Explore the development of Space Grade Linux (SGL) in this 16-minute keynote presentation that examines how open source technology is revolutionizing safety-critical space systems. Discover the ELISA Project's initiative to create a reusable, safety-aware Linux foundation specifically designed for spaceflight applications as the space industry faces increasing launch cadence and tightening development cycles. Learn about SGL's three foundational focus areas: kernel configuration strategies that emphasize predictability, determinism, and traceability for space-focused Linux systems; safety-critical implications of system boot processes and reliability improvement strategies for space-grade deployments; and userspace strategy decisions covering minimal runtime environments, supervision, and maintainable userspace design. Gain hands-on insights into the current GitHub repository contents, including the Yocto-based reference implementation and working kernel configuration, while understanding opportunities for technical contributions, architecture discussions, and community collaboration in advancing open source solutions for space technology.
