SW Management in the Embedded IoT Linux context

By Marcel Kurzmann of Bosch Digital
Time: 12:00 Room: S6

Abstract

Back in 2021 we presented our view on Open Source Management for Linux systems and the challenges we saw on automating Open Source Management stating that "Based on the circumstances, that there are different Linux distributions, typically demanding license and obligation setups, architectural aspects to consider and a broad variety of distribution contexts, this could be seen as the "champions league" of Open Source Compliance Management Automation."
The circumstances didn't change, but now after two years in the course of the TOP97 project we had the chance to have a deeper look, widen the horizon (Apertis, Yocto, Elbe, ...), create a build based prototype workflow and also enhance the scope from mere Open Source Management to a holistic Software Management perspective (also covering questions about SBOMs, security, export control, ...). The talk will give an insight in the journey behind us, update on the current status of the progress and an outlook about the services that are planned in the future.
