In the last few years, embedded systems have become increasingly more complex to keep up with the ever-growing demands of the market. Industries like automotive and healthcare require solutions that are more advanced, faster, and more efficient to meet market needs.
However, the more complex a system becomes, the higher is the probability of failure. Each new functionality brings additional points of failure, making it essential to adopt robust safety mechanisms and advanced monitoring strategies to keep the performance, ensure system integrity, and, above all, guarantee a safe product for the user.
In this talk, we intend to demonstrate how Yocto Project tools and ELISA guidelines can help developers build systems that are more secure and stable.
This talk will feature a hands-on demo of a fail-safe embedded system built with Yocto and aligned with ELISA's safety guidelines. The core of the demo involves fault injection, deliberately triggering a failure to test the system’s recovery process.
We’ll showcase:
- Watchdog timers to detect failures.
- Tracing tools for detailed log analysis.
- Automated rollback to restore the system to a stable state after a crash.
This demo will highlight how Yocto and ELISA simplify the development of robust, safety-compliant systems.
