ATLANTA, GEORGIA / NUREMBERG, GERMANY — AMI, a global leader in dynamic firmware for modern computing, is pleased to announce an upcoming joint demonstration with ADLINK and Linaro at Embedded World 2026, which takes place from March 10–12 in Nuremberg, Germany. This three‑way demo will highlight how AMI Meridian™ streamlines boot firmware (BIOS) selection, build, test, compliance and lifecycle management for the embedded market, powered by both AMI’s flagship Aptio® V UEFI Firmware and Linaro’s ONEBoot open‑source embedded firmware and running on the OSM-IMX93 module from ADLINK.
A Unified Demo for the Embedded Ecosystem
The demonstration brings together core capabilities from AMI, ADLINK, and Linaro to present AMI Meridian’s ability to select and manage BIOS packages while supporting both Aptio V UEFI BIOS and Linaro ONEBoot for Arm®. It will dynamically display BIOS building, booting and automated testing through AMI Meridian, along with real‑time visibility into AMI’s Vulnerability Management System (VMS), Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), and CRA (Cyber Resilience Act) compliance dashboards. This complete and unified solution integrates CRA compliance monitoring and provides VMS and SBOM insights for the target embedded board.
The demonstration features a live build-to-boot workflow using AMI Meridian with AI-enhanced testing, with Windows® 11 IoT booting from Aptio V UEFI firmware and Yocto™ Linux booting from Linaro ONEBoot firmware to highlight its flexibility to build either an Aptio V (ACPI) or ONEBoot (Device Tree) BIOS for the same board – underscoring openness and eliminating vendor lock-in.
A special focus will shine on AMI Meridian as the unified management, security, and lifecycle platform for embedded BIOS development. This demonstration will also serve as a point of introduction to ONEBoot from Linaro: the first open source, CRA compliant embedded BIOS firmware powered by AMI Meridian. Attendees will see how AMI’s AI enhanced workflows support both current firmware needs through ONEBoot and future requirements with Aptio V, illuminating a seamless path across evolving architectures. Together, these core features highlight the importance of compliance, transparency, and interoperability across the embedded ecosystem, reinforcing how the partnership enables a more open, secure, and future-ready firmware landscape.
AMI and Linaro are working together to address emerging firmware challenges – particularly the growing demands around regulatory compliance and security – by delivering integrated, next‑generation solutions built for transparency and resilience. Linaro selected AMI Meridian to power ONEBoot because of AMI’s deep expertise in security, AI‑driven automation, and its comprehensive VMS and SBOM capabilities which provide a modern foundation for managing embedded firmware at scale. Through this collaboration and its broader platform strategy, AMI is helping guide the embedded industry’s transition by supporting both legacy and next‑generation firmware workflows, giving developers the flexibility to build precisely what they need with a vendor-agnostic approach.
“As embedded systems evolve and regulatory requirements become more stringent, customers need firmware platforms that are secure, adaptable and built for the future. With AMI Meridian, we’re delivering a unified, AI‑enhanced lifecycle platform that simplifies complexity while raising the bar on transparency and compliance. Our collaboration with ADLINK and Linaro demonstrates how openness and innovation can accelerate progress across the entire embedded ecosystem.”
– Stefano Righi, Senior Vice President, AMI
“ADLINK is committed to enabling next generation embedded computing through open standards by modularization of both hardware and software solutions. This joint demonstration proves how AMI Meridian seamlessly supports management and maintenance of advanced firmware like Aptio V and ONEBoot. Both firmware solutions, for the first time, support off-the-shelf OS distributions on this level of product. Built on ADLINK’s OSM-IMX93 computer-on-module, this collaboration with AMI and Linaro delivers greater flexibility and control to customers, while helping them meet escalating security and compliance demands.”
– Henk van Bremen, VP Technology & Development, ADLINK
“ONEBoot represents a major milestone for the embedded industry, delivering a firmware solution that is fully open-source, SystemReady DT certified, and EU-CRA compliant. By integrating with AMI Meridian’s robust automation and security lifecycle management, we are empowering developers to continuously meet rigorous regulatory standards with ease. This collaboration between Linaro, AMI and ADLINK demonstrates how we are building and maintaining firmware across a wide range of devices for both Linux and Windows on Arm.”
– Anmar Oueja, Head of Products, Linaro
AMI, ADLINK and Linaro warmly welcome visitors to Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg to explore this collaborative demonstration at AMI Booth 5‑243, Linaro Booth 4‑501 and ADLINK Booth 3‑147.
