ELISA (Enabling Linux in Safety Applications) Project has announced that Robert Bosch GmbH and XPENG Motors have joined the project, marking its commitment to Linux and its effective use in safety-critical applications in connected cars.
Other ELISA Project members include ADIT, AISIN AW CO., Arm, Automotive Grade Linux, Automotive Intelligence and Control of China, Banma, Boeing, BMW Car IT GmbH, Codethink, Elektrobit, Horizon Robotics, Huawei Technologies, Intel, Lotus Cars, Toyota, Kuka, Linuxtronix. Mentor, NVIDIA, SUSE, Suzuki, Wind River, OTH Regensburg, Toyota and ZTE.
Hosted by the Linux Foundation, ELISA is an open-source initiative that aims to create a shared set of tools and processes to help companies build and certify Linux-based safety-critical applications and systems.
Launched in February 2019, ELISA works with Linux kernel and safety communities to agree on what should be considered when Linux is used in safety-critical systems.
The project has several dedicated working groups that focus on providing resources for system integrators to apply and use to analyse qualitatively and quantitatively on their systems.
Notably, ELISA is open to everyone, and anyone can develop and contribute code, get elected to the Technical Steering Committee, or help steer the project forward in any number of ways.
Developers who are elected to the Technical Steering Committee or who participate as project leaders will provide leadership regarding the technical direction.
Philipp Ahmann, Business Development Manager - Embedded Open Source, Cross-Domain Computing Solutions, Robert Bosch GmbH, noted that due to increasing product complexity and driving requirements in various areas of the software-defined vehicle towards mixed-critical workloads requires thinking and going new ways to widen traditional approaches of systems engineering.
“Due to Bosch’s existing expertise in Linux and functional safety, the formal membership of Bosch within the ELISA project is a logical and consequent step,” he added.
Earlier, Ahmann was nominated and elected as the new Chair of the ELISA Project Technical Steering Committee (TSC). He has been involved in the project since May 2019 as an ambassador and member of the Technical Steering Committee (TSC), who has written blogs and given presentations at various Linux Foundation conferences and industry shows.
Yu Peng, General Manager, Embedded Systems, XPENG Motors, said, “We recognise the crucial and diverse role mobility plays in people’s lives and aspire to expand future mobility through intelligent revolution, from the road to the air.”
