Linux Power Management Features, Their Relationships and Interactions - Théo Lebrun, Bootlin
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Over time, many features have been introduced into the Linux kernel to tackle various Power Management related needs. Most features rely upon the device model to provide its features, making each feature in isolation have rather understandable behavior and straight forward APIs. Complexity can creep in however when those various features interact with each other. We'll therefore cover features in isolation: system-wide suspend, hibernation, runtime power management, power domains, Quality of Service, etc. On each new step added, we'll stop to reflect on potential interactions or conflicts with previously seen features. Some of those will come from concrete issues encountered during the upstreaming effort of Suspend-to-RAM support on an automative SoC, the TI J7200 platform.

Visions for the Linux Kernel PWM Subsystem - Uwe Kleine-König, BayLibre
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
PWMs are used in a wide range of applications. Most in-kernel usages have only soft requirements regarding precision and switching behaviour (LEDs, fan control, backlight). However if you control a motor you might have higher demands that currently cannot be mapped generically using the current PWM API given the wide variance of hardware drivers and hardware limitations. In this talk Uwe presents his vision how the PWM framework can be changed to better match the needs for higher precision and better control of PWM devices. This includes: * faster and easier control from userspace * tighter rules for lowlevel drivers * a way to determine the best request for a given use case on a certain hardware * more general abstraction of the PWM waveform

How to Contribute a Zephyr Sensor Driver - Maureen Helm, Analog Devices
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:00 - 09:40 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
The Zephyr sensor driver API is a popular area for new contributors to submit code upstream; a sensor driver is well-contained, it doesn't touch more intimidating or complex subsystems, and most importantly, it enables your Zephyr application to interact with the physical world in a new way. Naturally, you want to share it with the open source community, but how do you do it? This talk will share best practices and common pitfalls encountered by new contributors submitting their first sensor driver, and provide insight into why maintainers request certain changes.

Give Me Back My GPIO Persistence! (Introducing the Libgpiod Gpio-Manager) - Bartosz Golaszewski, Linaro
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:50 - 10:10 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Ever since the GPIO character device was introduced as a proposed uAPI replacement for the deprecated sysfs interface, users have been pointing to the lack of persistence of GPIO state (as in: once the user-space process closes the file descriptor associated with a set of requested lines, their state is no longer defined - in practice: it's driver dependent) as the main issue with the new approach and a significant blocker in porting code from sysfs to libgpiod. Two solutions have been proposed: making the GPIO state persistent in the kernel or providing a centralized authority for controlling GPIOs from user-space. For various reasons the former has been rejected which led to the development of gpio-manager: a user-space daemon built on top of libgpiod that exposes an API to authorized clients and controls GPIOs on their behalf. This talk will present the features of the daemon, the DBus API it implements and the companion command-line client - gpiocli - which aims at allowing straightforward porting of sysfs-based scripts to the new interface.

Virtio for PCI Endpoint Subsystem in Linux Kernel - Manivannan Sadhasivam, Linaro Ltd.
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:50 - 10:30 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Traditionally, Virtio is primarily used in virtualized environments to allow the Hypervisor to Guest communication in an agnostic way. But Virtio as a standard can be leveraged outside virtualization for communication between any two entities.

The PCI Endpoint subsystem in the Linux kernel is used to run Linux on tiny PCI endpoint devices such as modems, NIC, GPU, etc... It requires the developers to write function drivers to communicate with the host. On most occasions, these function
drivers also require counterpart drivers on the host systems. This increases the time required for the project's development, as the development needs to happen on both the host and endpoint systems.

This is where Virtio comes in handy for the PCI Endpoint subsystem. With Virtio, developers can focus on developing the back-end drivers on the endpoint side and leverage the existing front-end drivers on host systems (such as virt-net, virt-gpu, etc...).

In this talk, Manivannan Sadhasivam will present the proposals received from the community for adding Virtio backend support to the PCI Endpoint subsystem and elaborate on the one that got a consensus to move forward, along with the future plans.

Zephyr Build System: Sysbuild and New Hardware Model - Torsten Tejlmand Rasmussen, Nordic Semiconductor
Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:50 - 10:30 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
The Zephyr build system had been reaching its limits in its ability to build multiple images for modern SoCs in its previous hardware model.
The original build system began with the concept of a simple board containing a single core SoC for which you would build a single image. In today's world however, developers want to build multiple images for boards which may have multiple SoCs and / or SoCs with multiple CPU cores. This evolution towards complexity led us to the development and introduction of sysbuild and a new hardware model in Zephyr.

The purpose of this talk is to dive into the new hardware model, and what it provides seen from a developer's point of view, and from there continue into sysbuild, where the new hardware model is leveraged in order to build multiple images for a single device. The talk will go over how you as a developer can make the best use of the new hardware model and sysbuild to effectively build a complete project.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 10:05 - 10:20 CEST
Hall A (Level 2)
A symphony is an elaborate musical composition created from movements that when ordered and structured can inspire, inform, and create a unified experience for the audience. What can we observe and reflect upon in technology that enabled the rising tide of security? As we continue to see experimentation and innovation within the open source ecosystem, new projects are emerging that go beyond singular notes and present security constructs arranged in measures together as useful capabilities. This keynote will explore how each of these elements come together and provide us with the notes to develop the next movement in this symphony.

Pinctrl and GPIO - Interactions and Footguns - Chen-Yu Tsai, Google LLC
Tuesday September 17, 2024 10:10 - 10:30 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
The Linux Kernel has two subsystems that handle external pins: pinctrl that handles function muxing and electrical characteristics, and GPIO that handles generic input/output usage on individual pins. Depending on how the hardware is implemented, the two could be completely separate, or deeply intertwined. This presentation will introduce the hardware integration designs , how they should map to the kernel subsystems. We will dive deeper into the latter case and show how the kernel subsystems can handle it properly with "strict" GPIO pin muxing, and what could happen if the driver isn't implemented correctly, using existing in-tree drivers.

Secure and Encrypted Boot in Zephyr RTOS - Parthiban N, Linumiz
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:20 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
MCUboot enables secure booting of Zephyr RTOS using asymmetric cryptographic signature verification with a public key. The hash of the public key is embedded or compiled with the MCUboot binary by default, which is used for checking the integrity of the public key. To tamper-proof, as an alternate secure boot option, the hash of the public key can be stored securely and retrieved when hardware keys are enabled. Security of embedded SoC's (e.g., i.MX RT) offers more capabilities, such as High Assurance Boot (HAB), Data Co-Processor (DCP), or Trusted Firmware-M (TF-M) implementing the Trustzone for SoC's (e.g., nRF91) to enable secure storage with hardware crypto acceleration or external security modules (e.g., TPM, EdegeLock) to store keys in hardware vaults.

This talk will detail MCUboot secure booting with hardware keys. NXP i.MX RT as an example using HAB for booting singed and encrypted bootloader MCUboot, enabling hardware root of trust, and booting Zephyr RTOS using keys from OTP for verification. We will also see about using the TF-M backend and OTP for secure booting Trustzone-enabled SoCs.

Coping with Zero Days with Cilium Tetragon - Liz Rice, Isovalent
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
However good the tools and processes you use to catch CVEs and security problems pre-deployment, it's still possible that your code and the platform it's running on could be compromised. When a new CVE and its patches are announced, it's called a "zero day", and it's a race against time for security teams to understand whether their deployments are vulnerable, and to get updated versions of all affected components deployed. 

In this talk (with demos) you'll learn about strategies for using the open source runtime security tool, Cilium Tetragon, to detect components that are affected by a CVE. You'll see how eBPF allows Tetragon to generate rich forensic information to understand whether a vulnerability has been exploited in your system, and understand how the component was compromised.

When we talk about the risks associated with containers in the context of enterprise workloads, there are various factors that come into play - multiple vendors and individuals, lack of standardization and conformance, tooling fatigue and of course, vulnerabilities! While the SLSA framework and OCI specification are great signals of your risk posture and conformance, how do you as a developer ensure that you're following best practices while staying up-to-date with the latest releases? In this session, learn how SUSE's Base Container Images empower you to build enterprise-ready containers without compromising on developer experience, security, or flexibility.

Testing Your Yocto Project - from Ptest and Testimage to LAVA - Clara Kowalsky & Florian Bezdeka, Siemens
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Before setting up a test automation framework for your Yocto project, it is worth considering which options are available and most suitable. In this talk, we will explore which tools are appropriate depending on project complexity and scalability. For a small Yocto project where a test environment needs to be up and running as quickly as possible and only one piece of hardware is supported, a complete test setup can be created using only the testimage class for image testing and ptest for package testing. The tests can be carried out locally or in a CI/CD system. Using Gitlab CI/CD as an example, we will show how the results of testimage can be neatly displayed as a unit test report. For more complex projects that support a variety of architectures and require tests to be automatically scheduled on devices, it is advisable to use an automated test framework. We will demonstrate how ptest and pytest can be integrated into a LAVA test environment and what alternatives to LAVA exist.

Hall B (Level 2)
DeviceTree (DT) based systems usually lack a platform or firmware based device power management framework. Device drivers are left to figure out if a device is already powered on at probe and duplicate power management logic to manage system resources such as clks or interconnects. This is unlike ACPI based systems where the firmware provides standardized device power states to power on or off a device and mostly hides system resources behind a firmware interface. This session will make the case for implementing an ACPI-like power management framework in the Linux kernel via pmdomains registered by a System-on-Chip (SoC) driver. First we'll discuss the problem and previously attempted or ongoing solutions. Then we'll cover a case study implementing an SoC power management driver. Attendees will leave with a greater understanding of SoC power management techniques and the problems kernel developers face in supporting such hardware upstream along with a possible solution to implement this design elsewhere.

How to Generate Test-Cases and Data Mocks for Microservices at Kernel Using eBPF - Neha Gupta & Animesh Pathak, Keploy
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 1)
In this session, we're going to talk about how we can easily record the API calls of any user-level application at Kernel using an EBPF program and convert those to realistic test cases and data mocks/stubs without writing any scripts. How we can set our testing pipelines on auto-pilot? We'll be discussing how to utilise UProbes and KProbes for the same. We'll also talk about how we can integrate this pipeline in popular language native testing libraries like JUnit, Jest, and Go-Test and easily achieve high test coverage on functional test suites. Since testing is very use-case specific, developers often avoid spending effort in writing test cases. Manual effort is being spent by QA to test apps and the industry standard for test automation is 24%. On average 50% of engineering efforts are spent to write and maintain the test scripts. Creating dummy test data is also very time-consuming and still, it is unrealistic test -data, leaving bugs leaking to production. The new-gen AI LLM-based test generation tools like ChatGPT are not fire-and-forget, since it requires effort to understand and correct the scripts generated by those tools and the dummy data is again unrealistic.

Rusty Swapping: Rewriting a Zswap Backend in Rust - Vitaly Wool, Konsulko AB
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Despite all controversies, Rust in recent times has gained popularity as the second Linux kernel high-level language. There’s been discussions about its applicability in various kernel subsystems which yielded tentative conclusions. People have been advised by kernel gurus to use Rust for subsystem implementations rather than for drivers, and the author totally shares that stance. With that said, the author had a zswap backend called zblock ready for but still not accepted into the mainline, so the idea came naturally: to rewrite it in Rust and compare performance and complexity of the two implementations. Whichever wins gets submitted. This talk will cover the main principles of zblock (which stay the same no matter the language used), the obstacles the author met while implementing it in Rust, and finally the comparison of the two. It will be fun.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 11:40 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
Open source is not just a tactical choice for consumption made by a developer. Open source should be a key part of your innovation plan and strategy, and product managers and business leaders need to understand it. From managing a key open source dependency to releasing open source for building an ecosystem and standards, to joining an open source foundation as a core part of a business plan, business owners need to know open source. Often, the business side of the house is not involved in open source decisions and don’t see it as business impacting. This session is about how to get the business side of the house involved in opens source. It is understanding the business planning process and how to ensure open source is included in that process. Whether it is ideation for a new product, managing ongoing investments in a product line or in marketing and launches, open source is a key component of business plans. As the head of the OSPO at Amazon, I work to build bridges with the business side of the house and to show them implications to the business of open source decisions we make. They need to be involved, support and invest in how we do open source at a company.

This talk looks at how corporate and team culture, and organisational structure, impact open source activities at the BBC. We will share our wins and losses in the open source space, and how the culture and organisation has helped or hindered open source. Much of BBC open source is driven by grassroots individuals and teams, rather than through an Open Source Programme Office, which has had benefits and drawbacks. As a publicly funded corporation, the motivations for engaging with open source can be a little different than other organisations, which we will explore. Finally, we will deep dive into the current state of play of open source and InnerSource projects at the BBC, how they are being managed, and what our next steps and future ambitions are.

Tutorial: How to Win Friends & Influence LLMs (with Prompt Engineering) - Rafael Vasquez & James Busche, IBM
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:00 - 12:35 CEST
Room 1.61-1.62 (Level 1)
Part art, part science, prompt engineering is the process of crafting input text to fine-tune a given large language model for best effect. Foundation models have billions of parameters and are trained on terabytes of data to perform a variety of tasks, including text-, code-, or image generation, classification, conversation, and more. A subset known as large language models are used for text- and code-related tasks. When it comes to prompting these models, there isn't just one right answer. There are multiple ways to prompt them for a successful result. In this workshop, you will learn the basics of prompt engineering, from monitoring your token usage to balancing intelligence and security. You will be guided through a range of exercises where you will be able to utilize the different techniques, dials, and levers illustrated in order to get the output you desire from the model. Participants of this workshop will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of prompt engineering along with the practical skills required to achieve the best results with open source large language models.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:05 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
RISC-V's instruction set architecture (ISA) has enabled seasoned embedded software engineers to experiment with FPGAs since numerous open-source RISC-V cores can be flashed onto an FPGA.

The Zephyr Project is rapidly emerging as a leading real-time operating system (RTOS). Zephyr integrates open-source and security best practices to ensure a vendor-neutral, secure, and reliable platform.

One of the exciting features of the RISCV ISA is the Custom Function Unit (CFU), which enables a framework to support custom operations in hardware, which is accessible from software. In this talk, Mohammed will demonstrate how to add a CFU into a RISCV core on an FPGA, and how to make the appropriate calls from Zephyr.

Dude, Where’s My Error?: How OpenTelemetry Records Errors, and Why It Does It Like That - Adriana Villela, ServiceNow Cloud Observability & Reese Lee, New Relic
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
When an app crashes or throws an exception, these errors are not just useful, but vital, to record. However: * How an error is visualized in a backend may not be where you think it’ll be, or how you expect it to look. * Only looking at errors could mean you’re missing out on understanding your system holistically, including other failures that may be causing user dissatisfaction. In this session, Adriana & Reese will examine errors using OpenTelemetry (OTel). They will discuss how OTel records errors, how to enhance spans with metadata to streamline troubleshooting, and explore the distinction between errors and exceptions. They'll also look at how the same error is visualized in different backends, and teach about the different span kinds and how they affect error reporting. Attendees will be empowered to navigate the complexities of error handling in their software applications by leveraging OTel’s capabilities to better understand how things are working (or not) in their apps.

Multi-tenant Logging with Opentelemetry Collector - Sándor Guba, Axoflow
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Kubernetes does not provide a rich multi-tenant experience out-of-the-box outside of Namespaces. Third-party tools try to bridge the gap generically, but there is no targeted solution to deal with telemetry data (logs, metrics, and traces). Sandor - the founder of Logging Operator that helps deal with logging on Kubernetes - gathered the team once again to re-evaluate the solution. The three main objectives were: to introduce tenants as first-class citizens, use OpenTelemetry Collector, and make it as simple as possible. The result is a new open-source project called Telemetry Controller. In this talk, Sandor will guide you through challenges like noisy neighbors, invalid configurations, parsing errors of multi-tenant logging, and how to solve them.

Building and Maintaining Binary Distributions with Yocto - Michael Opdenacker, Independent
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Imagine a world in which you can try the Yocto Project without even using it. This was possible in the past with the Ångström distribution, offering ready-made images which could be extended through binary package feeds. Though Ångström is long gone, the Yocto Project still has the ability to generate such images and package feeds. While system makers are still using this feature, the Yocto Project itself has never published such binaries. The Yocto Project, thanks to funding from the Sovereign Tech Fund, has recently developed its abilities to support binary distributions, by creating tooling to verify the ability to upgrade the images built for its releases through package feeds, and to support managing a "local" distribution that can customize packages offered by an "upstream" distribution. Since Yocto is about recipes, I will first present a cookbook for building your own images so that they can be updated through package feeds. I will then describe the recently developed features related to binary distributions and what possibilities they open for the Yocto Project and its users.

In this presentation, Geert will talk about the evolution of his board farm. He will tell you about things that worked well, or didn't work well, and how he improved his farm, using readily available or custom hardware. He will discuss the challenges of growing your farm, in a changing world plagued by supply chain hick-ups. He will present a way to share boards in your farm with other developers and (automated) testers, using the backend-agnostic "FRAM" tool to grant remote control to only one or more boards, and not to your whole local infrastructure.

Linux Sandboxing with Landlock - Mickaël Salaün, Microsoft
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Landlock's goal is to make it possible for Linux applications to sandbox themselves. On Linux, many traditional access control mechanisms are only available to the system administrator, which do not follow the principle of least privilege. As a result, sandboxing policies were created independently of an actual program execution, leading to unnecessarily broad policies. With Landlock, unprivileged processes can safely create sandboxing policies well-tailored to the expected needs of a running application. Landlock also solves the organizational aspect of keeping policy and software in sync with each other, by putting the policy definition and maintenance in the developer's hands. In this talk, we explain how Landlock works and how it can be used to protect Linux users, without being noticed, except by attackers.

Optimized String Processing in RISC-V: How Toolchain Improvements Can Boost Performance - Christoph Müllner, VRULL GmbH
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 1)
The C runtime offers a range of string processing routines, such as strcmp() and strlen(). The throughput of these routines has a significant impact on many applications and benchmarks, so they are one of the many optimization targets of toolchain developers. Unfortunately, these functions have certain properties and corner cases that limit the optimization opportunities. This talk makes a journey through common optimization techniques ranging from utilization of alignment information in the compiler. It ends with specific instructions that speed up string processing (RISC-V’s orc.b instruction). Further, the talk will show how these optimizations can boost the throughput on real HW by orders of magnitudes in synthetic benchmarks and the impact on the SPEC CPU 2017 benchmark suite. The presentation will include assembly listings, so basic assembly knowledge will help follow the talk.

Bridging the Gap: Incorporating Open Source Into Product Managers' Toolbox - Philipp Ahmann, Robert Bosch GmbH
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
In the world of product management, spread sheets and analysis tools dominate the daily business. However, when it comes to open source, many product managers struggle to quantify its benefits and limit it to risk and compliance handling. This session aims to bridge the gap between the open source community and product managers by exploring how open source can be incorporated into their existing tools and considerations. While traditional tools focus on quantifiable metrics, the non-quantifiable benefits of open source communities, such as technology awareness and company insights, are often overlooked. By integrating open source considerations and measuring points into existing tools and perspectives, including monetary quantifiable numbers, product managers can build a comprehensive business case that captures the value of open source. Attendees of this session will gain insights into the tools and considerations that product managers employ in their journey towards product innovation. By understanding product manager perspectives and needs, the open source community can better collaborate and support the integration of open source into product development processes.

Policing Open-Source Projects at Scale - Thomas Neidhart, Eclipse Foundation
Tuesday September 17, 2024 11:55 - 12:35 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
Large open-source foundations like the Eclipse Foundation are faced with the challenge of maintaining thousands of repositories for the numerous projects and monitoring that these repositories adhere to certain policies and security guidelines to provide an open, transparent and secure environment for the development of open-source software. We would like to present our approach to tackle these challenges: a system where our projects as hosted on GitHub have their configuration stored as code in a repository itself, and project members can request changes to this configuration by opening a pull request, and once approved, changes get applied automatically. With this approach it is possible to make the current infrastructure of a project transparent to everyone involved, highlight items that should be addressed to adhere to certain policies and empower teams to improve and secure their repositories more easily. In this talk we would also like to outline what we have learned while rolling out this service to projects at the Eclipse Foundation and how such an approach can help to increase collaboration in your community as members are able to learn from each other.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 12:05 - 12:15 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Code portability is one of the compelling benefits of adopting Zephyr. In this session we will discuss a single AI-based face detection application that scales from a high performance, Arm Cortex-M7 based MCU to a low power Cortex-M33 based MCU with a neural processing accelerator. In addition to different main processor cores, these two platforms have quite different camera and display interfaces, and one has a limited frame buffer capability, leading to required improvements in the display driver which NXP has contributed back to the project. This session will also explore the specifics of how devicetree and Kconfig were leveraged to switch between platforms.

Lightning Talk: Implementing the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) in the Zephyr Project - Adam Wojasiński, BayLibre
Tuesday September 17, 2024 12:25 - 12:35 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
In order for highly distributed communication to function well, there must be a reliable time source and a way to synchronize time between devices. In applications such as automotive and industrial control, the requirements here can be strict and subject to regulatory constraints. Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a response to these hard time synchronization requirements by achieving clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range.

As Zephyr becomes more broadly used in these environments, it needs support for precision timekeeping. This talk will cover a brief overview of PTP, discussion of various implementation choices for Zephyr, challenges along the way and upstreaming plans.

Developing Wildlife Camera Traps with Zephyr RTOS - Alex Bucknall, Arribada Initiative
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:20 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Monitoring wildlife and environmental changes often requires deploying remote camera traps that can capture imagery and activity over long periods of time. These camera systems need to be low-power, portable, and easily adapted to different hardware configurations based on project requirements.

This talk will cover how we utilised Zephyr to develop flexible time lapse camera solutions for conservation applications. We’ll explore our time lapse camera deployment in Bermuda and how we’re using Zephyr to monitor and understand the impact of seagrass decay on the local marine life. Zephyr allowed us to rapidly target different hardware platforms by abstracting away complex hardware interactions. We'll discuss how Zephyr's hardware and driver APIs simplify peripheral access to cameras, RTCs, and power management features across multiple vendor SoCs.

Additionally, we'll explore challenges associated with this kind of cross-platform support, such as lack of core features for certain vendor SoCs. We'll also share insights into optimising for size, performance, and battery life on constrained embedded devices.

Let Them Eat CAKES: A Sweet Dive Into a Modern Cloud Networking Stack - Krisztian Fekete , Solo.io
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Previous generations of networking made up of point solutions organized by Conway's law are inconsistent, incompatible, and slow down developers. Open source alternatives have emerged to provide compelling networking solutions for Platform Engineers but may overlap. In this talk, we introduce the concept of "the CAKES stack" for modern cloud networking based on OSS projects: (C)ilium, (A)mbient mesh, (K)ubernetes, (E)nvoy, and (S)PIFFE/SPIRE. A twist on the stack, BAKES, includes (B)ackstage.io for a platform's internal developer portal which ties everything together like frosting. Each layer in the "cake" was specifically chosen as it represents the "best of breed" for the role required. These technologies come together to provide a consistent solution for zero trust, observability, ingress/egress, traffic control and significantly improved developer experience and velocity.

Inspecting and Optimizing Memory Usage in Linux - João Marcos Costa, Bootlin
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 14:40 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Considering a context where the hardware platform disposes of a restricted amount of RAM, developers need to understand how this resource is managed and consumed by the operating system and the applications running on it. In such situations, it is crucial to use the right metrics and tooling to identify which components are excessively allocating resources, trim them down, and finally get close to the strict necessary memory usage without compromising essential features. This presentation explores RAM management in the Linux kernel, focusing on how much memory is allocated across different areas and for what purposes. From a kernel space perspective, it will dive into the components of memory reserved in early boot. Considering the user space perspective, the presentation will explain how much memory is used by processes, both individually and collectively.

Information about open source project users and usage characteristics can be an invaluable tool for maintainers and project leaders to prioritize support for features and old versions, as well as understand how users engage with their project. However, many open source users see incorporating telemetry into a project as an invasion of privacy. Within the CHAOSS community, we discuss and define metrics to understand and measure project health. Many of these same metrics can be used to infer characteristics about project users as they are part of the extended community. In this talk, we will discuss what we can and can’t learn about our users from existing publicly available metrics while respecting the privacy of our communities.

Creating shared terminology can support the community in facilitating discussions around EOL/EOS and generating solutions. This presentation will map the EOL/EOS problem to other ongoing discussions including software naming and versioning, acknowledging that this is not a new problem and it is unlikely there is one singular solution. The presentation will also include discussion of the potential role of existing software transparency and supply chain security efforts, such as SBOM, VEX, and CSAF, may play in managing EOL/EOS. We will highlight the OpenEoX efforts from the OASIS community seeking to develop an open source, standardized method to ascertain the EOL/EOS status of products, as well as other ongoing policy efforts. The presentation will close with time for feedback on the presentation and discussion.

Tutorial: Securing Access to and from Remote Systems with WireGuard and Linux - Alex Feiszli, Netmaker, Inc.
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 15:35 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
IT infrastructure is all over the place: Cloud VPC's, edge servers, data centers, office networks, and more. Much of it exists on private networks or behind routers and firewalls. IT administrators are often tasked with making these resources available over the internet to employees or remote servers that are elsewhere on earth. In this tutorial, we'll use just a couple of VM's running Linux and WireGuard to set up a minimal, secure, and easily-maintainable remote access system. We'll demonstrate with a fictional business that has a physical office, uses the cloud, and has remote IT staff, an extremely common scenario. We'll walk attendees through: 1. How to set up secure access to the office network from the remote staffs' workstations. 2. How to establish access to a cloud VPC from servers in the office network. 3. How to account for corporate firewalls and other common networking challenges. By the end of this tutorial, attendees will have a good understanding of how they can use Linux and WireGuard in common IT networking scenarios.

Tutorial: Build AI-Supercharged RAG Apps with a Vector Database - JP Hwang, Weaviate
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:00 - 15:35 CEST
Room 1.61-1.62 (Level 1)
AI is "the" hot new thing. But what's AI got to do with databases? As it turns out, quite a lot. The right database can help your application, business, or customer get more out of AI, faster. What's more, the right database can even make the AI models themselves work better. This workshop will show you how all of this works through a hands-on experience with an "AI-native" database. AI-native databases are designed to empower builders and developers to build AI-powered tools. You will see how they enable better search, integrate with generative AI models, and improve generative models' capabilities. You will be getting hands-on experience with the key pieces of technology, like vector indexes, vector and hybrid search, retrieval augmented generation, and multi-tenancy. Even better, this will use an open-source stack for everything from embeddings, to a vector database and a language model. So join us to learn how to give your app AI superpowers.

Exploring the Potential of Zephyr in Automotive and Software Defined Vehicles - Philipp Ahmann, Robert Bosch GmbH
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:20 - 14:40 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
In the automotive industry more than 100 embedded control units (ECUs) are present in a typical car. They are equipped with microcontrollers responsible for various peripherals within the vehicle. Although it may be challenging to adapt automotive-specific interfaces to an IoT-driven RTOS like Zephyr, the use of standard peripherals such as GPIOs, I2C, and UART can lead to significant synergies with other products.

However, as starting point, the talk will delve into the automotive specific requirements and technology stacks necessary for integrating Zephyr into automotive development. Additionally, it will highlight areas where Zephyr may not yet be a perfect fit for automotive applications. Key touchpoints for discussion will include the compatibility of Zephyr with established automotive standards like Autosar, COVESA VSS, and CAN stack. Furthermore, the talk will address the challenges related to process compliance and adherence to safety integrity standards in the automotive industry.

This talk aims to initiate a discussion on the potential wider adoption of Zephyr in automotive products and to foster an engaging discussion among industry professionals.

Lightning Talk: Open Source Fleet Management in Zephyr - Maciej Sobkowski, Antmicro
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:05 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Complex, real-life embedded system deployments often consist of multiple SoCs/MCUs running a mix of OSes, ranging from user-facing high-end nodes based on Linux/Android to MCUs dedicated to controlling specific low-level functions of the device, using an RTOS like Zephyr. Over-the-air updates for such systems poses a challenge, as the firmware needs to be updated in a safe & coordinated way.

Remote Device Fleet Manager is a permissively licensed, fully open source and self-hostable framework for modular, configurable OTA updates, fleet management and ML data management that supports Linux, Android, and, since recently, also Zephyr-based platforms.

This talk will delve into how RDFM was extended to support Zephyr-based systems, the motivations and considerations of the development and some interesting use cases it enables. RDFM allows for fully redundant updates, incl. rollback to the previous version, grouped device updates and mixed OS deployments.

To enable tight interoperability with Zephyr's ecosystem, the integration is based on the MCUmgr library, communicating with Zephyr devices via the SMP protocol. The MCUboot bootloader is used for managing the firmware on the device.

Licensing Support by Build Systems - and What Remains To Be Done - Jan Altenberg, Open Source Automation Development Lab (OSADL) eG
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Building embedded Linux systems is getting increasingly complex. The complexity does not only come from the technical aspects. The number of different packages and dependencies also make the fulfilment of license obligations quite challenging. Build systems and distro generators support us with this task. They can help in getting an overview of the licenses being used and packaging the relevant compliance material. But how far does their support really go? And is the information being provided complete?

This presentation will take a look into different licensing obligations (e.g. information obligations and disclosure obligations) and (based on the examples of the Yocto project, ELBE and ISAR) the licensing support of modern build systems will be evaluated.

Messing up Your NUMA Topology with CXL - Hannes Reinecke, SUSE Linux
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 1)
his presentation will focus on CXL (Compute Express Link) as an advanced interconnect between machines and peripherals. CXL allows to leverage the PCIe physical interconnect to link together different device types (CPU, memory, I/O, cache, switches etc) into a combined hierarchy. This allows IHVs to create tailored solutions for eg large-scale AI systems or dynamic resource pooling between machines. As it's also possible to connect or pool memory resources it means the we can end up with some really interesting NUMA topologies. Plus we need to look at memory placement, as CXL memory is inherently hotpluggable, and as such not really suitable for some data structures like DMA areas etc. In this talk I will give an overview over CXL and the implications for NUMA topologies, and I'll be giving a short demo with an emulated CXL instance under qemu.

Towards Industrial AI Governance Inspired by OSPO: A Primer - Zoran Jovanovic, Volvo Car Corporation
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
Strategic position of AI development in industrial settings, the surrounding regulations, and organizational challenges, have an interesting analogy in how we deal with Open Source Software on industrial scale. Definition of governance as set of processes and guidelines for decision making within an organization gives us an opportunity to apply similar abstract models to seemingly different areas of endeavor such as AI production and consumer organizations, on one side, and Open Source Software, on the other. The learnings from running technical operations of OSPOs translate remarkably well into this model. Intake, compliance, distribution, so well known in the world of Open Source Program Offices, with its federated democratized governance, are some of the pillars of the processes that drive AI production and consumption organizations. In this talk we will try to shed some light on how in Volvo Cars we approach practical aspects of these growing processes.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
This session will showcase how open source metrics can be used for monitoring open source projects developed for global health challenges. GitHub and the World Health Organization (WHO) partnered to build a framework for tracking and analyzing the health of open source projects. The WHO, an international public health agency of the United Nations, utilizes and creates open source digital tools to enhance global health efforts for remote care, disease surveillance, epidemiological modeling, health information systems for data collection and analysis, and digital platforms for emergency response. Within these tools, challenges exist in monitoring open source: the lack of a high level view of best practices adopted by various open source projects; linking open source practices to realized impact in the public health; and building interest in open source work and advocating for more open source development within the global health community. This presentation will highlight these challenges, discuss opportunities to tackle them and close with an open dialogue on how open source projects can be measured, and drive collaboration between the OS community and public health practitioners.

VSCorode: Inside Your IDE, Inside Your Git Repository - Kevin Ward & Fabian Kammel, ControlPlane
Tuesday September 17, 2024 14:55 - 15:35 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
For several years now we’ve heard the mantra of shifting left to move security as early as possible in the development process. The aim is to enable developers to understand and produce secure code right away. The primary method to support developers is to enhance their IDE with extensions which can identify security issues, highlight insecure code practices and handle integration with external services. VSCode is one of the most popular IDEs with a flourishing community of extensions for data manipulation, theming, programmatic language features and additional debugging functionality. There is a great deal of trust placed in these extensions so what would happen if an extension turned against you? This talk explores the supply chain risks associated with VSCode extensions, what is required to get an extension included in the marketplace and how simply we hand over control to an unknown third party. We will demonstrate what an adversary can achieve with a malicious extension and how it represents a future red team target from enumeration, persistence and execution.Lastly we’ll offer advice on how to prevent common attack paths.

Lightning Talk: Delta Firmware Over The Air (DFOTA) Update: Optimizing Device Updates in Zephyr - Romain Pelletant & Clovis Corde, Kickmaker
Tuesday September 17, 2024 15:05 - 15:15 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) updates are a well-established method for updating devices, but this approach shows its limitations in the embedded world. Indeed, in embedded systems we have 2 main constraints (among others) when discussing firmware updates : memory and bandwidth. Regarding memory, developing a low-memory-footprint API was our priority when creating this solution. To explain how we built this API, we will discuss compression algorithms and justify our choice of implementing in Zephyr the open-source library "Heatshrink" which is ideally suited for DFOTA's needs and for embedded systems in general (we can demonstrate the memory footprint differences compared to the already implemented compression algorithm "LZ4"). Next, we will see how deltas (or patches) between two firmware versions are generated (we could present a benchmark to illustrate the data savings achieved by sending patches instead of the full firmware, as it is done during FOTA update). Further, we will explore the implementation of the DFOTA API to explain how it works and how it can be implemented into your project.

Tuesday September 17, 2024 15:25 - 15:35 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Using Zephyr OS, we successfully developed three firmware versions in under two years, establishing a scalable wireless sensor network for enhanced railway infrastructure monitoring.

This talk will detail the rationale behind our technology selections, including Zephyr OS, BLE, LTE-M, and AWS Iot Core.

We will discuss specific features of Zephyr that facilitated rapid development and the aspects that presented a learning curve. Our session will explore critical design decisions, architectural frameworks using Zephyr, and effective strategies for MCU communication and optimizing battery life. It will show how projects are setup, dependency are managed using west, how firmware is tested, and which features of zephyr we use where. We'll also share common pitfalls and practical lessons learned.

Concluding with recent Zephyr updates and our reflective insights, this presentation will end with what we would have done differently this time.

Cloud Native Threat Intelligence for Everyone - Constanze Roedig, Tobias Grantner & Lukas Mahler, Technische Universität Wien
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 0.11-0.12 (Level 0)
Accurate and current threat intelligence data plays a vital role in threat modelling, as we can learn about what attackers are doing in the wild, and how likely certain attack paths are to be exploited. Whilst open source threat intelligence does exist, it is often ‘event-based’, focusing on historical incidents of attackers using particular techniques to exploit specific vulnerabilities. However, what if we want to quantify our own threat models, which may involve chaining together many such attack vectors? The Kubernetes Storm Centre is a newly established open source initiative that aims to provide a framework for independent quantification of cloud native attack paths, with contributing organisations running diverse ‘honey-clusters’ and sharing their results with a central hub for the world to freely consume. In this session, we will discuss the progress made by the project so far, share our initial results and insights, and explain how interested parties can contribute.

DevSecOps Transformation at Speed and Scale Using Tekton - Caroline Cameron & Tony Higham, IBM
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
The distributed development effort across individual teams to build secure software in a constantly evolving security threat landscape results in massive duplication of CI/CD automation work and inconsistent security and compliance postures across teams. The solution is to standardize the CI/CD security & compliance automation for development teams and centralize platform operations and maintenance. Our centralized CI/CD platform prevents software security problems from reaching production systems and streamlines compliance audits using built-in DevSecOps practices. Tekton is used as the open source orchestrator to standardize CI/CD and contribute open source enhancements through our valued ecosystem partnerships to benefit all users. The platform includes open source scanning tools such as Clair for OSS threat intelligence, SonarQube for SAST, and OWASP ZAP for DAST. The platform also extends the traditional CI and CD pipelines with a Continuous Compliance (CC) pipeline which ensures that deployed applications are scanned for new vulnerabilities on a daily basis with unique capabilities to auto remediate identified vulnerabilities and auto close resolved incident issues.

Advanced System Profiling, Tracing and Trace Analysis with Perfetto in Android and Yocto - Anna-Lena Marx & Stefan Lengfeld, inovex GmbH
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
Tracing is a capable mechanism for deep system analysis and profiling with a minimal overhead. By recording defined system events, in Linux but also Android, tracing can be used to analyze concurrency or latency issues, for example. Android’s systrace tool made it easy to analyze and correlate traces and events due to a graphical UI, in order to help developers identify performance bottlenecks. The successor to this advanced and convenient tool is called Perfetto. It’s available for pure Linux too, and part of Yocto (meta-oe) since Langdale now. In the talk, we’ll have a look into - using Perfetto with Android and Yocto, - adding trace events to your applications, - recording traces and - analyzing system and application traces with the graphical GUI. This will allow you to take full advantage of the Perfetto trace viewer UI for analyzing memory usage, CPU scheduling, latency and more.

Mesa3D Unveiled: From glDrawArrays(…) to GPU Magic - Christian Gmeiner, Igalia
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Mesa3D, often called Mesa, is a key part of the Linux graphics system, serving as an open-source implementation of the OpenGL API for rendering 3D graphics. It also supports other APIs like Vulkan and OpenGL ES.

This session will demystify Mesa3D, starting with GPU functions and its interaction with computers, laying the groundwork for understanding how Mesa powers 3D graphics. We'll use rendering a triangle as a case study to explore Mesa3D’s architecture—from initiating EGL and compiling shaders to sending work to the GPU, making the complex process more accessible.

The goal is for everyone to walk away with a clearer understanding of Mesa’s role in Linux graphics and its importance to the open-source community, specially on embedded platforms, where open-source drivers are getting much more relevance for long term maintainability, feature support and customization.

Here, I mention embedded platforms because many of our customers use open-source drivers. This allows them to include these drivers in their products without depending on proprietary solutions from manufacturers, which may not even be available (some are only available on Android, not Linux).

Design Thinking: Generative AI Style - Martin Hickey & Donal Madden, IBM
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
What if you could harness the power of artificial intelligence to make it easier to employ design thinking principles to benefit the users of your application? Design thinking is a highly effective process in designing successful applications. Design thinking can help application developers identify the problems that the application is solving and can improve user experience at launch. But to be most effective design thinking must be employed straight from concept to release. However, this takes money and time which start-ups, or small companies may not have. In this talk we provide an overview of a design thinking system of open source Large Language Model (LLM) agents to help developers get the most out of the design thinking process. Each agent is primed with a persona of an individual in the process and will work with the development team to produce design thinking artefacts and deliverables. We will show how the system helps to accelerate both the effect and adoption of design thinking in an organisation. This is the talk for you if you want to understand how Generative AI can provide solutions that traditional programming may not.

Navigating the Open Source Observability Landscape - Dotan Horovits, CNCF Ambassador
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:00 - 16:40 CEST
Room 1.61-1.62 (Level 1)
In the cloud native era systems are getting ever more dynamic and complex. With containers and microservices architecture, monitoring and troubleshooting systems is more challenging than ever before. The open source community has risen up to the challenge and has delivered solutions that fit modern environments. Established open source projects such as Prometheus and the ELK Stack have gathered massive adoption, while new projects keep emerging and uncovering yet untapped possibilities such as continuous profiling and eBPF. Alongside tools, open standards, such as OpenMetrics and OpenTelemetry, are emerging to converge the industry and prevent vendor lock-in. Goodness, it’s hard to keep track of all that goodness. In this talk Horovits will talk about the recommended open source tools and standards for observability (looking also beyond logs, metrics and traces), and how to combine them to help you achieve effective observability in your environment.

GitLab's mission is to enable everyone to contribute to and co-create the software that powers the world. That software must be secure.
Open source plays a crucial role in addressing security risk through transparency and community efforts. By having source code publicly available, a wider community from various different background can inspect, identify, and fix vulnerabilities in a timely manner.

Other open source practices help increase security, too. Things like:
  • Collaborative Verification
  • Security Auditing
  • Security tool Development
  • Contributions to security initiatives
  • Vulnerability Reporting and Resolution
  • Education and Best Practices

Using examples of these practices from GitLab and other open source projects, let's talk about how we can move open source security forward together.

Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Zephyr, as also other open source projects, is heading towards functional safety, to achieve a safety certification as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC) the question of what this really means comes up quite often.

There are usually three stakeholders in a project like project community, the assessor and the user, who actually wants to use the certified software

As all these parties have different expectations of what this certification will require, there are a lot of different rumours and opinions out there regarding functional safety certification. This talk will give an introduction to what qualification evidence is usually prepared and assessed for a SEooC certification, what this means for the project and how it can actually be integrated into a safety relevant software system.

This talk will also give an update of the current status of the safety working group, how to participate and what to expect there.

SCA for Containers: The Good, the Bad, and the Truth - Arun Azhakesan, Siemens Healthineers & Philippe Ombredanne, AboutCode
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Room 0.14 (Level 0)
Containers revolutionized the software development and deployment process. But there are still practical concerns, especially related to software supply chain integrity and security, that require further improvements. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) identifies components used in software applications and systems, often for software supply chain concerns like SBOMs, which is increasingly important for distributed, containerized systems. Many open source and proprietary SCA tools are marketed specifically for containers. After testing many open source and proprietary tools, we completed a project comparing the accuracy, depth, and breadth of these tools' detection capabilities. The results were not always good. In this talk, Arun from Siemens Healthineers and Philippe from AboutCode will share their experiences so you don't make the same mistakes.

Taming DMA: Tales Wrestling Memory Corruption - Ahmad Fatoum, Pengutronix
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Hall C (Level 2)
Direct Memory Access frees up the CPU for other important work, while devices read and write data in the background. This is as good as it sounds and most embedded systems make ample use of this; for good sound and otherwise. On the flipside, incorrectly configured DMA and the creeping memory corruption that results can decidedly be more unpleasant than the possible slow-down of using PIO. Ahmad's bootloader and kernel escapades have not been spared from the wrath of DMA masters. In this talk, he will share tales of his debugging campaigns and how tracking down memory corruption led him to learn, one bug at a time, more about the internals of Linux' and barebox' DMA API, ARM cache maintenance and the limitations of DMA controllers.

Using Yocto to Debug Embedded Device Crashes - Etienne Cordonnier, Snap Inc
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Hall B (Level 2)
It is challenging to debug hard to reproduce crashes on embedded devices. Due to limited space constraints, it is often not feasible to deploy full debug symbols. Core dumps are a great tool to debug such crashes. The Yocto project offers several features to help with working with core dumps, such as minidebuginfo and debuginfod combined with debug symbol servers. Used with crash-monitoring software and systemd core dump tooling, those features make it easier for developers to analyze and solve crashes happening only e.g. in production.

Building a Hypervisor Firewall with nftables and Rust - Stefan Hanreich, Proxmox Server Solutions
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Hall M2 (Level 1)
Firewalls play a pivotal part in securing a hypervisor and its guests from internal and external threats. In this talk I want to show how to utilize nftables for creating complex rulesets in a virtualized Linux network environment.

This talk will start with a short introduction on nftables and Linux network virtualization. I will then dive deeper by showing how to create complex rulesets efficiently by utilizing the built-in nftables datastructures. Furthermore, I will show how zone-based firewalling can be implemented by leveraging the nftables bridge family, with a focus on virtualized network environments common in hypervisors. To finish off, I will talk about how to use Rust for interfacing with nftables via JSON by using the provided nftables-json schema to programmatically create firewall rules.

Testing is an integral part of the software lifecycle. For software which are in continuous development it's even more important to have regular testing so that any bugs or errors can be detected early. In this talk, I will present how I started testing the Linux Kernel in a personal capacity and the status of Kernel testing that is now being done as part of Codethink. I will also present how that testing infrastructure has evolved to test Debian Sid on a RPI4 from a CI pipeline and the problems we had to overcome. That same infrastructure is now being modified to test Yocto from a gitlab CI pipeline.

Reducing Bias in AI with Open Source - Abubakar Siddiq Ango, GitLab
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Room 2.31 (Level 2)
Bias in AI has become a hot topic and increasingly, we are seeing how dangerous it is. Dangerous because AI is gain more influence in decisions that impact lives, decisions about who gets employment, healthcare or economic development and who gets profiled for crime, extra search at the airport, and so on. Even tools designed to identify AI-generated content have shown bias against non-native speakers based on their choice of verbiage. To reduce bias, experts often refer to having diverse training data and cognitive diversity, but where else is this achievable than in Open-source communities? This session is designed to open up discussions around reducing bias in AI with Open source. Abubakar will start by sharing examples of biases, sharing strategies to leverage open-source communities, and opening the floor for attendees to share their opinions and views, with the goal of creating a resource that will be valuable to the community.

Who Broke the Build? — Using Kuttl to Improve E2E Testing and Release Faster - Ram Mohan Rao Chukka, JFrog
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Room 1.61-1.62 (Level 1)
No one wants to be responsible for breaking the build. But what can you do as a developer to avoid being the bad guy? How can project leads enable their teams to reduce the occurrence of broken builds? In talking within our own teams, we discovered that many developers weren’t running sufficient integration and End to End tests in their local environments because it’s too difficult to set up and administer test environments in an efficient way. That’s why we decided to rethink our entire local testing process in hopes of cutting down on the headaches and valuable time wasted. Enter Kuttl. Connecting Kuttl to CI builds has empowered our developers to easily configure a development environment locally that accurately matches the final test environment — without needing to become an expert CI admin themselves. These days, we hear, “Who broke the build?” far less often — and you can too!

Panel Discussion: The Next Phase in OSS (Ideate, Design and Build) - Samson Goddy, Open Source Community Africa; Oluebube Princess Egbuna, Drogo AI; and Edidiong Asikpo, Zuplo
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Room 0.94-0.95 (Level 0)
In the last three decades, we’ve seen an evolution of open source starting from the ’90s when foundations and ideas were birthed with the likes of the Free Software Foundation, the Open Source Initiative, and projects that changed the world like the Linux Kernel and the Apache server. From there, open source has gotten into mainstream adoption and advocacy, where we have platforms like GitLab, GitHub, and SourceForge, enabling people to build software projects openly and increasing collaboration among people in tech. Within the last ten years, groundbreaking innovations like the cloud, AI, and big data have become open source by default - this is where we are now. However, the global south is still stuck in the advocacy and adoption phase, with people who haven’t moved beyond their first contribution or are only aware of open source. We need to address this and move the global south to the next phase of open source—ideation, designing, and building. In this talk, we will share what we’ve been doing in Open Source Community Africa for the last 8 years and how we are currently fixing this problem through our latest flagship program, IDB (Ideate, Design, Build).

Capslock: Escaping Bad Dependencies - Jess McClintock & Nicky Ringland, Google
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Room 2.15 (Level 2)
A package’s permissions and capabilities constrain its blast radius if compromised. Analysing and restricting these permissions can thwart potential attack vectors, such as we have recently seen with inserting malicious code into programs via third-party libraries, sometimes by gaining commit access to an existing trusted package.
Security vulnerabilities can also be caused by excessive but well-intended privileges in packages that have unintended scope. Visibility into package permissions can help motivate the principle of least privilege within the ecosystem and increase scrutiny on dangerous capabilities.

Capslock is a CLI tool for analysing Go package imports that works on a callpath-level to look at only the capabilities accessible by the caller (instead of just looking at package imports). This ensures that the signals provided aren’t overly broad or noisy, in order to decrease false positive rates and prevent alert fatigue for users. This model is influenced by mobile phone permissions systems, where users can make decisions on the behaviours that apps require.

Capslock capability results are now available for Go on deps.dev, with support for more languages in development.

Level Up Your Embedded Testing Game: FRETish, Robot, and Twister: A Dream Team - Christian Schlotter, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG & Tobias Kästner, TiaC Systems
Tuesday September 17, 2024 16:55 - 17:35 CEST
Room 0.49-0.50 (Level 0)
Additional author: Stefan Kraus, Senior Software Engineer, UL SIS

Developing embedded software for regulated environments like medical devices presents unique challenges. Crucially, we need to document how the software design fulfills stated product requirements. While functional testing remains dominant for verifying functional suitability, deriving and maintaining effective test suites can quickly become cumbersome.

This talk explores a novel approach to this longstanding problem. We leverage NASA's FRETish method for formally capturing requirements. We will talk about how the formal nature of FRETish requirements allows for automatic test case generation leveraging the Robot Framework. The latter was specifically chosen as it is partially supported by Zephyr's test harness today and allows to utilize twister for automated test execution of these test suites on real hardware. This method has the potential to streamline testing, offering benefits such as reduced time and maintenance efforts as well as accurate coverage metrics from very early on in the project's lifecycle.

We'll discuss our progress in implementing this approach, the challenges we encountered, and potential solutions for deeper integration with the Zephyr project.
