Automotive Grade Linux All Member Meeting Summer 2025

Every time someone says “Linux can’t be made MISRA‑compliant,” chances are some misconceptions are at play about the nature, the objectives and the practice of the MISRA coding standards. This session shares a work‑in‑progress recipe for achieving meaningful, scoped MISRA coverage on selected kernel builds—enough to pass rigorous safety audits without carving the heart out of the code. We’ll show how lessons from our MISRA‑hardened Xen hypervisor are flowing upstream: pragmatic rule‑tailoring that fits open‑source culture, static‑analysis pipelines wired into Kconfig, and a yellow‑flag review lane that turns everyday patches into audit‑ready artifacts. You won’t leave with a magically compliant mainline, but you will see a practical roadmap for shipping Linux‑powered ECUs that ace the clipboard test. Come for the myth‑busting, stay for the war stories, steal the actionable checklist, and join the next sprint—because this mission is tough, but it’s definitely not impossible.
