Space Grade Linux, Yocto, and Embedded Linux in Orbit With Tim Bird

About this episode

Tim Bird discusses the integration of embedded Linux in spacecraft and related technologies.

Tim Bird of Sony joins us on Space Grade Linux (SGL) — the ELISA-incubated project bringing embedded Linux to spacecraft. We cover the meta-sgl Yocto layer, fault-tolerant file systems, QEMU radiation simulation, fleet OTA updates, and how Linux already dominates on-orbit compute via Starlink.
