Bootlin is happy to share that our engineer Luca Ceresoli will be speaking at Linux Day 2025 in Bergamo, Italy, on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
Luca’s talk, titled “Software updates on embedded Linux devices” (“Aggiornamenti software su dispositivi embedded Linux”), will take place from 14:00 to 15:00.
About the talk
Many of the electronic products we use every day are powered by Linux, even when we don’t see it. Like PCs, these embedded devices also need software updates to fix bugs and improve functionality. However, unlike PCs, they must perform these updates automatically and reliably, without any user intervention.
In his presentation, Luca will explain one of the most widely used techniques for achieving this: A/B updates. He will describe what they are, how they work, and the most common tools used to implement them in embedded Linux systems.
This talk is a great opportunity for developers and engineers interested in the practical challenges of maintaining and updating Linux-based devices in the field.
