Provider of embedded Linux and real-time operating systems, SYSGO, has announced released the latest generation of its industrial Linux platform, ELinOS 8, designed for mission-critical and embedded applications. It combines enhanced cybersecurity, supply chain transparency, regulatory compliance and hardware flexibility in a unified development environment for accelerated product development whilst meeting growing security and compliance requirements.
ELinOS 8 introduces several significant security enhancements for embedded and industrial deployments.
The ANSSI compliance verification test suite enables developers to evaluate system hardening according to recommendations from the French National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI – Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information). The integrated test suite validates system configurations against established hardening rules and provides detailed reporting, including hardening-level assessments and actionable security recommendations.
Then there are the GCC Fortification Level 3 enabled across ELinOS target packages, new audit support for RISC-V platforms, reproducible kernel and root filesystem builds for improved software integrity and verification, and build machine-independent timestamps with support for fixed build dates and times.
“ELinOS 8 is our most security-focused release to date,” said David Engraf, Head of Product Development at SYSGO. “With integrated SBOM generation, ANSSI hardening validation, reproducible builds, Linux 6.12 LTS, and support for more additional BSPs, we are helping customers address growing cybersecurity and compliance requirements while accelerating development. At the same time, ELinOS continues to simplify embedded Linux development through a unified toolset across Intel, ARM, and RISC-V platforms. This allows engineering teams to standardize processes, reduce complexity, and bring products to market faster.”
ELinOS 8 is based on the latest Linux 6.12 Long-Term Support (LTS) kernel, providing organizations with a stable platform backed by up to ten years of long-term maintenance and security updates. This enables product manufacturers to align operating system support with the long lifecycle requirements of industrial automation, transportation, aerospace, defence, medical, and critical infrastructure applications.
