Tackling Embedded Update Challenges at the D&E Event

This week, we had the opportunity to participate in the D&E Event organized by FHI (Federatie van Technologiebranches), held in ’s-Hertogenbosch. As the largest gathering in the Benelux focused on design automation and embedded systems, the event served as an ideal setting to engage with industry professionals and explore emerging trends in embedded development.

Our presentation addressed one of the most critical challenges currently facing the embedded systems community: how to safely and effectively update devices deployed in the field while maintaining version control and system integrity. Whether systems are based on Embedded Linux, bare metal, Zephyr, or FreeRTOS, it is clear that software is never truly complete. Updates, patches, and performance enhancements are part of the ongoing lifecycle of every device, making secure update mechanisms and system management essential components of modern embedded development.

During our session, we outlined our approach to enabling reliable remote updates for both Embedded Linux and bare metal systems. In addition, we emphasized the importance of maintaining an accurate overview of hardware variations across a product portfolio, as well as robust version tracking for deployed software. These capabilities are foundational to effective fleet management, allowing development teams to ensure consistency, reduce downtime, and respond swiftly to vulnerabilities or evolving customer needs.
