EMEliminator is a whitelist-type security software that is optimal for embedded devices. It only allows the execution of programs that have been pre-registered on the list, while denying the execution of any other programs. Additionally, it checks the hash values at runtime, thereby rejecting the execution of tampered programs. It uses standard features of the Linux kernel to detect program execution, so no additional libraries are required.

EMLinux is a Linux OS for IoT and embedded devices that achieves international safety standard-level security compliance and industrial-grade long-term use. It supports compliance with the international standard for industrial control system security, "IEC62443-4-2," and provides over 10 years of vulnerability support, making it suitable for products that are operated for long periods, such as industrial and medical devices. Additionally, by combining it with the ultra-fast boot solution LINEOWarp!! and comprehensive embedded Linux engineering services, flexible customization tailored to customer product needs is possible.

• Embedded OS

In recent years, the acceleration of boot time has become a significant challenge in embedded Linux systems, which are increasingly used in various scenarios and are expected to see growing demand in the future. Traditionally, embedded devices were developed using RTOS or Non-OS, but recently there has been a rising demand for rich features such as networking and graphics. On the other hand, when transitioning to Linux, it is often observed that boot times increase, becoming a challenge. Additionally, when using vendor-provided BPS that are generically made, it may not meet the target boot time, making software-level adjustments essential. In this webinar, we will mainly introduce relatively simple methods such as configuration changes, and then explain how boot time and costs compared to LINEOWarp!!.

It has become common for IoT devices to be developed using open-source software (OSS) such as Linux OS. On the other hand, cyber attacks on IoT devices connected to networks are increasing year by year, with over 25,000 vulnerabilities reported annually. In response to this threat, various countries have established security guidelines for IoT devices, requiring the creation of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for products and measures against vulnerabilities. In this webinar, we will introduce the trends in security responses in the world and the tool "Timesys Vigiles" for efficiently managing SBOM and vulnerabilities.

• Embedded OS

This is an introductory course on embedded Linux (abbreviated as Korerina Course) for developers who are considering using Linux but find it hard to grasp the concept even after reading books or browsing the web, or who want more technical information, and who are curious about how the OS they are currently working on differs from Linux, especially embedded Linux.

We will start with "What is Yocto in the first place?" to ensure that even beginners can comfortably participate and understand the basics before starting development using Yocto.

• Technical Seminar

In embedded Linux development, device driver development plays a significant role. When actually developing device drivers, a wide range of knowledge and development skills are required, including not only general Linux topics such as the management and control methods of the Linux kernel for CPU, memory, and I/O, and the structure of the source code, but also specific settings and development environment creation unique to embedded devices, in order to maximize the use of the CPU and peripheral devices. This course is aimed at device driver development engineers and will explain the "basics" of device driver development in embedded Linux. The "Practical" device driver development course is a two-day hands-on seminar. Based on the fundamental information about device drivers explained in the "Basic" course, participants will use the development environment and target board to experience the device driver development methods while actively engaging in hands-on activities. Those who have not yet taken the "Basic" course are encouraged to consider enrolling.

Linux is an important technology in cutting-edge fields that are currently major topics of discussion, such as AI, autonomous driving, and IoT. There is a growing interest in the Yocto Project as the necessary Linux for its development, and the adoption of Yocto BSP (Board Support Package) as a development environment is increasing. On the other hand, since Yocto BSP uses terms like "recipe," "layer," "Poky," and "BitBake," it is built on a different approach and system than before, making understanding and mastering it a challenge. To address this situation and support our customers' product development, we will hold an official practical course on the Yocto Project, integrating the knowledge and know-how gained from the Yocto-related development, support, and seminars that Lino has conducted so far. The course will consist of detailed explanations and exercises about BitBake and tools that are central to the Yocto Project. The exercises are designed to reflect actual development environments, and by progressing through them, participants can expect to overcome the difficulties and complexities of BitBake, leading to the realization that "BitBake is not scary."

The number of software vulnerabilities tends to increase year by year, and since they occur irregularly, it is not realistic for customers to monitor software vulnerabilities themselves. The vulnerability notification and patch information provision service reduces the "time" and "cost" required to maintain software security. ■ Vulnerability Notification Service We monitor vulnerability information for open source software used in your products and notify you when vulnerabilities are detected. ■ Patch Information Provision Service If vulnerabilities are detected through the vulnerability notification service, we provide information about security patches for those vulnerabilities along with the notification. To assess the extent of the impact of vulnerabilities on your products, we graphically display the impact (severity) of vulnerabilities by level, allowing for visibility into the status of vulnerability responses. Additionally, you can easily manage the application or non-application of security patches. The status of vulnerability patch applications for the open source software used in your products is displayed by package, and you can check the detailed information for each CVE.

1) Ultra-fast boot for embedded Linux/Android products 'LINEOWarp!!' By saving a snapshot image of the system memory and hardware state (register contents) while the application is running in a reserved snapshot area on storage media (Flash, eMMC, etc.), the system memory can be restored from the saved snapshot image upon power-on, achieving fast booting. 2) Remote embedded Linux development 'Remote Access EBF' There are several challenges in conducting embedded device development via telework, and many developers may be struggling with these issues. We will introduce the problems faced by Lino, a group of embedded Linux developers, during telework development, along with their solutions and services for efficient remote development. 3) Security measures for embedded Linux IoE devices 'Vigiles' As the number of embedded devices connected to networks increases, especially IoE devices, measures against vulnerabilities are essential. We will introduce information on vulnerabilities related to OSS used in Linux and services for addressing these vulnerabilities.

I have been using an RTOS until now, but I would like to try using Linux from now on. However, I am unsure if I can achieve the same level of real-time performance with Linux as I have with my previous system. I understand that there is a lot of information available on the internet, but some of it is outdated, and I am confused about which sources are reliable. This document summarizes the key points to help developers transition to Linux with confidence. In this book, we provide a detailed explanation of real-time performance in Linux.
