  • Developing Open-Source Software RTOS with Functional Safety in Mind ? Anas Nashif, Intel Open-Source Technology Center Disclaimer
    Developing Open-Source Software RTOS with Functional Safety in Mind ? Anas Nashif, Intel Open-Source Technology Center Disclaimer: I am not a safety expert. Credit: https://unsplash.com/@rawpixel Can open-source software be used for Functional Safety? • Short answer is yes, using open-source software is very common, in all areas • But… • Open-source software usually require major transformation before it can be used • Mostly such transformation happens behind closed doors (if license allows that) • Complete disconnect between original source and “certified” code • Transformation of open-source code to be functionally safe is “expensive” • Following standards very early in a project life-cycle is key • There are many standards… Safety Standards “The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.” [Tanenbaum] Is this possible? Example: RTOS • Open source implementation • Small trusted code base (in terms of LoC) • Safety oriented architecture • Built in security model • POSIX compliant C library • Supports deterministic thread scheduling • Supports multi-core thread scheduling • Proof that ISO compliant development was done • Accountability for the implementation • Industry Adoption • Certification friendly interfaces Cathedral and the Bazaar • Open-source Software is not a problem in itself • It is difficult to map a stereotypical open-source development to the V- model • Specification of features • Comprehensive documentation • Traceability from requirements to source code • Number of committers and information known about them • Certification authority not familiar with open-source development V-Model: Software Development Quality Matters • Quality is a mandatory expectation for software across the industry. ... • Software Quality is not an additional requirement caused by functional ..
