FOSS

Most parts of our software and documentation are open-source. We support the idea behind FOSS and actively contribute to projects such as Linux, U-Boot, Yocto/OE and others.

If you work with our hard- and software or with the documentation, we would like to encourage you to contribute by reporting issues or creating merge requests (see below).

Repositories

For an overview of groups and projects, please see this page on the GitLab server. You can also have a look at the GitLab Server Overview in the docs.

Reporting Issues

You can use the GitLab issue trackers for the specific projects to report any problems you encountered and you think should be known to KED engineers. Or send and e-mail to support@kontron-electronics.de with a detailed description of the issue.

Contributing code changes

If you have forked one of the KED repositories and you have implemented changes that might be relevant or helpful for others, please create a "merge request" (MR) via GitLab. We will review your changes and merge them if appropriate.

Upstreaming

We try to work with "mainline" components wherever feasible. We also try to upstream support for our boards and modules to Linux and U-Boot eventually. If you work with one of our boards, that is not yet available upstream and you are interested in upstream support, feel free to contact us at support@kontron-electronics.de for more information and how to work it out.
