Bootlin at Open Source Summit Europe 2026 and Linux Plumbers 2026

PragueFrom October 5 to October 9 this year, Prague will be the place to be for the open-source community, and especially for embedded open-source developers. The Open Source Summit Europe will take place there from October 7 to 9, while Linux Plumbers Conference will run from October 5 to 7. Numerous co-located events are also being organized around these two major conferences.

Bootlin will once again have a strong presence in Prague, both in terms of attendance and technical presentations.

Bootlin contributions to Linux Plumbers conference: slides and videos

Luca Ceresoli and Hervé Codina speaking at Linux Plumbers conference 2024After the participation of 13 Bootlin engineers to Open Source Summit 2024, no less then 8 Bootlin engineers attended the Linux Plumbers Conference that took place right after Open Source Summit Europe in Vienna.

In addition to participating, we contributed 3 talks/discussions (Linux Plumbers is primarily designed to host discussions, not pure talks): Representing the front-facing ports of Ethernet interfaces, Hotplug DRM pipeline components on non-discoverable video busses and Runtime hotplug on non-discoverable busses with device tree overlays.

In this blog post, we’re happy to share the slides and videos of those talks.

Bootlin topics at Linux Plumbers conference in Vienna, Sep 18-20

Linux Plumbers conference 2024Next week is going to be a busy week in Vienna, with the Open Source Summit Europe followed by the Linux Plumbers conference. As we had already published in a previous blog post, Bootlin will have a very strong presence at those events: 13 Bootlin engineers will participate to the Open Source Summit and 2 will give talks, and 8 Bootlin engineers will participate to Linux Plumbers.

Regarding Linux Plumbers, we also proposed 3 discussion topics that got accepted:

  • Representing the front-facing ports of Ethernet interfaces, a discussion proposed by Bootlin engineer Maxime Chevallier. This is a topic that Maxime has been working on for quite some time, mainly as part of customer projects at Bootlin. The first step of this effort recently got merged in the Linux kernel, and the ethtool part is being reviewed, but what got merged is only the first step, and additional developments are needed and will be discussed at Plumbers.
  • Runtime hotplug on non-discoverable busses with device tree overlays, a discussion proposed by Bootlin engineers Luca Ceresoli and Hervé Codina. Both Luca and Hervé have been working over the past year or so on projects that involve using Device Tree overlays. Luca on a project where a part of the hardware, with non-discoverable busses (I2C, DSI, etc.) is connected/disconnected at runtime, and Hervé on a project where a PCI device is a full SoC with numerous peripherals that already have drivers in the kernel. Several patch series have been proposed on the mailing lists already, and we hope this discussion at Plumbers will help move the topic forward.
  • Hotplug DRM pipeline components on non-discoverable video busses, a discussion proposed by Bootlin engineer Luca Ceresoli is also related to the previous project, but this discussion focuses on the DRM aspect. Indeed, one of the non-discoverable bus that gets connected/disconnected in our use-case is DSI, so we need to make it hotpluggable, which isn’t supported by Linux currently. We made some proposals on the mailing lists on this topic, and discussion is on-going. We hope a face to face discussion at Plumbers can help moving this other topic forward.

Meet us next week in Vienna, either at the Open Source Summit and/or at Linux Plumbers!

Bootlin at the Linux Plumbers 2017 conference

The Linux Plumbers conference has established itself as a major conference in the Linux ecosystem, discussing numerous aspects of the low-level layers of the Linux software stack. Linux Plumbers is organized around a number of micro-conferences, plus a number of more regular talks.

Linux Plumbers 2017

Bootlin already participated to several previous editions of Linux Plumbers, and will again participate to this year’s edition that takes place in Los Angeles on September 13-15. Bootlin engineers Boris Brezillon, Alexandre Belloni, Grégory Clement and Thomas Petazzoni will attend the conference.

If you’re attending this conference, or are located in the Los Angeles area, and want to meet us, do not hesitate to drop us a line at info@bootlin.com. You can also follow Bootlin Twitter feed for updates during the conference.
