Open Sesame! Why Functional Safety is the Master Key to Open the Door for Linux into Automotive Systems - Nico Peper, Bosch Engineering GmbH

With the introduction of connected devices and high performance hardware Linux is making a clear push also to automotive systems. In this presentation Nico Peper will discuss a possible way to realize an ASIL B (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) system level for an embedded Linux based V2X system. The concrete implementation will be demonstrated as a connected traffic light. He will show the implementation of a multi layered safety concept for that system, which fulfills state of the art automotive development requirements. The resulting hardware and software constrains are elaborated in the talk.
