Open Source Management: emlix GmbH

Open source software in industrial embedded components, devices and equipment can significantly shorten time to market and make lifecycle maintenance more efficient. In addition, embedded Linux can provide a homogeneous development environment at the same time. When using it, however, the requirements of open source compliance and open source governance must be taken into account. emlix supports its customers in using open source software efficiently and in a future-proof way, in compliance with the applicable standards.

From Strategy to Implementation

We accompany our customers from strategic planning to technical implementation and ensure that open source technologies can be deployed efficiently, securely and sustainably.

In embedded systems, the embedded Linux system is often reduced to relatively few open source packages. emlix supports its customers

■ in selecting and qualifying the right components
■ in composing an optimised embedded Linux system
■ in achieving conformity with the applicable compliance rules (e.g. ISO 5230)
■ in creating a correct SBOM (Software Bill of Materials)
■ in setting up the relevant infrastructure
■ in the lifecycle maintenance of embedded Linux systems.
■ emlix harnesses the advantages of the open source community for its customers

emlix supports companies in the professional integration, development and maintenance of open source software – from strategy to lifecycle management.

BEST PRACTICE

PTW-Freiburg GmbH

Linux Platform for Medical Devices in Accordance with IEC 62304

The UNIDOS Embedded Linux platform is the result of an intensive development collaboration between PTW and emlix. To meet the extensive regulatory requirements throughout the entire product lifecycle, e2factory is used as a software management and build automation tool. Test automation and reproducibility are ensured using the emlix TAF Test Application Framework.
