For 25 years, we have been transferring system knowledge, innovations from the open source world and market knowledge into the products of our more than 350 customers. Product-specific software platforms from emlix are in successful use millionfold worldwide.
Linux for Safe Applications
Success Story Elektrobit Automotive GmbH
In April 2024 a completely new approach to run SIL2 safety applications directly on a Linux system has been presented to the public: Elektrobit’s EB corbos Linux for safety applications (EbcLfSA) is the first OS-solution assessed by TÜV Nord to be compliant with safety standards up to SIL2/ASILB and based on embedded Linux.
It is suitable for use in ISO 26262 as well as IEC 61508 projects as it can perform safety functions up to SIL2/ ASILB.
Besides very positive press releases so far, the product won the CES innovation award in Vehicle Tech & Advanced mobility 2025. At the Embedded World 2025 the supervisor software has been nominated for the Embedded Award in the category safety & security.
emlix as an Embedded Linux specialist was part of this ambitious project from the beginning. Our main task was to put the Linux kernel under the control of a supervisory element, which enables safety-critical applications to be run in a Linux environment.
Innovative solutions for industrial products
Our core competence is the conception, qualification, composition and development of embedded Linux systems and hardware-near product features. We thereby observe the relevant norms for the respective industry closely.
Our quality-assured solutions are based on mainline Linux, distributions such as Yocto, Buildroot, PTXdist and Android as well as other industrially proven open source components and commonly used tools.
Process-secure implementation
We offer you development tools and processes that are especially designed for industrial requirements:
We develop reliable, future-proof embedded systems by combining proven build systems (such as Yocto, Buildroot, or e2factory) with modern CI/CD pipelines and automated testing tools like Robot Framework. Thanks to modular software architectures, robust security features, and compliance with industry standards (e.g. IEC 62443, IEC 62304), we deliver high-quality solutions with full efficiency and traceability.
Reliable life-cycle support
Our service spectrum includes process-compatible maintenance and ensuring of the IT security as well as functional security throughout the entire product life cycle.
Furthermore, emlix accompanies its customers in quality and safety audits – during both development and life cycle maintenance.
