SUSE/OpenSUSE: Elektrobit and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

Elektrobit (EB), a visionary global supplier of embedded and connected software products for the automotive industry, today announced an expansion of its collaboration with SUSE, the multinational, open source software company, to provide car makers and Tier 1 suppliers in China with automotive-grade Linux. EB corbos Linux is an operating system for high-performance CPUs providing a basis for the latest AUTOSAR standard and will enable car makers to accelerate the development of cutting-edge software for next-gen E/E architecture.

The automotive industry, one of the fastest-changing industries in the world, gathers a lot of attention these days – cars have come a long way from being just a means of transportation. Today we talk not only about a high-speed, comfortable ride, precise navigation system, infotainment and roadside assistance, but we expect our cars to be smart and truly connected vehicles. We have come to expect a range of on-demand services (tailored to our preferences), advanced infotainment and computer-guided driving assistance to be available in our cars. Such evolution is possible only with rapid adoption and integration of advanced software that turns cars into extensions of our work or living space.

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Tumbleweed is in full swing – with a staggering 6 snapshots published since the last weekly review. And this, despite me having to discard 2 snapshots (one for being totally broken, and one was discarded because it took too long to test). The six snapshots published were 0415, 0416, 0417, 0418, 0420, and 0422.

This was quite a list of things happening, and the python 3.9 module introduction definitively took a while to enusre we don’t just trip over our own feet.
