A Linux system built for your board — small, secure and updatable
When a microcontroller is not enough, we build the complete embedded Linux system: bootloader, kernel, drivers, root filesystem, applications and field updates.

Embedded Linux, done properly
Custom Linux images
Minimal, reproducible images built with Yocto or Buildroot — only what your product needs, nothing it doesn't.
Board bring-up & BSP
U-Boot, device tree and kernel configuration for your custom board or system-on-module.
Kernel drivers
Drivers for your sensors, displays and peripherals, written to work with standard Linux interfaces.
Security & updates
Secure boot, read-only root filesystems and A/B over-the-air updates that survive power loss.
Applications & UI
System services, gateways and on-device user interfaces with Qt or a local web UI.
Boot time & performance
Faster boot, lower memory use and stable long-running operation.
A clear process, with check-ins at every step
- 1
Platform choice
We help pick the SoC or module and the build system.
- 2
Bring-up
Bootloader, kernel and device tree running on your board.
- 3
System build
Root filesystem, services, drivers and applications.
- 4
Hardening
Security, updates, logging and recovery.
- 5
Handover
Build system, images and documentation for your team.
What you get at the end
- Reproducible build setup (layers / configs)
- Bootloader, kernel and root filesystem images
- Device tree and driver sources
- OTA update mechanism
- Flashing and recovery procedure
- Developer documentation

Questions about embedded linux
Should my product use Linux or a microcontroller?+
It depends on the user interface, networking, processing and power needs. We'll give you an honest recommendation, including cost, before you commit.
Can you move our prototype from Raspberry Pi to a production board?+
Yes. We help choose a production-grade module or SoC, design the carrier board and port your software to a proper production image.
How do updates work in the field?+
We typically use an A/B partition scheme: the new image is installed alongside the old one and the device rolls back automatically if it fails to boot.
