System architecture & system porting

Custom Linux distributions, robust system architectures, and porting to new hardware.

Designing a custom Linux stack is the foundation of a successful IIoT product. We ensure your system is lean, secure, and easy to maintain over a 10-year lifecycle.

The challenge: building a foundation that lasts

Many industrial projects struggle with “Frankenstein” Linux distributions—systems built by cobbling together vendor BSPs, manual hacks, and unversioned binaries. This leads to:

  • Maintenance Debt: Updates become impossible without breaking the system.
  • Security Risks: Bloated distributions with unnecessary, vulnerable packages.
  • Hardware Lock-in: Hard-coded dependencies that make porting to a new SOC a multi-month ordeal.

Our solution: clean, declarative architecture

We build your Linux stack from the ground up using industry-standard build systems like Yocto Project or Custom Debian. Our approach ensures that every single bit on your flash is accounted for.

  • Custom BSP Development: Tailored board support packages for your specific hardware.
  • RTOS to Linux Migration: Safe transition from legacy or bare-metal environments to a modern Linux stack.
  • Layer Optimization: We refactor “tribal knowledge” into clean, versioned Yocto layers that any engineer can build.

Our proposal: from porting to production

We don’t just “make it boot.” We deliver a production-ready software factory.

  1. Discovery & Audit: We analyze your current hardware and software requirements.
  2. Architecture Design: We define the partitioning, bootloader strategy, and build system.
  3. Core Implementation: We deliver the initial BSP and core OS layers.
  4. Transfer & Documentation: Your team receives a fully reproducible build environment and the training to use it.
