Embedded Linux systems do not fit into the classic V-model. Even so, a structured approach in the sense of a systems engineering approach (or security engineering) is a worthwhile investment, and is required in any case by current standards such as the CRA and IEC 62443. And open source compliance calls for the qualification of all open source components used.
We support companies in planning their embedded Linux platforms efficiently – not only meeting regulatory requirements but also laying the basis for economical, low-risk lifecycle maintenance. The result is robust, secure embedded Linux platforms that flexibly support product variants and can be developed further economically.
Sound planning of your embedded Linux system ensures the maintainability, security and future viability of a product and lowers the total cost of ownership.
Technological expertise combined with proven engineering methods
Our customers face the task of creating the right technical basis early in the project for a long-term maintainable and standards-compliant embedded Linux-based product. Without clear architecture decisions, risks arise such as high development effort, a lack of reproducibility, vulnerabilities and later certification problems.
We combine Linux and open source know-how with proven systems and security engineering methods to develop tailored embedded Linux system architectures. In doing so, we rely on open source technologies and established Linux build systems to ensure security, transparency, stability and update capability.
Your benefits at a glance
Professional systems engineering reduces development time and lifecycle costs and ensures:
■ High system stability and security
■ Reproducibility and clear update processes
■ Scalability across different product variants
■ Compliance with the standards relevant to your product
■ A traceable SBOM (Software Bill of Materials)
■ Reduced development and lifecycle costs
■ Plannable and faster time to market
emlix supports teams technically and methodically
The starting point is usually a structured workshop in which, together with the customer's team, we work out the requirements, objectives and constraints for an embedded Linux-based product. We then assess technology options, risks and feasibility. The result: a realizable project plan that takes technical and economic criteria into account and offers you and us a clearly defined starting point.
Our services in the area of system design:
■ Analysis and assessment of product requirements
■ Carrying out risk analyses
■ Security-by-design concepts at the software level
■ Software requirements engineering
■ Feasibility studies and preliminary investigations
■ Selection and qualification of open source components
■ Definition of the Linux-based system architecture
■ Creation of project outlines and implementation plans
We work with proven embedded Linux stacks specifically suited to industrial requirements – including Linux build systems, security frameworks and test and automation tools. By selecting and qualifying stable, long-term maintainable components, we ensure that your platform can be reliably developed further throughout the entire product lifecycle.
