SEAPATH: Configuring and Testing an Industrial-Grade Linux Platform for Critical Real-Time Applications in the Energy Sector
Talkat LF Energy Embedded Summit @ EOSS 2023 · on Friday, 2023-06-30· at 09:00· Conference Hall (Level 4)·
summary
An industrial virtualization platform is built on Yocto and Debian images with Ceph storage, Linux RT, KVM/QEMU, Open vSwitch, SR-IOV, Pacemaker clustering and PTP time sync, configured by Ansible and ncclient; CI flashes real hardware per PR, reconfigures the cluster and runs about 700 tests with a ~20 minute cycle. Hardware-in-the-loop validates protection logic with a ~10 microsecond HIL cycle, and a CPAs deployment moves to production (protections remain physical).
