Turning the Ignition on Safety: Zephyr RTOS in Automotive Compliance
summary
Zephyr claims low-latency determinism with a tickless kernel and MPU/MMU isolation, provides upstream benchmarks since 4.1 to measure ISR-to-thread latency, and targets IEC 61508 SIL3 kernel scope covering scheduler, IPC and memory (about 70% of safety use cases). Integrators must do HARA and SOC-specific drivers; Linum is adding an Infineon TriCore CAN driver and artifacts, using hardware-driven Ztests and a StrictDoc+SPDX traceability dashboard that maps safety goals to code and tests.
