ELC Europe 2016, Berlin

At the ELC Europe 2016 in Berlin our colleagues Jan Lübbe and Marc Kleine-Budde are talking about two interesting and important presentations about Kernel longterm maintenance strategies and verified boot.

Jan Lübbe talking about long term maintenance strategies of the Linux kernel. For embedded systems, an operation time of more than 10 years is not too untypical, but what do you do if the system has connectivity and you need to care about keeping the system stable and secure at the same time? The mainline kernel has interesting offerings for that, but how do you establish a working maintenance process around it? Jan's talk should give you some interesting insights.

Marc Kleine-Budde talking about verified boot on i.MX6. The crypto boot topic is keeping us busy for quite some time now, so this is a good opportunity for a roll up and the state of the union.

For more discussions about the topic, Marc will also be available at the barebox booth during the booth crawl.

More Conferences in September: Yocto Project Developer Day and KiCon Europe

September 2024 brings a wide variety of conferences: Pengutronix will present talks at the ELCE, Linux Plumbers Conference and All Systems Go. Additionally we will attend two more conferences: The Yocto Project Developer Day in Vienna and the KiCon Europe in Bochum.


Pengutronix at All Systems Go!

This years All Systems Go! will take place on 25. and 26.09.2024 in Berlin. The ASG is a conference about low-level user-space topics. We are happy to contribute a talk about updating systems using RAUC and composefs:


Pengutronix at the Linux Plumbers Conference

The Linux Plumbers Conference 2024 will take place in Vienna from 18. to 20.09.2024. Luckily this does not overlap with the ELCE. Pengutronix will attend the LPC with six colleagues - so watch out for our T-shirts and hoodies and and feel free to chat with us.


Pengutronix at Open Source Summit Europe and Embedded Linux Conference Europe

The Embedded Linux Conference Europe is Pengutronix' most important conference of the year. It is a good place to meet new faces in the embedded community, discuss current topics and future developments with maintainers and developers - and of course: have a beer with old friends. As usual, many Pengutronix colleagues will attend: this year we'll have a 14 person team on site. So watch out for our T-shirts and hoodies and and feel free to chat with us.


umpf - Git on a New Level

Moderne Softwareentwicklung ohne begleitende Versionsverwaltung wie Git ist heutzutage unvorstellbar - Änderungen am Quellcode sollen schließlich nachvollziehbar dokumentiert und beliebige Verssionsstände jederzeit einfach reproduziert werden können. Für Arbeiten an komplexeren Projekten wie etwa dem BSP ("Board Support Package") eines eingebetteten Systems mit mehreren Entwicklungssträngen skaliert ein bloßes Aufeinanderstapeln der einzelnen Änderungen jedoch nicht.


Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2023: Our Recommendations

Last month Pengutronix was present at the Embedded Open Source Summit (EOSS) in Prague. Thanks to all to all speakers for sharing your knowledge! In this blog post we want to shine a spotlight at a few talks that we found especially interesting. (Links to recordings will be added once the recordings are available.)


Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2023: Our Contributions

This year the Embedded Linux Conference Europe (ELCE) is back in Prague! Pengutronix, again, is on a field trip with 15 colleges to attend the conference. The ELCE is one of the big conferences where the Embedded Linux Community meets during the year. This time the ELCE is part of the Embedded Open Source Summit (EOSS): a new conference with only embedded topics and without cloud- or crypto-tracks.


Die Pengutronix Kernel-Beiträge in 2021

2022 hat begonnen, und obwohl Corona unsere Workflows stark verändert hat, hat das Pengutronix Team auch in diesem Jahr wieder etliche Beiträge zum Linux-Kernel geleistet. Das letzte Kernel-Release in 2020 war 5.10, das letzte in 2021 war 5.15 - schauen wir also, was sich dazwischen bei uns getan hat.


Showcase: Embedded off-the-shelf

Ein Firmware-Upgrade ist fällig. Eine neu implementierte Funktion muss ausgerollt, eine Sicherheitslücke gepatcht oder neue Hardware-Unterstützung hinzugefügt werden. Die Software ist zwar leistungsfähig, aber komplex. Pengutronix' Strategie, mit dieser Komplexität umzugehen, ist die Arbeit an einem versionskontrollierten Board Support Package (BSP) mit kontinuierlichen Updates und Tests auf dem neuesten Mainline-Linux-Kernel.


Pengutronix at FOSDEM 2021

"FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. In 2021, they will gather online." -- FOSDEM
