Embedded Linux consulting for custom BSP, Yocto and real-time systems

Building and maintaining embedded Linux solutions requires more than just code—it demands a reproducible, community-friendly workflow and precise performance tuning. With over 15 years in low-level driver and BSP development across ARM, m68k, PowerPC and x86, I deliver:

  • Custom, reproducible builds using Yocto Project or Buildroot

  • Upstream contributions to minimize your long-term maintenance

  • Profiling & tuning for maximum throughput and hard real-time deadlines

Whether you’re starting a new board bring-up or chasing down that last microsecond of latency, let’s work together.

BSP Development with Yocto & Buildroot

Why a Custom BSP Matters

Unlike general-purpose distributions, a tailored Board Support Package contains only what your hardware needs—nothing more, nothing less. This leads to:

  • Smaller images and faster boots

  • Predictable security updates via long-term supported kernels

  • Clear control over drivers, kernel config and device-trees

My Approach

  • Yocto Project & Kas integration
    Simplify complex multi-layer builds with Kas YAML configs, mirroring the workflow you know from your custom distributions.

  • Buildroot for rapid proof-of-concept
    When turnaround is critical, Buildroot’s single makefile interface can bootstrap your BSP in minutes.

  • Upstreaming & kernel contributions
    I manage patches, device-tree bindings and driver code submitted upstream—so you benefit from community-tested kernels.

  • Validation & regression testing
    Automated test suites, CI integration and hardware-in-the-loop checks ensure each release boots reliably on every board revision.

Getting Started

Whether it’s your first Yocto build or you’re optimizing a legacy BSP, I’m here to guide every step:

  1. Initial consultation to define scope and deliverables

  2. Proof-of-concept to validate approach on your hardware

  3. Full implementation with documentation and training

  4. Ongoing support via upstream patches and performance audits
