Debian-based Solution

Major features of Debian-based StarlingX will include:

• Linux 5.10 Yocto-based kernel ( https://www.yoctoproject.org/ )

  The Yocto Project Kernel:

  • tracks stable kernel updates very closely; staying very current with the stable kernel,

  • provides a reliable implementation of the pre-empt-rt patchset (see: https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page), and

  • provides predictable and searchable CVE handling.

StarlingX will also leverage its existing relationships with the Yocto Project to enhance development, bug fixes and other activities in the Yocto Project kernel to drive StarlingX quality and feature content.

• Debian Bullseye (11.3)

  Debian is a well-established Linux Distribution supported by a large and mature open-source community.

• OSTree ( https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/stable/manual/introduction/ )

  OSTree provides for robust and efficient versioning, packaging and upgrading of Linux-based systems.

• An updated Installer to seamlessly adapt to Debian and OSTree

• Updated software patching and upgrades for Debian and OSTree.
