Regulatory compliance relies on whether a build environment can be reproduced reliably. Learn how containerizing an embedded toolchain generates the audit-ready evidence required by ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and IEC 62304 in order to keep a build reproducible for the entirety of a product’s lifespan.
Overview
If factors like compiler version, linker configuration, or analysis settings vary between a developer's laptop, a CI server, and a certification build years down the line, a safety case has a problem, not just an inconvenience. Certification bodies reviewing work against ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and IEC 62304 expect a traceable build environment, but configuration drift makes that traceability harder to defend with every passing year.
This webinar presents a practical, container-based approach to solving that problem. Instead of manually configuring toolchains on every developer machine, learn how to define an embedded build environment once and then package it as a reproducible image that runs identically across developer laptops, CI runners, and long-term maintenance builds.
This session draws on IAR's decades of embedded toolchain expertise to show how containerization generates the audit-ready evidence that certification actually requires, eliminates configuration drift across an entire development pipeline, and keeps a build reproducible even as host infrastructure and tooling evolve over the lifetime of a product.
Attendees will leave with ready-to-use container images and a step-by-step reference implementation that can be adapted to their own projects.
Key Takeaways
- Generate audit-ready traceability evidence for ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and IEC 62304 directly from a build environment
- Eliminate configuration drift across developer machines, CI runners, and production build servers
- Preserve build reproducibility for the full product lifecycle, even as host infrastructure changes years later
- Adapt ready-to-use container images and a reference implementation to one’s own project
