Key initiatives include:
OpenHW Foundation and Eclipse ThreadX:
Open source embedded innovation spanning silicon, processor architectures, and real-time operating systems.
AI-Enabled Development Tools:
Trusted open source development tools, IDEs, and extensible platforms that support modern embedded software development.
Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV):
Open collaboration to drive next-generation software architectures in the automotive industry.
Open Regulatory Compliance (ORC):
A community-driven initiative promoting practical approaches to preparing for the Cyber ​​Resilience Act and other evolving regulatory requirements.

Codethink's Trust Evidence initiative will showcase practical approaches to ensuring software reliability and security in mission-critical systems.
“Embedded systems don't just need working code; they need software that can be proven,” said John Ellis, president and chief product officer of Codethink. “Open collaboration and transparent workflows enable teams to deliver not just functionality, but also evidence: provenance, repeatability, and security that lasts for years, not just release cycles.”

The Eclipse Foundation will publish the 2025 IoT and Embedded Systems Developers Report.
Developed
in collaboration with the Eclipse IoT Working Group, Sparkplug Working Group, Oniro Working Group, the Eclipse ThreadX project, the Software Defined Vehicle initiative, and the OpenHW Foundation, the report provides data-driven insights into the trends and technologies shaping the global development of IoT and embedded systems.

This year's results analyze:
The increasingly complex regulatory environment;
Supply chain disruptions and their impact on product development;
The technological preferences of developers and engineers;
The growing role of open source in facilitating security, regulatory compliance, and digital sovereignty
