Elektrobit Unveils EB corbos Linux To Augment Advanced Automotive Functions
Quoting: Elektrobit Unveils EB corbos Linux To Augment Advanced Automotive Functions - Mobility Outlook —
Elektrobit has unveiled EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications, the first open-source operating system (OS) designed to meet automotive functional safety standards.
The new application meets the ISO 26262 ASIL B and IEC 61508 SIL 2 safety standards, enabling the automotive industry to use free open-source software (FOSS) in critical high-performance computing (HPC) areas. This allows for the support of advanced functions such as driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AV), which previously faced restrictions due to stringent safety requirements. Moreover, the OS can also be applied to safety-critical domains in other sectors, including healthcare, machine engineering, and energy.
EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications provides up to 15 years of maintenance, establishing a new benchmark for industry security and reliability. This solution significantly reduces time to market by up to 50% through accelerated development cycles, offering substantial cost savings. Its open-source framework enhances transparency, flexibility, and security, setting it apart from proprietary software options.

Functional safety assessment for open source automotive Linux
The EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications open source operating system developed by Elektrobit and Canonical has received a positive technical assessment by TÜV Nord for the safety element out of context (SEooC) based on the two safety standards ISO 26262 ASIL B and IEC 61508 SIL 2.
This assessment allows automotive manufacturers and suppliers to use Linux in safety-related high-performance computing (HPC) functional domains such as advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles (AV) for the first time says Elektrobit.
ARM and Linux distribution firm Canonical are collaborating with Elektrobit, an independent subsidiary of Tier One supplier Continental, on the technology, which can also be used in safety-relevant domains in other industries such as healthcare, machine engineering, and energy.
