ZTest test cases. Given the promising results of our initial exploration, we want to share our ideas with the community to encourage further work in this area. We argue that an integration of MBT into Zephyr’s development cycle results in formal specifications of the system, which, combined with test generation, enable automated conformance testing and facilitate continuous certification.

Tuning Linux for Embedded Space Applications - Simon Corbin, CNES
Tuesday August 26, 2025 16:40 - 16:50 CEST
Space is a hostile world, requiring many precautions to be taken when embedding software in a spacecraft. Historically, this results in hardware targets embedding chips that are qualified and tolerant to the environment (radiation in particular), but rather old, expensive and produced in small batches.

The expansion of “New Space” has democratized the use of COTS, considerably increasing available onboard computing power and opening up new ways of embedding applications in satellites.

While it can be tedious to port an application onboard (limited to C language, restricted memory and computing power, limited user community...), using Linux minimizes the effort involved in porting an algorithm onboard. However, the world of on-board space applications requires compliance with numerous rules and standards. This presentation aims to provide an overview of the challenges involved in using Linux onboard a space system.

The aim is to give an overview of how we make embedded software at CNES and how Linux can take us to new dimensions. The following topics will be discussed regarding embedded Linux for space applications :

- Real time aspects

- Reliability

- Processes segregation

Do It Faster: How We Supercharged Linux To Work With Blazing Fast ADCs for IIO - Trevor Gamblin, BayLibre
Wednesday August 27, 2025 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
What does it take to support high-performance ADCs and DACs in the kernel? To get the most out of these devices, we need to make some significant overhauls to PWM and SPI subsystems, including adding pivotal new features such as SPI offload and PWM waveform to the upstream Linux kernel. This has ultimately led to adding support for dozens of ADC/DAC devices in the IIO subsystem and expanded the capabilities of those already there, allowing them to operate up to millions of samples per second without jitter. We'll give a high-level overview of how this project came about, the target hardware configurations, test equipment used, and methods to make it all happen, along with the challenges we overcame in the process. A "lessons learned" approach to this review and some possibilities for future work will round out the talk.

Linux Power Management Features & Their Interactions, Part 2 - Théo Lebrun, Bootlin
Wednesday August 27, 2025 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
Over time, many features have been introduced into the Linux kernel to tackle various Power Management related needs. Most features rely upon the device model to provide its features, making each feature in isolation have rather understandable behavior and straight forward APIs. Complexity can creep in however when those various features interact with each other.

Breadths is so wide that it takes two talk to cover features. This is a continuation talk expanding on last year's.

Topics targeted are system-wide suspend wakeup sources, device & generic power domains, the concept of latency tolerance (QoS), async PM and others.

Software ISP FOSS Support for MIPI Cameras - Hans de Goede, Red Hat & Bryan O'Donoghue, Linaro
Wednesday August 27, 2025 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
Many recent Windows (on ARM and x86) laptops have replaced the standard UVC USB camera module with a raw MIPI camera-sensor using a CSI receiver and ISP in the CPU to process the raw data into an image (and on smartphones this has been the norm for ages).

Supporting these cameras under Linux is an ongoing challenge. At FOSDEM 2024 a solution using a software ISP running on the CPU was presented as a solution to get these cameras to work with a fully opensource stack.

This talk will look at where support for MIPI cameras using the software ISP is at now, 1.5 years later, mainly focusing on the ubiquitous x86 laptops using cameras connected to Intel's IPU6.

Depending on ongoing work this will include a demo of recent developments such as running the software ISP on the GPU and the first FOSS color-corrected images from an IPU6 attached sensor with the color calibration done using all FOSS tools.

From Raw To Refined: The Evolution of Raw Flash Support in Linux - Miquèl Raynal, Bootlin
Wednesday August 27, 2025 09:50 - 10:30 CEST
The Memory Technology Device (MTD) subsystem has come a long way from its early days of rudimentary flash support. As embedded systems have evolved, so too has Linux’s ability to manage and interface with raw flash memory devices — from parallel NAND and NOR to modern SPI-based variants.

While SPI NOR initially led the charge, the past few years have seen SPI NAND support in Linux grow rapidly, gaining robustness, better performance, and broader compatibility. But the story doesn't end there. Improvements across the MTD stack continue to shape how developers design with raw flash.

This talk takes a tour through the evolution of raw flash support in Linux: how we got here, what’s new, and what it means for future designs. Whether you’re maintaining legacy NAND systems or eyeing SPI NAND for your next embedded project, we’ll explore the practical impact of recent changes and what to expect next. Raw flashes might not be dead just yet — they’ve just gotten smarter.

Powering Up: Lab Automation With Labgrid and CI - Tim Orling, Konsulko Group & Trevor Gamblin, BayLibre
Wednesday August 27, 2025 09:50 - 10:30 CEST
How do you automate your day-to-day embedded software development workflow - if you do? In today's fast-moving world, automation is all-but-essential. In addition to development speed and efficiency, we need it to be confident that our changes are not breaking anything and to continuously keep up with upstream changes and security fixes. Toward this objective, we will explain how to get started with a GitLab runner for continuous integration, and combining it with Labgrid and pytest for automating testing on hardware at your desk. Our target device will be a BeaglePlay booting a Debian OS with the goal of a tight development loop for kernel drivers and devicetrees. We will also discuss how to incorporate that into a more "product" focused testing loop with the help of the Yocto Project. Most importantly, we'll explain why this is such a power-up for the developer by sharing our own experiences and how they've been improved by adopting the workflow we've described. After automating your personal development workflow, we’ll explore community initiatives like KernelCI that are using similar tools for automated builds & tests at scale.

Zephyr RTOS: Under 1KB of RAM - Parthiban N & Karthikeyan Krishnasamy, Linumiz
Wednesday August 27, 2025 09:50 - 10:30 CEST
On a well-supported hardware platform/SoC, the typical RAM required to run simple applications like hello_world or blinky is around 1.5 KB with the default configurations. SoCs with RAM under 8 KB are common in single-purpose application use cases. With the recent announcement of the world’s smallest microcontroller from TI [1], featuring just 1 KB of SRAM, this coincidentally overlapped with our initial efforts to get the MSPM0 family series into the Zephyr RTOS upstream.

As of today, the smallest RAM where Zephyr can run is 2 KB, supporting UART and GPIO, which utilizes over 90% of the RAM. We often encounter the "FLASH/RAM overflowed by N bytes" error when attempting to get Zephyr working under 1 KB of RAM.

In this talk, we will share the challenges faced while running a useful use case application under 1 KB using Zephyr. Achieving this was made possible thanks to the small footprint of the kernel (i.e., 128 bytes). We will discuss what goes beyond GCC’s -Os and -Oz flags and how we managed to get true multitasking with I2C, SPI, and ADCs running, all while keeping current consumption under 2 µA.

Is the Zephyr Device Tree Too Complicated? - Tim Guite, Magpie Embedded
Wednesday August 27, 2025 10:10 - 10:20 CEST
The device tree is one of the defining characteristics of the Zephyr project. Using concepts borrowed from Linux, along with its best buddy Kconfig, it allows us to leverage the ecosystem to avoid endlessly rewriting the same drivers. It is also one of the most challenging aspects of Zephyr for developers to get their head around as they venture into the woods beyond the “Getting Started” guide. Device trees can contain repeated, redundant information and parameters which are difficult to trace back to their source. On the other hand, the device tree caters to an incredibly wide range of users who might be setting up a single accelerometer or specifying the peripheral mapping for a multi-core SoC. So, is the device tree too complicated, is it just right, or are there other ways to tackle this problem?

Modernizing Resource Management in Embedded Systems Using eBPF - Michał Wilczyński, Samsung Electronics
Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Embedded systems must carefully balance limited resources. This presentation shows how we used eBPF to improve resource management in TizenOS through two solutions: a new low-memory detection system and a dynamic cache tuner. Our eBPF-based low-memory detector significantly reduced false alarms while identifying problems earlier than traditional approaches. The cache tuner successfully improved I/O performance during disk-heavy workloads while automatically reducing memory pressure. Both solutions use eBPF to collect data with minimal overhead. Ill share implementation details, code examples, and test results to help others apply similar approaches to their embedded systems, contributing reusable patterns that can strengthen resource management across the embedded Linux ecosystem.

Unified Boot Time Measurement: A Precise, Scalable Framework for Multi-Processor Systems - Vishnu Pratap Singh & Soumya Tripathy, Texas Instruments
Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
This session introduces a unified boot time measurement framework that overcomes these limitations. Inspired by U-Boot’s bootstage mechanism, it leverages hardware timers to generate synchronized timestamps across heterogeneous subsystems. Instead of relying on fragmented logs, the framework writes boot markers to a reserved DDR memory region, enabling a Linux utility to extract and analyze the complete boot timeline via the devmem interface. This approach ensures end-to-end visibility, enabling developers to pinpoint inefficiencies, optimize boot sequences, and improve system responsiveness.

With the increasing complexity of embedded devices—ranging from IoT and industrial automation to automotive and networking—achieving fast and predictable boot times is more important than ever. This talk provides a vendor-agnostic, software-based approach to measuring and optimizing boot performance, benefiting developers working on custom Linux BSPs, embedded RTOS systems, and real-time applications.

Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
In an era of geopolitical shifts, countries seek technological independence, with open source as a key strategy. While US/European developer density is well-known, their interconnections with China’s ecosystem remain under explored. This talk aims at providing an overview based on quantitative data of the evolution of the European and Chinese ecosystems. And give indicators of commonalities across both industries through potentially shared interests.

According to 2024 global open source data released by China's OpenAtom Foundation:

• Europe leads with 3M+ active developers (17.8% YoY growth), while China follows with 2.2M+ (24.05% growth).

• Europe dominates mature domains like OS (3.49M annual contributions) and front-end (9.59M), while China excels in emerging fields such as AI (+29.94% ) and semiconductors (+121.64%).

This is growing a non-exclusive and possibly complementary ecosystem of body of knowledge, tools, and processes where different parties can take advantage of.

From Code To Current: Reducing Energy Consumption in Zephyr - Fabian Pflug, On behalf of myself
Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
When designing battery-powered sensor devices, optimizing the power consumption of all components is crucial. While many sensors offer low-power modes, the generic sensor interface in Zephyr may not always utilize these modes efficiently.

In this talk, I will provide an in-depth look at how Zephyr’s Power Management Subsystem works, how to integrate it into your device drivers, and how it can be used to further reduce power consumption.

Using examples such as a battery level sensor and I2C sensors, I will demonstrate various strategies to manage and minimize a sensor's energy usage. There are multiple approaches to integrating power management within the Zephyr operating system, and I will discuss how sensor characteristics influence which method results in longer battery life. Achieving optimal energy efficiency requires careful consideration of several parameters.

Additionally I will compare different MCU's and their influence on Power consumption and how Zepyhr enables a quick and easy way to switch and compare results on different platforms.

Deploy AI in 20MB: Lightweight Containers for Open Source Developers - Miley Fu, Second State
Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Containerization has enabled powerful deployment workflows—but traditional Linux containers can be heavyweight, especially for LLMs or AI workloads on resource-restraint environments.

This session introduces WebAssembly as an alternative for deploying small, single-purpose AI functions. We’ll demonstrate how to build a simple AI service in Rust, compile it to Wasm, and compare the runtime footprint and deployment model with a traditional Python or Linux container-based equivalent. The focus will be on practical constraints: image size, memory use, startup time, and runtime isolation. We’ll also walk through running them (along open source LLMs) in sandboxed environments, even without root access, and why this matters for cross-platform efficient and secure deployment. The session is geared toward beginners who may already be familiar with Docker but are looking for faster, more portable alternatives to run open source LLMs in real-world environments.

Ideal for devs exploring open-source AI tooling, local-first agents, or edge inferencing.

How To Support Multiple Display Controllers With Different Interfaces on One SoC - Devarsh Thakkar, Texas Instruments & Aradhya Bhatia, Intel Corporation
Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Modern SoCs often integrate multiple display controllers to support advanced use-cases such as multi-display setups, content mirroring, or screen extension. These controllers typically support heterogeneous interfaces like DSI, HDMI, OLDI, or (e)DP to accommodate a wide range of panels and bridge devices. Taking TI’s AM62P SoC as an example-which includes two display controllers, a GPU, and multiple interfaces such as DSI, DPI/HDMI, and OLDI-this talk will cover the design considerations involved in enabling Linux DRM driver support for such systems. It will explore two key approaches for supporting multiple controllers: integrating both under a single DRM card versus exposing them as 2x separate DRM cards, along with their pros and cons. The talk will also highlight the architectural changes made to support dual OLDI bridges multiplexed between controllers, allowing either configurations–dual-link (from a single controller) or 2x single-link (from separate controllers). Finally, it will discuss the challenges with DSI bridge integration, particularly around crtc-encoder-bridge operation sequences, and how bridge APIs can be used to support custom sequences for bridge operations.

Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
This talk will first introduce the audience to the Thread networking protocol: specifically designed to support Internet of Things (IoT) devices in homes and smart buildings. Thread standardizes wireless IPv6 communication between low-power, low-cost IoT devices, while also supporting end-to-end IP connectivity with other devices at home or on the Internet.

After the introduction we dive into more detail on OpenThread (https://openthread.io/), an open-source implementation of the Thread standard. Different OpenThread components are highlighted, and we’ll show what role each of these components plays: it may be from development of Thread-based consumer products, or testing new features for the Thread standard, to development of SDKs that Thread radio vendors offer. One specific component to highlight is the OpenThread Border Router, an embedded Linux based IoT device that orchestrates communication between Thread devices and other IPv6/IPv4 hosts.

We hope to show the open source community that OpenThread offers interesting opportunities to venture into IoT: covering a range of developer skillsets, platforms and languages.

U-Boot in the Fast Lane: Developing a Safety Test Framework for Automotive Applications - Neha Francis, Texas Instruments
Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
This session presents a proposal for a Safety Test framework in U-Boot. We use the ongoing integration effort of a Built-In Self Test (BIST) driver as an example and dive into the challenges we face during upstreaming it. In systems with heterogeneous SoCs such as the Texas Instruments (TI) K3 family, U-Boot may be required to bootstrap not just Linux running cores but also other MCUs running safe operating systems. Running safety tests on these cores would mean drivers execute safety diagnostics both triggering HW tests e.g. BIST, POST, JTAG etc. as well as SW e.g. STLs and SDLs prior to booting the MCU. At present, lack of a clear, dedicated subsystem leads to categorizing safety-related drivers under misc/. While this is a convenient approach, it may not be scalable as safety use-cases and applications increase.

The need of such a framework would be inevitable following the increase in safety-driven automotive systems. It could become a useful precursor to enabling ELISA systems and starting safe RTOSes. It would also benefit systems using Linux ecosystems such as RedHat's In-Vehicle Operating System (RHIVOS). A Safety Test uclass framework would be proposed in this session.

Another Cluster Bites the Dust... and That’s Just Fine! - Davide Bianchi & Graziano Casto, Mia-Platform
Wednesday August 27, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
Why keep your cluster alive when you’re not using it? Let it bite the dust, every night, and that’s just fine. With Crossplane and kube-green, you can unlock ephemeral environments that spin up when you code and shut down when you rest. Imagine a development setup that dynamically provisions complex infrastructure for testing, then automatically scales down during off-hours – like nights and weekends.

In this talk, we’ll show you how Platform Engineering can orchestrate this smart, on-demand model, so developers can focus on building applications, not babysitting clusters. You’ll see the integration in action, explore the impact on cost, efficiency, and sustainability, and discover how to shift from static uptime to dynamic, eco-friendly infrastructure. Save money, reduce emissions, and let your clusters rest – because we will rock you, but not all night long.

Advancing AI Application Development on RISC-V Platforms - Yuning Liang, DeepComputing
Wednesday August 27, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
RISC-V has made significant strides as an open instruction set architecture for embedded, edge, and server-class systems. However, enabling modern AI workloads: such as speech-to-text, LLM inference, and multimodal generation on RISC-V remains a major technical challenge, particularly in resource-constrained environments.

In this session, we share our ongoing efforts to enable real-world AI applications on RISC-V platforms based on a 64-bit 8-core RISC-V AI SoC. We explore the porting, optimization, and runtime behavior of popular open-source AI workloads like Whisper, VLC with Speech-to-Text, webLLM, and text-to-image generation, running entirely on RISC-V hardware.

We will also discuss the implications of DSP instruction emulation for RISC-V vector standard RVV 1.0, as well as the use of Vector DSP and Vulkan and OpenCL backends, and how developers can contribute to or replicate these experiments. Our goal is to provide a transparent, reproducible pathway for the open-source community to extend AI capabilities on emerging RISC-V platforms.

Why Further Development on Publiccode.yml Is Neccessary - Tom Ootes, developer.overheid.nl
Wednesday August 27, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
My story/message/ problem statement would be:

- A cultural change needs to take place. Instead of building software themselves, organizations should first explore the landscape (open standards/existing projects).

- However, not all OSS projects are yet findable in the public sector/with suppliers.

- Also, much metadata available in repositories is not platform-agnostic (thus embedded in Gitlab/Github)

- The agnostic standard that solves this: publiccode.yml. We need to apply this standard but also invest in it/contribute to it. Only then will it become more usable.

- "Infrastructure-as-code" projects within the government are increasingly available as open source. Organizations like Kadaster and Wigo4IT are about to open source this. To make the Dutch Digital Infrastructure more sovereign, it is crucial that these open source infrastructure components are also made findable.

- The publiccode.yml standard is already being used by FR/DE and Brussels, so it's logical to invest in this standard. We will have to make all our initiatives easily findable/searchable! The quality regarding metadata needs to improve.

Besides this i would like to emphasize that working OSS is just more fun.

Shifting Safety Techniques To a Statistical World - Imanol Allende, Codethink & Nicholas Mc Guire, OpenTech
Wednesday August 27, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
The current aim of the industry is to develop and deploy highly complex safety-related systems. However, these systems differ significantly from traditional deterministic ones. Modern systems demand high-performance and security while exhibiting inherent non-determinism, challenging conventional safety approaches.

As safety-related systems evolve toward unprecedented complexity, they increasingly exhibit emergent properties that cannot be adequately captured through Descartes' approach of "dividing each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it". This fundamental shift requires a transition from element-by-element analysis to holistic statistical modeling.

Consequently, we believe the future lies in statistical system analysis. Methods like Probabilistic Worst Case Execution Time and Statistical Path Coverage demonstrate how complex systems can be assured through statistical approaches.

This presentation identifies limitations of traditional techniques, explores opportunities offered by statistical approaches with examples, and analyzes requirements for these methods to be effectively applied in the functional safety domain.

MIDI2 in the Real World With Zephyr - Titouan Christophe, Mind
Wednesday August 27, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
Since the 1980s, the MIDI (Musical Instruments Digital Interface) protocol has been the leading standard for connecting digital instruments and controllers in live performances and digital audio workstations. In the last 5 years, a brand new revision of this protocol has been released, supporting multiple transports that adapt it to the modern world of high-speed bidirectional communications.

In this talk, we will first look at an overview of the MIDI2 protocol, what it improves on the former MIDI (1) version, how to define its topology, and what kind of data it conveys. We will then dive into practical considerations for developing a custom MIDI2 device, using Zephyr as an example development platform considering:

- USB-MIDI2.0

- Network MIDI2 (UDP based)

- Universal MIDI Packet (UMP) Endpoints discovery and dynamic configuration

- (Possibly) MIDI Capability Inquiry (MIDI-CI)

Why and How We Updated Our License Policy for Use of Open Source - Nico Rikken, Alliander & Jonas van den Bogaard, Alliander N.V.
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:35 CEST
As open source becomes increasingly important, more organizations are recognizing its value. However, organizations like Alliander, a Dutch Grid Operator, which are not primarily software companies, face unique challenges in its adoption.

One of the first policies we created as an OSPO was the license policy for the use of open source. It quickly became the most viewed page of our OSPO guidance. As our understanding of open source in the enterprise grew, we encountered more licenses and edge cases that needed to be addressed. Consequently, our policy expanded to the point where it became unwieldy for our colleagues to use. We took the time to restructure our license policy to accommodate more situations while making it easier to understand for those new to open source licensing.

In this presentation, we will discuss how the Alliander OSPO developed a licensing policy that evolved in complexity over time. We will cover the issues we needed to address, the process of updating our policy, and the details of the updated policy itself. Our story underscores the value an OSPO can gain from close collaboration with senior developers, software asset management, and the legal department.

Feasibility and Architecture of a Dual-Board Embedded System: Yocto & Zephyr Integration - Andrea Ricchi & Dario Binacchi, Amarula Solutions
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
In this presentation, we provide an in-depth look at our experience conducting an industrial feasibility study focused on a dual-board embedded system designed for communication over CAN bus. The system architecture consists of two boards, each with distinct operating environments. The primary board runs a Linux-based system that leverages Flutter for a responsive graphical user interface, while the secondary board operates on Zephyr RTOS, utilizing LVGL to deliver lightweight graphical functionality.

We walk through the complete development lifecycle of this system, beginning with hardware selection and bring-up, progressing through board support package (BSP) development, device tree configuration, and peripheral driver integration. We also discuss the differences in system architecture between Linux and Zephyr. We then analyze Flutter and LVGL, evaluating their suitability for embedded UI development, performance trade-offs, and integration strategies.

Attendees will gain practical insights into designing and evaluating industrial embedded systems while overcoming the challenges of multi-platform development and integration.

How and Why Do the Bad Guys Attack Embedded Products? - Marta Rybczynska, Ygreky
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Unlike traditional IT systems, embedded devices are often physically accessible to attackers. This key difference shapes both the threats and the methods used to exploit them.

In this talk, Marta will explore the attacker's mindset and approach: what they see, how they think, and where they strike - using real-world examples from recent years. She will walk through physical interfaces, software stacks, and the often-overlooked organizational and social "features" that open the door to compromise.

Participants will learn how to map the attack surface of their own products and build a so-called "threat model" of their.

To wrap up, Marta will share practical recommendations to avoid the most common pitfalls - and reflect on what has (and hasn’t) changed since Jake Edge’s observations at ELC 2009.

Typically, this is called network broadcast storms and network attacks. Rate limiting packet ingress is a key strategy in preventing high processor bandwidth consumption caused by a network storm. In general, rate limiting packet ingress implies intentionally dropping packets. In order to setup ingress rate limiting, several different options are possible. These options include evaluating the tc Linux utility (e.g. tc qdisc), eBPF, or simply adjusting the Ethernet PHY link speed. A demonstration of these three options in action and how they can be used to prevent high-rate ingress traffic from causing negative processor impact will be showcased. A comparison of the impact from using tc and eBPF will also be discussed. The overall goal is to use these options to drop ingress packets in order to minimize ARM microprocessor bandwidth.

Digital Commons: Technological Building Blocks for European Digital Sovereignty - Nick Gates, OpenForum Europe & Mirko Boehm, The Linux Foundation
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
European digital sovereignty has become one of the dominant narratives for the development of European public digital infrastructure. This panel will make the case that a Digital Commons approach provides scalable, open source alternatives that enhance choice and technical control, while providing viable options for policymakers implementing digital sovereignty initiatives.

In the session, technical experts will share examples of how initiatives like the proposed Open Internet Stack and EuroStack are creating amplification opportunities for developers. The session will explore proposed Technological Building Blocks – such as network infrastructure and identity frameworks – and show how Digital Commons mapped to these Building Blocks can be integrated into workflows.

In doing so, the session will show that Digital Commons projects enable true interoperability through open design, access, community governance, and APIs – essential elements for resilient and maintainable infrastructure. Participants will gain insights into leveraging these tools, understand patterns, and learn about European Commission funding mechanisms supporting open, sovereign infrastructure development.

Freedom, Diversity, and Sovereignty: The Power of Open Source in Europe’s Digital Future - John Samuel, Seventh State
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
As the world grows increasingly fragmented, Europe stands at a digital crossroads. The loss of digital independence threatens its cultural, intellectual, and economic values. Post-Brexit, freedom of movement has been constrained—now, Europe risks a similar fate in the digital realm. Dependence on proprietary, foreign technologies undermines Europe’s digital sovereignty and its ability to shape its future.

This talk explores why Europe must invest in open-source software to preserve its freedoms, diversity, and identity in an evolving digital ecosystem. Open-source is more than technology—it’s a path to autonomy, reduced corporate dependency, and dynamic local markets that drive innovation. As software reshapes our lives, open-source ensures Europe’s digital landscape remains as diverse as the continent itself.

We’ll examine how open-source can counter AI’s global, generic biases by fostering systems that reflect Europe’s rich cultural tapestry. By embracing open-source, Europe can protect its digital future and core freedoms of movement, trade, and expression that define its identity. What does Europe stand to lose if it fails to invest in open-source technologies?

Engineering Trust: Formulating Continuous Compliance for Open Source - Paul Albertella & Kaspar Matas, Codethink
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Requirements are broken. High-level requirements are a wish list; stakeholders just make a list of features. Low-level requirements are a narrative; developers just describe what is implemented.

Formal process models see the dynamic nature of FOSS projects as a problem, but this can be a key part of their value. However, because requirements are broken, the intent and expectations that inform the software are often lost in the noise.

The Eclipse Trustable Software Framework (TSF) is a lightweight continuous compliance framework, designed as and for FOSS. It lets you organise and evidence your own objectives, not just those demanded by standards. As an open project, with only git as a prerequisite, it is also workflow-agnostic.

Its unique outcome is an automated, transparent and traceable body of evidence, quantified by a confidence score. This informs project decisions, such as where to focus future efforts, and enables consumers to evaluate their trust in the software.

We provide an overview of the TSF and examples of how it is applied. We then show how the model and methodology can be mapped to functional safety standards, to support certification and ongoing assessment.

Why Quantum Safe Encryption Is the Next Y2K, and How To Be Prepared - Joe Winchester, IBM
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Client server computing relies on encryption algorithms to ensure that data sent across networks cannot be read, or faked, by untrusted parties. This is the rock on which financial computing works in a business to customer environment, as well as how data at rest is protected from malicious prying eyes reading our personal data.

This talk will cover the basics of how Diffe-Hellman encryption works, how symmetric and asymetric keys operate, as well as how all of this will soon become unsafe because of quantum computing. As well as showing the audience the basics (no maths degree required) this talk will show how quantum safe encryption is able to address this, and how folks can get wise and get started.

A Slice of Zephyr Pi! - Chris Boross, Raspberry Pi
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
Since the first Raspberry Pi boards were released in 2012, they have been used by hobbyists, educators and professionals all over the world, and pushed to their limits in space, on deserts and in the deep sea. With the introduction of the RP2040 and RP2350 microcontrollers over the past few years, Raspberry Pi entered the world of deeply embedded systems with some fresh ideas. The Zephyr community quickly set to work supporting this new hardware – and it hasn’t stopped since!

This talk will cover the current state of Zephyr support for Raspberry Pi microcontrollers, how we got here and how developers can contribute to further improvements. This includes working on building blocks of the open source embedded ecosystem such as OpenOCD. We will look at support for Rust and RISC-V, as well as the Programmable I/O (PIO) which is unique to Raspberry Pi. Finally, we will show a survey of open source applications and hardware built with the combination of Zephyr and Raspberry Pi, with some tips for using them in your own projects.

Building a Zephyr-Native Audio Framework With Sound Open Firmware - Iuliana Prodan, NXP Semiconductors
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
In this session, we will explore the audio stack and frameworks available in Zephyr, with a particular focus on Sound Open Firmware (SOF) - an open-source audio digital signal processing (DSP) firmware and SDK that provides essential infrastructure and tools for audio and signal processing development.

With the release of SOF 2.0, the project has integrated Zephyr RTOS, simplifying and improving its codebase. However, SOF remains tightly coupled to a Linux host OS driver, making it primarily suited for MPUs.

This talk will dive into decoupling SOF from Linux to enable standalone operation on MCUs, making it the go-to audio framework for Zephyr.

Key topics will include:

• Replacing Linux-based host communication

• Modifying SOF firmware to run without Linux-driven configuration

• Leveraging Zephyr drivers for hardware control

Join us to discuss the next steps in making SOF a truly Zephyr-native audio framework.

Integrating EPSS and CVSS in Open Policy Agent To Quarantine Real-world Vulnerabilities - Nigel Douglas, Cloudsmith
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) and EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) are both valuable tools for vulnerability management, but they serve different purposes. CVSS assesses the inherent severity of a vulnerability, whereas EPSS estimates the likelihood of that vulnerability being exploited in the wild. At Cloudsmith, we integrate open source projects like EPSS and the Trivy scanner for CVSS analysis into Open Policy Agent (OPA) to strengthen supply chain enforcement.

In this session, we’ll examine four recent CVEs that highlight the contrast between these two approaches—cases where vulnerabilities score highly under CVSS but have a low EPSS probability, and others with high EPSS scores (indicating strong exploit potential) that had not yet been published in the NIST CVE database at the time of artifact scanning. These examples underscore the importance of leveraging both CVSS and EPSS in a comprehensive vulnerability management strategy.

We’ll also explore how open-source tools like OPA can be used to enforce these security controls effectively within the software supply chain.

Enhancing Interrupt Controller Reliability: Implementing Error Detection Correction in Linux - Priyadarsini G, Samsung Semiconductor India Research, Bangalore
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Error Detection and Correction (EDAC) is critical for ensuring data integrity and system reliability, particularly in modern high-performance computing architectures. ARM’s Generic Interrupt Controller is widely used in multi-core processors design, where fault tolerance is essential for maintaining system stability. With the rising risk of transient and permanent faults due to hardware aging, radiation effects, and environmental interference, integrating EDAC mechanisms into interrupt controller is essential for preventing data corruption and unexpected system failures.

This work presents the first implementation of EDAC for ARM GIC-600 interrupt controller in Linux kernel, extending EDAC subsystem with new patches and drivers to integrate ARM’s error-reporting capabilities. The talk explores the necessity of EDAC in mitigating errors in interrupt controller and includes sample code snippets demonstrating how to extend the Linux EDAC framework to support error logging and correction.

Furthermore, we present performance benchmarks and case studies evaluating the effectiveness of EDAC in interrupt controller, highlighting trade-offs between error resilience and system overhead.

Yocto or Debian for Your Embedded System? Yes. - Alan Martinovic, Northern.tech
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Many embedded products start with a stock Debian image. It’s quick to get started and familiar from laptop installations, but what works for prototyping becomes a liability as the product matures. A stock installation created directly on the device—by clicking through menus and tweaking settings at runtime—gets frozen into a fragile “golden image” that breaks as soon as you need reproducibility or more than a few people work on the device.

On the other hand, Yocto gives you full control—down to the exact version of systemd or how 'ls' gets built... even when you don't want to. It’s powerful, but comes with a steep learning curve, long build times, and complexity that feels overwhelming in the early stages of development.

This talk is about a third approach. By reusing prebuilt Debian packages, you can assemble a custom OS without relying on the golden image or Yocto. We’ll look at how this model works and show hands-on examples of building minimal images with several tools and how it compares to the other two approaches.

Demystifying Containers and Container Images - Dan Čermák, SUSE
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Containers have become a cornerstone of modern IT infrastructure, yet, despite their widespread adoption, many technical fundamentals behind the container ecosystem are not widely known and lead to confusion and open questions like:

- Are containers just lightweight virtual machines?

- What are the layers of a container image?

- Are containers inherently more secure than workloads running on bare metal?

This session aims to demystify the underlying concepts behind containers and container images. We will trace the historical and technical evolution, beginning with foundational features like namespaces and cgroups, and how they are employed by container engines like Docker and Podman. Then we will provide an overview of how container images are constructed and how containers are launched from container images by Docker and Podman.

Whether you are new to containerization or looking to solidify your foundational knowledge, this talk will provide you with the necessary groundwork to successfully navigate the containerization landscape.

Towards Quality SBOMs: The OpenChain Telco SBOM Guide - Marc-Etienne Vargenau, Nokia
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
OpenChain is the international standard for open source license compliance programs ; it has been created by a joined effort of the community. The OpenChain project has several work groups. The Telco work group was formed to create a recommendation for an SBOM format to be exchanged between telecommunication companies, their suppliers and customers.

The result is the "OpenChain Telco SBOM Guide" that describes what a quality SBOM should contain and how and when it should be distributed. It includes industry standard requirements like "NTIA SBOM Minimum elements" and PURL. Although developed by telcos, it is generic and can be used by other industries.

The OpenChain Telco SBOM Guide is used by Nokia as a basis for its SBOM format. The talk will discuss lessons learned from implementing the Guide at Nokia. Putting the Guide in practice has led the community to provide a minor release 1.1.

Nokia provided an open source tool to validate SBOMs against the Guide. It allows to recursively validate linked SBOMs. It is available under Apache-2.0 license.

Team Topologies and the Value Paths for OSPOs & ISPOs - Clare Dillon, CURIOSS
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
In 2019 Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais’s published Team Topologies, which became a widely influential book in the software and DevOps communities, praised for its practical framework on organizing teams for fast flow and effectiveness. The book defines four fundamental team types (including enabling and platform teams). Team Topologies' popularity drove investment in enabling and platform teams, as organizations attempted to reduce cognitive load and support stream-aligned teams through better internal tooling and collaboration structures. Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) and InnerSource Program Offices (ISPOs) are organizational units that enable open collaboration practices. In this talk, Clare will use the Team Topologies framework as a lens to understand how these program offices fit into an organization’s structure. This talk will explore how Team Topologies can provide a foundation for crafting a clear and compelling value proposition for OSPOs and ISPOs. It helps translate the often intangible or misunderstood work of these program offices into well-defined roles, interactions, and outcomes that resonate with business, engineering, and leadership audiences.

MISRA C and C++ in OSS: Yes, We Can! - Roberto Bagnara, BUGSENG / University of Parma
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
Building software systems that embody industry best practices for safety and security cannot be done in unrestricted C or C++. While C and C++ have many strong points, their rooting the the C of the 1970's are the origin of their weakness: they have many aspects that are not fully defined, obscure corners that can easily mislead programmers, and C comes without any sort of run-time error detection. As open-source software is being adopted in safety- and security-critical systems, compliance with the relevant industry standards is becoming a priority. The MISRA C and MISRA C++ coding standard define subsets of C and C++ that have been adopted across all industry sectors that develop software in critical contexts. In this tutorial, we introduce MISRA C/C++, their key role in the development of critical systems' software and their relevance to industry safety and security standards. The presentation is specifically designed for open-source practitioners and will leverage our experience in bringing the MISRA coding standards in open-source projects (most prominently, Xen and Zephyr).

From Radar Echoes To Real-Time Recognition: Deep Learning on Another Planet an Open Source Workflow - Viktor Somogyi, Netwerk / HUN-REN / ESA
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
What happens when you combine real radar images of Venus, a bunch of volcanoes, and deep learning? In this talk, I’ll walk you through a fully open-source machine learning pipeline that turns extraterrestrial data into structured scientific insights. Our goal is to automatically recognize geological formations like craters, ridges, or volcanoes on radar imagery — a bit like Google Maps, but for another planet.

The workflow starts with hand-labeled GeoJSON data in QGIS, then moves through preprocessing, training, and testing using PyTorch, scikit-learn, and AWS SageMaker — all running on Linux-based cloud infrastructure. This ESA (European Space Agency) funded scientific project is coordinated by the Hungarian Research Network (HUN-REN), and every part of it is powered by open tools and services.

If you're curious about how Linux, Python, and AWS can work together to map alien surfaces, this session will take you there — without leaving Earth.

Zephyr & Linux Devicetree, Similarities and Differences – Practical Guide To Boards, Shields and Con - Stephan Linz, Navimatix GmbH & Tobias Kästner, inovex GmbH
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
With the introduction of Devicetree translation into the Zephyr build process, not only was a proven hardware description language integrated as the state of the art, but also the door to a new art of metaprogramming was opened for the first time for deep embedded programming.

After a short introduction, this talk will take a practical look at the terms commonly used in Zephyr, such as boards, shields and connectors, explain their differences to familiar build and runtime processes from the Linux world and show the limits of the abstractions that can currently be realized with Zephyr. Simple examples for daily work will be presented, but also terms such as Nexus or Shield Stack will be defined in more detail.

Lightning Talk: Protecting Zephyr Against Memory Safety Vulnerabilities With the New CHERI Hardware Architecture - Jennifer Jackson, University of Birmingham
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:40 - 16:50 CEST
There is currently an urgent need for companies to reduce and eventually eliminate software-based memory safety vulnerabilities from their product lines. This requirement begins with the underlying operating systems and extends to the applications that depend on them.

This talk will advocate that now is the right time for the Zephyr operating system to embrace an emerging new hardware architecture extension called CHERI (Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions) to protect its software and applications against memory vulnerabilities from being exploited.

The CHERI technology has a development history spanning nearly 15 years and is backed by the recent formation of the CHERI Alliance - a consortium of businesses (including ARM, Google and Microsoft), academic institutions, and government organisations.

The talk will provide a summary of the CHERI technology, the latest developments, and the work being done to provide CHERI-RISC-V architecture support for Zephyr.
