Embedded Linux & BSP Engineering

Custom Board Support Packages for Production Silicon

Move from evaluation boards and Raspberry Pi prototypes to rugged, custom carrier silicon. We architect minimal, deterministic Yocto and Buildroot Linux distributions tailored to your exact hardware schematics.

Why Generic Linux Distros Fail in Hardware

Off-the-shelf Linux images like Debian or Ubuntu Desktop introduce gigabytes of bloated packages, uncontrolled background daemons, sluggish boot times, and SD-card corruption risks. Production hardware demands a stripped-down, read-only root filesystem engineered strictly for your hardware interfaces.

  • Sub-Second Cold Boot Times: Optimized U-Boot configurations, quiet kernel flags, stripped initramfs, and custom `systemd`/`sysvinit` services for mission-critical instant-on devices.
  • Custom Device Tree (DTS) Pin-Muxing: Precise device tree overlays mapping GPIOs, I2C buses, SPI sensors, MIPI-CSI camera sensors, and PCIe peripherals to your custom PCB.
  • Read-Only Root Filesystems: OverlayFS combined with SquashFS or read-only ext4 partitions, preventing power-loss storage corruption in industrial fields.
  • Silicon Agility: Production expertise spanning NXP i.MX6/i.MX8/i.MX9, STMicroelectronics STM32MP1, Allwinner, Rockchip RK3588, and TI Sitara AM6x processors.
Core Offerings

Embedded Linux Services

Custom Yocto & Buildroot Layers

We construct maintainable, version-controlled meta-layers (`meta-custom`) with deterministic BitBake recipes, automated toolchains, and continuous CI/CD artifact building.

Hardware Bring-Up & Driver Development

From initial board power-on to full peripheral bring-up: custom Linux character drivers, V4L2 camera pipelines, Industrial I/O (IIO) sensor drivers, and CAN network interfaces.

Secure Boot & HSM Integration

Implement cryptographic hardware roots of trust: High Assurance Boot (HAB / AHAB on NXP), OP-TEE trusted execution environments, and LUKS eMMC encrypted partitions.

Engineering-Led Linux Pipeline

1. Hardware Schematic & Pin Multiplexing Scoping

We audit your Altium/KiCad hardware schematics before board tape-out, reviewing pin multiplexing conflicts, pull-up resistor requirements for I2C/SPI, clock tree configurations, and power rail sequencing in the device tree.

2. Deterministic Build Environment & Containerization

Eliminate "works on my machine" compiler drift. All Yocto Project builds are encapsulated in reproducible Docker containers integrated with GitLab/GitHub CI runners, producing cryptographically signed eMMC image artifacts on every merge.

3. Industrial Real-Time Kernel (PREEMPT_RT) Tuning

For robotics, motion control, and high-frequency data acquisition systems, we patch the mainline or vendor Linux kernel with PREEMPT_RT, isolating critical CPU cores for deterministic microsecond response cycles.
