Embedded Linux Development
Embedded Linux Development
We provide embedded Linux development services for electronic products requiring high performance, connectivity, advanced user interfaces, and long-term software maintainability. Our engineers support the full embedded Linux stack, from board bring-up through to production-ready applications and graphical user interfaces.
Additionally, where appropriate, we build custom Linux distributions using the Yocto framework, giving clients control over performance, security, update strategy, long-term support and licensing compliance. This approach ensures that products remain secure and maintainable throughout their lifecycle, while also reducing dependency on third-party vendors. Consequently, our clients benefit from greater flexibility and reduced long-term costs as their products evolve.
Linux Platform Development
We have experience across all key aspects of embedded Linux system development, including:
- Board bring-up and hardware abstraction
- Custom Linux distribution creation
- Kernel configuration and optimisation
- Device tree development and maintenance
- Bootloader configuration and integration
- Performance, boot-time, and resource optimisation
- Writing and maintaining Linux device drivers
- BSP development and long-term maintenance
Yocto-Based Distribution Development
Where a standard distribution is not suitable, we can develop a custom Yocto-based Linux build, providing:
- Custom layers and recipes
- Controlled package selection and dependency management
- Reproducible builds for manufacturing and service
- Secure configuration and update support
- Long-term version control and traceability
Application & Middleware Development
On top of the Linux platform, we develop application software tailored to product requirements, including:
- C and C++ for performance-critical and system-level applications
- Python for rapid development, scripting, and system integration
- Rich and intuitive GUI development
- Middleware and service-layer development
- Inter-process communication and system control
- Logging, diagnostics, and update mechanisms
