A long-expected achievement for our L4Re Hypervisor: As the foundation of EB corbos Linux for Safety Applications and base of the automotive safety architecture, our open-source software reached another milestone that showcases its strength and flexibility, bringing the Software Defined Vehicle one step further on its path towards the future.
Our long-standing partner Elektrobit has recently made significant progress towards gaining a fully certified Linux for Safety Applications: After independent auditor TÜV NORD’s positive technical assessment based on the safety standards ISO 26262 (ASIL B) and IEC 61508 (SIL 2) earlier this year, the base of the EB corbos Hypervisor, that is an essential part of this platform, got certified according to ISO26262 (ASIL B) by TÜV SÜD, running on an ARMv8-A architecture.
This safety recognition is an important step in our efforts to make open source available for the entire software-defined vehicle (SDV), including safety-related applications. As the technological foundation of the EB corbos Hypervisor, our open-source L4Re Hypervisor provides the necessary virtualization capabilities and also an independent hypervisor solution.
It is good to see how our collaboration that started more than 7 years ago is amplifying the benefits of open source for players in the automotive industry: security and efficiency, but also flexibility and broad applicability for software-defined vehicles, including critical applications.
