Cryptography Support in Zephyr: Recent Changes and Upcomings - Valerio Setti, BayLibre
Monday August 25, 2025 09:55 - 10:35 CEST
D202
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The main reason for TinyCrypt deprecation is basically that it’s no longer maintained so it cannot get any security fix/improvement nor be adapted to the upcoming PSA interface.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.

Chain Reaction: Remixing CNCF’s Supply Chain Security Guide for 2025 - John Kjell, ControlPlane
Monday August 25, 2025 14:25 - 15:05 CEST
Emerald Room
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.

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
D201
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.

Faster, More Reliable Identity & Access Management Using Verifiable Credentials - Heather Dahl, Indicio
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
TBA
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
Elicium 1
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.

The Chain of Command: Building Trust Across Public Sector Software Pipelines - John Kjell, ControlPlane
Monday August 25, 2025 15:35 - 16:15 CEST
G105
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

Know Your Crypto: Standardizing and Detecting Crypto Algorithms the Open Source Way - Matias Daloia, SCANOSS
Monday August 25, 2025 16:30 - 16:45 CEST
G106
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
Emerald Room
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
TBA
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)

Being quick by not having to rewrite code for solved problems was therefore the most interesting promise of Zephyr RTOS when we used for a product prototype of an optical instrument. We'd now like to share what we learned in this context, how exactly Zephyr helped here - especially in the prototyping phase - as well as where it doesn't.

Emphasizing the need for a reassessment of development processes, we’ll discuss the importance of engaging with the Zephyr community and actively participating in the project. Training developers on Zephyr’s functionalities is crucial for maximizing its potential.

The goal is to provide insights into using Zephyr RTOS for efficient product development and encourage well-prepared initiatives, by showing how Zephyr lets one accelerate development while maintaining quality early on.

How V4L2 Transformed To Support Embedded Cameras - Laurent Pinchart, Ideas on Board
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Elicium 1
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
Auditorium
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

ManaTEE: Enabling Verifiable AI Transparency With Confidential Computing - Dayeol Lee & Mingshen Sun, TikTok
Tuesday August 26, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
TBA
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.

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
G102-103
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.

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
G001-002
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
Emerald Room
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.

Extending Container Performance Isolation: Regulating Memory Bandwidth & Cache in the Kernel - Jonathan Perry, Unvariance
Tuesday August 26, 2025 14:10 - 14:50 CEST
G102-103
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.

More Effective Approach To Detecting Potential Deadlocks, DEPT(DEPendency Tracker) - Byungchul Park, SK hynix
Tuesday August 26, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
G104
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.

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
TBA
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.

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
Elicium 1
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.

Powering Up: Lab Automation With Labgrid and CI - Tim Orling, Konsulko Group & Trevor Gamblin, BayLibre
Wednesday August 27, 2025 09:50 - 10:30 CEST
D201
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.

Deploy AI in 20MB: Lightweight Containers for Open Source Developers - Miley Fu, Second State
Wednesday August 27, 2025 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Emerald Room
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
Elicium 1
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.

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.

As open source grows in importance, more (semi)public organizations recognize its value. However, (semi)public organizations face unique challenges in adoption.

For organizations new to open source, developing a strategic approach and ensuring internal readiness can seem overwhelming. From engineering and technical teams to legal, finance, marketing, and executive leadership, aligning stakeholders on responsible and open source participation is critical—but not always straightforward. Many organizations address this by establishing an OSPO to create policies, provide training, and share best practices for open source adoption and contribution.

This panel brings together Open Source leaders from the Dutch (semi)public sector to discuss strategies for managing open source and fostering open source readiness. Panelists will share insights from their own open source journeys, offer practical guidance, and explore best practices for building open source engagement. The discussion will also highlight the role of open source in advancing Digital Sovereignty, ensuring organizations maintain control over their digital infrastructure while leveraging the power of open collaboration.

Building a Zephyr-Native Audio Framework With Sound Open Firmware - Iuliana Prodan, NXP Semiconductors
Wednesday August 27, 2025 15:05 - 15:45 CEST
D202
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.

Towards Quality SBOMs: The OpenChain Telco SBOM Guide - Marc-Etienne Vargenau, Nokia
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
G105
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.

Keeping Your Software Supply Chain Healthy - Daniel Rabinovitz, GitLab
Wednesday August 27, 2025 16:20 - 17:00 CEST
G104
Heading to your annual checkup, you're anxious. Your abandoned gym routine and poor eating habits have left you with elevated sodium levels and unwanted weight gain. Last year's choices could have yielded better health outcomes, but now you face the consequences. Your organization faces similar health risks in its digital ecosystem. During your transformation, have you thoroughly examined your SDLC? Are your systems truly resistant to sophisticated attacks? Could unauthorized licenses be silently compromising your products from within? Effective protection mechanisms exist to safeguard your software supply chain throughout this critical transition.

Join Dan as he covers how to address software supply chain security to keep your organization healthy. Topics covered will include:

- Taking your software supply chain's vital signs with comprehensive security audits

- Diagnosing AI-related vulnerabilities before they become chronic conditions

- Cutting out harmful dependencies while strengthening your codebase's immune system

- Developing a healthy dependency management lifestyle for long-term organizational wellness

Don't let poor digital health decisions compromise your business.

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
TBA
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
D203
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.
