Open-source contributions

In addition to the design and development of the ERIKA Enterprise open-source RTOS, Evidence Srl has contributed to several open-source projects, including the Linux kernel, the Jailhouse hypervisor, ARM's LISA framework, U-Boot bootloader and SOEM EtherCAT stack.

Here is a list of the major contributions.

Linux kernel

Besides the implementation of the original proposal of the SCHED_DEADLINE scheduler, Evidence has made the following contributions:
