Embedded Recipes 2018 - Yoctoception: Containers in the embedded world - Jéré...Anne Nicolas
Containerisation is a new player in the embedded world. Provisionning and rapid deployment doesn’t really make sense for embedded devices, but the extra security that container partitionning brings to the table is quickly becoming a “must have” for every embedded device.
However, the embedded world has its own constraints. Generic distributions like debian or Fedora are rarely used and tools like dockers can’t build software with custom build-chains the way Yocto or buildroot does it.
This talk will quickly review what are linux containers, why they are usefull in the embedde world, and then will study ways to generate container images using the yocto infrastructure and integrate them in another yocto image without breaking the package-based update system that Yocto provides.

Upgrade-UX is an open source framework developed to assist in patching and/or updating Unix Operating Systems in a consistent and repeatable way. Especially in the industry it is forbidden just to run yum update (on Linux) to update your Linux system, therefore, upgrade-ux may proof to be a handy tool to guide you through the patching and/or update process as it follows a track you control (evidence gathering, pre/post executing of scripts, logging, and so on).
U-Boot project has evolved in the time span of over 17 years and so as its complexity and its uses. This has made it a daunting task in getting started with its development and uses. This talk will address all these issues start with overview, features, efforts created by community and future plans.
The U-Boot project has evolved in the time span of over 17 years and so as its complexity and its uses. This has made it a daunting task in getting started with its development and uses. This talk will address all these issues and share development efforts created by the U-Boot community.
In this talk Jagan Teki(Maintainer for Allwinner SoC, SPI, SPI FLASH Subsystems) will introduce U-Boot from scratch with a brief overview of U-Boot history, U-Boot Proper, SPL, TPL, Build process and Startup sequence. He will talk about other preliminaries such as Image booting, Falcon Mode, Secure Boot and U-Boot features like device tree, device overlays, driver model and DFU, etc.
Once giving enough introduction, he will also talk about steps to port U-Boot to new hardware with a demo, along with U-Boot testing process. Finally, he will address and review ongoing development work, issues and future development regarding U-Boot.
Presenting adhocr (abbreviation for Ad-hoc copy and run) as a simple, but powerful UNIX administrator tool. If you like to retrieve data or execute commands on lots of systems simultaneously then this tool is your friend. There is no need to exchange your ssh keys as the power behind adhocr is the expect tool (language). For example, it is plain easy to use adhocr to distribute your public ssh key to all your systems. The real power of adhocr is the central point of logging, which is perfect for \'grep\'ing into stuff you\'re looking for.
You also have the ability to execute commands via the \'sudo su -\' way, which is a blessing in environments where root is not permitted to login directly.
You can even use it monitoring your systems thanks to the powerful error catching.
Angelo Compagnucci - Upgrading buildroot based devices with swupdatelinuxlab_conf
This talk will guide you through the perils of building a resilient software stack for embedded system using buildroot as a base, stuff your software in between and adding swupdate as cherry on top! The talk will be composed by three main areas:
How to use buildroot as a base system for your stack
An introduction to swupdate and it’s fields of use
An example of using buildroot + swupdate to update your stack.
In the first we will talk about using buildroot as base for your software and how to add your software around. Buildroot make really easy to build a complete firmware image when using the standard configurations provided by the software but it could be cumbersome if you want to add your software in simple, easy and automated way. So we will show you how to write a simple makefile to add your software as an external component and how to automate the process of compiling everything to produce your binary artifacts.
The second part will discuss about swupdate and it’s field of use. Swupdate provides several ways of use: it can be used in a simple way, it could be integrated to do A/B updates, it could be used via network or locally using a medium. We will discuss about the possibility of approaches of system updates and how swupdate can satisfy each one of the use cases.
The third phase will show you a real approach adopted to solve a specific use cause with the hope it can be used a reference for auditor specific needs.
Tizen:Common is a cross profile and cross architecture system that
aims to become the OS of everything. This presentation will discuss
its porting to open source hardware devices with ARM or Intel
processors and the stage of the open source project Tizen-sunxi. It
will provide guidelines for building Tizen:Common image from scratch
and booting it on x86 systems or ARM devices. Sunxi devices which
represent the family of ARM SoCs from the Chinese company Allwinner
Technology will be used to demonstrate how to build tizen by your own
and dual boot it on a tablet shipped with another OS. Allwinner chips
are preferred for low budget tablets and single board computers such
as open hardware OLinuXino, CubieBoard and Banana Pi. As of today
millions of Sunxi devices exist on the market and a large community of
open source developers support them but they are not the only ones to
hack on.
Kernel Recipes 2016 - Kernel documentation: what we have and where it’s goingAnne Nicolas
The Linux kernel features an extensive array of, to put it kindly, somewhat disorganized documentation. A significant effort is underway to make things better, though. This talk will review the state of kernel documentation, cover the changes that are being made (including the adoption of a new system for formatted documentation), and discuss how interested developers can help.

Discussion of a platform-independent OpenZFS code repository at the 2013 OpenZFS Developer Summit.
http://www.open-zfs.org/wiki/OpenZFS_Developer_Summit
While probably the most prominent, Docker is not the only tool for building and managing containers. Originally meant to be a "chroot on steroids" to help debug systemd, systemd-nspawn provides a fairly uncomplicated approach to work with containers. Being part of systemd, it is available on most recent distributions out-of-the-box and requires no additional dependencies.
This deck will introduce a few concepts involved in containers and will guide you through the steps of building a container from scratch. The payload will be a simple service, which will be automatically activated by systemd when the first request arrives.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
