Using FOSS as Part of a System Safety Mechanism

Explore the integration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in system safety mechanisms with Paul Albertella from Codethink in this 30-minute conference talk. Delve into the concept of safety, safety mechanisms, and the challenges associated with implementing FOSS in safety-critical systems. Learn about the Safety Test Library (STL) and its technical challenges, including software license restrictions. Discover how to integrate STL with Linux and incorporate it into reference systems for safety-related applications. Gain valuable insights into the perceived challenges and potential solutions for using FOSS in safety-critical environments.
