Embedded Austria No. 6: Functional Safety Embedded Austria No. 6 is dedicated to functional safety in embedded systems.Three speakers with strong roots in major open source projects share hands-on experience from safety-critical systems, Linux-based platforms, and complex software stacks. The focus is practical: what works, what breaks, and what it really takes to align open source development with functional safety requirements.Expect concrete insights, honest lessons learned, and discussion beyond marketing slides.The evening concludes with open networking, an opportunity to continue the discussion and connect with others from the embedded community.

Agenda

Embedded Austria is a platform to connect experts, exchange ideas, and learn about the future of embedded systems. Get to know about Embedded Austria and its plans for the future. About: Bernhard Trinnes is an expert in embedded software testing, an organizer for Embedded Austria, and works at Bitcrush Testing.

Event Opening

Bettina Keller is an Application and Support Engineer at the Munich branch office of Beckhoff Automation. Based in Verl, Beckhoff Automation is known for its PC-based control technology and automation solutions used worldwide.

With extensive practical experience in industrial automation, Bettina Keller focuses on supporting mechanical engineering companies in integrating functional safety into their systems and applications. Her work helps bridge the gap between safety requirements and real-world machine implementation.

Functional safety made easy with certified modules

Tobias Kästner has worked on medical devices for more than 15 years. A physicist by training, his key expertise is the analysis of complex problem spaces and the design of system and software architectures. In this role safety-related topics have been an all-time companion to him. More recently, he joined the efforts of the Zephyr Open Source project to attain a safety certificate for parts of its code base. Currently, he works at inovex GmbH and also serves as the Zephyr project's safety architect.

Bridging Open Source & Safety  - Zephyr‘s journey to a Pre-Certified Kernel

Nicholas Mc Guire has been active in open source and GNU/Linux since 1995, starting with kernel 0.99.112. After early work on low-level magnetic bearing controllers at the Technical University of Vienna, he moved into real-time Linux (RTLinux/GPL) and later worked on Linux-based HPC systems at the University of Vienna.

In 2004, he co-founded the Distributed Systems Lab at Lanzhou University. Since 2003, his focus has been on real-time systems and functional safety in complex FOSS environments, collaborating in EU and international industrial research projects, including work with Open Source Automation Development Lab.
