Bringing Barebox into OE-Core (Yocto)
This blog post chronicles the multi-year journey to get Barebox accepted into OE-Core—from the early attempts to the eventual success in October 2024. Along the way, we’ll explore the technical hurdles we faced, the community discussions that shaped the process, and the improvements we added to both OE and Barebox.
Der USB-SD-Mux ist nun FAST
Seit 2019 vertreiben wir mit unserer Partner-Firma Linux Automation GmbH den USB-SD-Mux. Damit konnten wir vielen Embedded Entwickler*innen die Arbeit erleichtern und dadurch die Softwarequalität verbessern. Zugleich schreitet die Technik voran: Micro-SD-Karten werden schneller und mittlerweile hat sich USB-C als Standard etabliert.
Komplexität beherrschen mit Open Source
Vor ein paar Tagen ist etwas spannendes passiert: Ich habe mein allererstes Embedded System wiedergesehen - eine nach nunmehr ca. 34 Jahren defekte Schrittmotorsteuerung für die Teleskope der Volkssternwarte Rothwesten, die ich in den Sommerferien in der 12. Klasse gebaut habe. Schaut man sich die Entwicklung von damals bis hin zu unseren aktuellen industriellen Embedded Systems an, wird schnell klar, warum sowas heute nur noch mit Open Source Software sinnvoll beherrschbar ist.
More Conferences in September: Yocto Project Developer Day and KiCon Europe

Pengutronix at the Linux Plumbers Conference
The Linux Plumbers Conference 2024 will take place in Vienna from 18. to 20.09.2024. Luckily this does not overlap with the ELCE. Pengutronix will attend the LPC with six colleagues - so watch out for our T-shirts and hoodies and and feel free to chat with us.
RAUC v1.12 Released
With 93 pull requests that brought in 248 new commits, a lot happened since the last release on master (v1.11.1). The new v1.12 version of RAUC focusses on making it even more robust while adding some features and improvements.
Pengutronix at Open Source Summit Europe and Embedded Linux Conference Europe
The Embedded Linux Conference Europe is Pengutronix' most important conference of the year. It is a good place to meet new faces in the embedded community, discuss current topics and future developments with maintainers and developers - and of course: have a beer with old friends. As usual, many Pengutronix colleagues will attend: this year we'll have a 14 person team on site. So watch out for our T-shirts and hoodies and and feel free to chat with us.
