Open Source Safety Vehicle Control Operating System EasyXMen Announced

The open-source EasyXMen is the world's first large-scale, mass-produced safety vehicle control operating system project, developed by PwC's foundational software team, which has over 17 years of experience in automotive operating systems. It features a layered architecture design that decouples hardware, operating systems, and applications, effectively increasing software reusability while enhancing system maintainability and scalability. The system supports core vehicle control functions, including task management, communication, diagnostics, network management, calibration, and storage, and has achieved the highest safety certification, ISO 26262 ASIL D. All functions' source codes are fully open, providing toolchain installation packages, chip-based example projects, and accompanying technical documentation to simplify user experience. It meets the needs of various controllers across vehicle body, power, chassis, intelligent driving, and intelligent cockpit sectors. The safety vehicle control operating system is a core part of automotive systems, requiring high safety, reliability, and real-time performance. It encompasses a real-time operating system kernel, middleware, and associated design, configuration, and code generation tools. The EasyXMen project aims to address long development cycles, high costs, and fragmented ecosystems in operating system development for smart vehicles through open collaboration, accelerating technological innovation and supply chain security, and aiding automotive companies in achieving platformization and autonomy goals. As of June 15, 2025, 364 companies and 152 universities have joined the EasyXMen community, with a total of 13,189 downloads and clones, and 54,685 community visits.
