The 2026 membership cycle opens with three new working groups (Safety-Certified, Embedded AI Ethics, and Neural Interface Standards) and a refreshed governance charter with public TSC voting records.
EoSim 2.4 introduces a bidirectional hardware-in-the-loop bridge via the ezbus USB protocol. Drive simulated EoS images from a real PHY, or drive real boards from a simulated MMIO bus.
Three large RTOS research targets for 2026: a tickless scheduler targeting sub-microsecond wake latency, RT-IPC primitives sharing memory across security domains, and a formally verified context-switch path using TLA+ and Coq.
A research plan for configuration-specific acquisition, filtering, and decoding benchmarks, with no unverified channel, sample-rate, or latency result presented as achieved.
eDB's new storage layer adds page-level AES-XTS encryption with hardware-key offload on supported MCUs. The cipher fits in 6 KB of code on the smallest target.
An end-to-end tour of eBoot's chain of trust — root-of-trust keys, immutable stage 0, signed manifests, anti-rollback counters, and the runtime attestation hooks eAI consumes during model loading.
EAI's new quantized inference path squeezes a 1.3B-parameter model into 312 MB of flash and runs at interactive speed on a 480 MHz microcontroller. Block-streamed weight loading reduces peak SRAM by 94%.
The eos-platform 1.0 announcement describes stable APIs, a unified package manifest, and a reproducible-build goal across the supported board set.
