Over the past decade, the Xen community has worked tirelessly to develop key features that now form a top-tier automotive solution. Xen's most important role remains that of an enforcer, ensuring strict isolation between domains so that the execution of one domain remains unaffected by others. As one of the system's most critical components, Xen is well suited for the highest levels of safety certification.

Since 2023, AMD, in collaboration with the Xen community, has been working to make Xen safety-certifiable according to the ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 safety standards. A major milestone was achieved in Q4 2024 when we obtained Safety Concept Approval from the safety assessors. They reviewed Xen and our safety plans and confirmed compliance with the relevant standards. This is a critical milestone on the road to Xen safety, demonstrating that Xen can be safety-certified.

This presentation will provide detailed insights into the Safety Concept, the activities involved in its development, and the review process. Additionally, it will offer an in-depth update on our journey toward achieving Xen safety certification.
