Using KAS makes handling Yocto Projects easy. By shipping its own container with all needed dependencies, building sophisticated CI pipelines becomes pretty easy - in theory, or when using Gitlab.
But using GitHub as a code hosting platform with self-managed Action runners on AWS comes with a set of unexpected challenges.
Anna-Lena will talk about her quest through GitHub Actions, the Cloud and how to tame them.
The talk aims to point the audience to the obstacles when building CI pipelines for the Yocto Project with KAS, GitHub Actions, and custom action runners on AWS and strategies to handle them.

Over-the-air updates have established themselves as the standard for networked devices, but the effort involved in operating the server side is not always commensurate with the benefits. In such cases, the supposedly simple and quick solution of implementing updates via USB is often chosen. But is it really always that uncomplicated? What considerations are necessary to implement USB updates effectively?
This presentation provides an insight into the challenges of USB updates and presents solutions and practical tips for successful implementation. Find out which aspects need to be considered in order to optimize USB updates and ensure a smooth process

Android, or the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), is primarily known from the smartphone market. What is less well known, however, is that the AOSP also provides a good basis for embedded systems and ensures a pleasant reading experience on eReaders, for example.
Google is now increasingly pushing into the automotive sector with Android Automotive. But what exactly is Android Automotive or the Android Automotive Operating System (AAOS)? How does it differ from Android or the AOSP? And what are the advantages over classic operating systems for infotainment?

Together with my colleague Stefan Lengfeld.
Tracing is a capable mechanism for deep system analysis and profiling with a minimal overhead. By recording defined system events, in Linux but also Android, tracing can be used to analyze concurrency or latency issues, for example. Android’s systrace tool made it easy to analyze and correlate traces and events due to a graphical UI, in order to help developers identify performance bottlenecks. The successor to this advanced and convenient tool is called Perfetto. It’s available for pure Linux too, and part of Yocto (meta-oe) since Langdale now. In the talk, we’ll have a look into
