How Linux can meet functional safety expectations without OS certification

 

Summary

Linux was never designed to meet automotive functional safety requirements through traditional certification approaches. Trying to “prove Linux is safe” often leads to unrealistic scope, cost, and risk.

This webinar introduces an alternative safety paradigm: supervision. Rather than changing Linux or attempting full certification, safety is achieved by externally monitoring and controlling system behavior. Experts from Elektrobit will explain how this approach aligns with functional safety standards and assessor expectations.

Key topics and takeaways:

  • Why certifying Linux itself is not a viable strategy
  • How supervision shifts the safety argument from prevention to detection
  • How a supervised Linux approach fits ISO 26262 and SEooC principles
