The Civil Infrastructure Platform has marked its 10th anniversary, a milestone that reflects a decade of work on long-term Linux support for critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Created by companies in railways, electric power and factory automation, the Linux Foundation-hosted project was established to build and maintain an open source software base for systems that often remain in service for many years and cannot be updated easily. Its work includes Super Long Term Support, or SLTS, a core software layer called CIP Core, and testing designed to support stable deployments.<\/p>\n

CIP is focused on sectors where software failures can have serious operational consequences, including energy networks, manufacturing systems, transport infrastructure and medical equipment. Those environments are also under pressure from tighter software assurance and supply chain rules, including the European Cyber Resilience Act.<\/p>\n

That has increased interest in software that can be maintained over long periods without requiring each operator to build its own stack. CIP aims to reduce the cost and complexity of meeting safety and security requirements by providing a maintained base layer built around the Linux kernel and commonly used core packages.<\/p>\n

Members backing the project include Renesas Electronics, Siemens, Toshiba, Texas Instruments, Aronetics, CyberTrust, Hitachi and MOXA. The initiative also works with other open source projects and developer communities involved in long-term maintenance, testing and software verification.<\/p>\n

Urs Gleim, CIP Governing Board Chair and Head of Central Research and Development at Siemens, said the project had grown from an uncertain idea into a widely used part of industrial computing.<\/p>\n

“Ten years ago, when we declared we would support critical infrastructure with open source, many were skeptical about its continuity. But today, CIP has become an indispensable foundation supporting railways and power grids worldwide, achieving against that ambitious…<\/p>\n
