KEOS (Kvaser Edge OS) is our purpose-built operating system for the Kvaser Edge platform, optimized for data acquisition, fleet management and edge analytics. It gives development and test teams a flexible and reliable foundation to run critical automotive and industrial applications directly at the edge, supported by robust cybersecurity features that ensure data integrity, secure communication, and system protection for evolving threats.
Flexible user environment
Run any Linux distribution seamlessly in a lightweight and flexible user environment.
Freedom of apps
Use your preferred applications to adapt to your needs and preferences.
Maximum security
Advanced security features to safeguard your data, apps and communication.
KEOS allows you to create your own user environment in a Linux (LXC) container with your preferred Linux distribution and your preferred applications, operating on top of the KEOS operating system. This means you get a secure and efficient setup that keeps workloads separated, without wasting unnecessary resources. This gives you maximized performance, simplified management and flexible system scaling.
Same environment on every device
A container image brings together everything you need to create a consistent and dependable user environment on multiple Kvaser Edge devices. Get started quickly with prebuilt images, or customize your own image with your preferred Linux distribution and your selected applications.
Safe and reliable over-the-air updates
Our system allows for reliable over-the-air updates, giving you consistent and dependable software updates across all your devices. With predictable and secure management at scale, it is possible to update entire fleets confidently – decreasing disruption and downtime.
Uninterrupted operations
If there is network downtime, your applications can continue to run. All the data is securely stored within KEOS and can be synced when connection is restored – giving you peace of mind.
Trusted security
KEOS includes advanced cybersecurity and encryption features to protect your applications, data and communications. It is protected against unauthorized access and meets the requirements of Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Radio Equipment Directive (RED).
Firmware protection
Built-in secure element technology in Kvaser Edge prevents unauthorized firmware installation, creating a tamper-resistant and trustworthy environment. This hardware-level protection establishes a strong foundation for future security enhancements.
Isolated LXC container
Your user environment in the LXC container is fully isolated, ensuring that applications run in a tightly protected environment seperated from the KEOS operation system. Everything in the container is encrypted, keeping sensitive information safe.
Locked-down architecture
There is no user access to KEOS by design. Authorized users can only interact with the dedicated LXC container running in a separate layer above KEOS. This strict lock-down eliminates hidden access paths and prevents unauthorized modification of KEOS – ensuring safe and predictable system behavior of Kvaser Edge.
Boost your work with software from Kvaser
