Konsulko to speak at multiple OSSE events, September 16-19

/in , /by

We’re heading to Austria for Open Source Summit Europe, with a large contingent of our engineers, as well as four speakers for this always important conference.

September 16: AGL updates to Yocto Project 5.0

Principal Engineer Scott Murray will join the Linux Foundation’s Walt Miner to present “What’s Happening with Automotive Grade Linux and How Our Update to Yocto 5.0 Went.” Walt and Scott will share some lessons learned from upgrading from the 4.0 to 5.0 versions of the Yocto Project and provide an update on the latest AGL features included in the Ricefish release.

September 17: Rewriting zblock in Rust

Vitaly Wool, Principal Engineer and GM of Konsulko AB will discuss “Rusty Swapping: Rewriting a Zswap Backend in Rust.” Rust has gained popularity as the second Linux kernel high-level language. Recently, Vitaly rewrote a zswap backend called zblock in Rust. This talk will cover the main principles of zblock (which stay the same no matter which language is used), the obstacles met while implementing it in Rust, and finally the comparison of the two.

September 17: Best Practices for Scarthgap

Principal Engineer Tim Orling will present “Are You Ready For Scarthgap? Best Practices For The Latest Yocto Project LTS Release.” Tim will discuss setting up your own “distribution” and board-support package (BSP), and share techniques for managing and discovering layers. He’ll discuss best practices to ensure your public layers are ready for the Layer Index, and investigate meta-lts-mixin layers. He’ll look at the latest tools for Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), license compliance (SPDX), and software vulnerabilities (CVEs), and share ways to leverage new IDE tools added in this release.

September 19: A/B Update Solutions with Yocto Project

At Yocto Project Developer Day 2024 (co-located with OSEE) Senior Engineer Leon Anavi will provide a “Side-by-side Comparison of Dual A/B Update Solutions with the Yocto Project.” Leon’s talk will provide a detailed exploration of Mender, RAUC, and swupdate, comparing them on the same hardware platforms. He’ll discuss their advantages and disadvantages and how to select the most appropriate open-source solution for specific projects. Leon will delve into various use cases and practical examples, concluding with a side-by-side comparison.

We hope you’ll be able to join us in Vienna.

Konsulko engineer speaks at AGL All Member Meeting in Berlin

Scott Murray, Principal Software Engineer at Konsulko Group presented at the summer Automotive Grade Linux AMM. Scott shared details around the work done the past few years to prepare AGL before it upgraded to the new Yocto Project long-term support release, Scarthgap, earlier this year.

Konsulko Group in Paris at Embedded Recipes 2023

/in /by

Three Konsulko engineers traveled to Paris (left to right, in créatif senior Frank Tizzoni‘s great caricature): António Oliveira came from Portugal, Darko Alavanja from Serbia, Scott Murray from Canada.

Embedded Recipes was held over two days in late September at Fondation Biermans Lapotre. The event had a nice format: single room, single track. That meant everyone stayed together for its duration which made it easier to meet people.

We talked a little about everything: kernel internals, prototyping tools, software updates, Yocto Project, machine learning…

Scott gave a nice overview of the Automotive Grade Linux project, its history, current work and future plans.

Konsulko Group to speak at EOSS / ELC / ALS in Prague

/in /by

Konsulko engineers will be giving two talks at Embedded Open Source Summit (EOSS), a new Linux Foundation umbrella event held in Prague, Czech Republic, June 27-30, 2023. Attending virtually is also an option. Incorporated into EOSS are the Embedded Linux Conference (ELC) and the Automotive Linux Summit Europe (ALS).

On Tuesday, June 27, Konsulko Principal Engineer Scott Murray will present a Lightning Talk: Vehicle Signal Specification and KUKSA.val Updates in AGL at ALS.

The Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) has been included in the AGL UCB by incorporating the KUKSA.val project. Scott will provide an update on the work done for the upcoming Prickly Pike UCB release.

On Thursday, June 29 at ELC, Tim Orling, Konsulko Principal Engineer and Ilies Chergui of Medtronic will speak about Maintaining a Community BSP Layer: Updating Meta-Tegra Through Major Changes.

The meta-tegra BSP layer supports the NVIDIA Jetson family of systems-on-module and has an active OpenEmbedded for Tegra community. Tim and Ilies will discuss changes in the latest SDKs including the bootloader and the trusted OS, and how these affect secure boot and disk encryption implementations. They will also discuss changes needed to support over the air updates and cover how the community keeps up with upstream Open Embedded/Yocto Project changes, as well as the roadmap for support for future Jetson platforms and Yocto Project releases.

Please join Scott, Tim, and a good-sized contingent of our engineers in Prague (or virtually). Register here.

Scott Murray on VSS & KUKSA.val at AGL AMM & Embedded World

/in /by

Konsulko Group Principal Software Engineer, Scott Murray will present Vehicle Signaling Specification and KUKSA.val in AGL at the Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting in Berlin on Thursday, March 9, 2023.

The Vehicle Signaling Specification (VSS) is an emerging standard to define and categorize vehicle signals. AGL members who attend the session will receive a high-level overview of what VSS and the related Vehicle Information Service Specification (VISS) provide. This will be followed by a discussion of how the KUKSA.val VSS implementation has been integrated into the AGL demonstration stack.

The following week, Scott will be on hand at the AGL stand at Embedded World (Hall 4, Stand 4-171) in Nuremberg, March 14-16. He’ll be happy to talk about VSS, KUKSA.val and many other AGL technical topics. Please stop by if you are visiting the show.

AGL All member meeting

Konsulko engineers to present at AGL AMM in Tokyo

/in /by

On Tuesday, March 5, Konsulko Group’s Scott Murray and Matt Ranostay will present
Building an AGL Telematics Profile Demonstration Platform at the Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting in Tokyo, Japan.

The recently-added AGL telematics profile serves as a base for building headless telematics device images. The talk will discuss what the profile includes and outline how it can be used. We will walk through a practical use case, describing use of the profile to build an AGL demonstration platform for an insurance company’s driver data collection device, including reading CAN data from a vehicle’s OBD-II port and sending it to a provider’s servers using a wireless connection, and the effort to integrate these on the demonstration AGL telematics platform.

If you are attending at AGL AMM, we hope to see you at this session.

See you at the AGL AMM (and at ELC Europe the week after)

This week, Konsulko Group is coming to Dresden, Germany to the Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting. Matt Ranostay will present State of Connectivity in AGL, an overview and roadmap of bindings and binding APIs in the current and upcoming release of AGL. Scott Murray will speak on the developer panel.

Next week, Konsulko engineers will travel to Edinburgh, UK to give four technical sessions at co-located Linux Foundation events.
* At the OpenIoT Summit, Leon Anavi will speak about Open Source MQTT Brokers, a lightweight publish/subscribe machine-to-machine protocol with a reliable bi-directional communication in (near) real-time, and at Embedded Linux Conference Europe, Comparison of Voice Assistant SDKs for Embedded Linux Devices, including Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa as well as an open source alternative, Mycroft.
* At ELC Europe, Scott Murray will explore Building Container Images with OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project, discussing container size, reproducibility, security vulnerability fixing, and license compliance.
