Collaborate on Linux for Use in Safety-Critical Systems?
summary
A collaborative effort called SIL2LinuxMP claims to produce the procedures, evidence and tools needed to qualify Linux on multicore platforms to IEC 61508 SIL2 level; a preliminary compliance roadmap reviewed with a safety authority exists and 16 companies contributed practical kernel investigations, tooling surveys and workshops. The project publishes a knowledgebase soon and shows feasibility with reference system analysis, but it does not build custom certified kernels, cannot engineer each integrator’s product, and does not remove legal responsibility for deployers.
