By Paul Sherwood (primary), John Ellis of Codethink
Time: 15:30 Room: S4

Abstract

Codethink achieved ASIL-D Tool certification for our Deterministic Construction Service (DCS) in 2021. In 2023 we expect to achieve ISO 26262 certification of a Linux-based OS built with DCS. With this talk, Codethink will share our safety journey and show how open source can be used in the production of critical software at scale starting with the automotive industry and continuing to other industries like medical, industrial, and financial.
