Embedded Linux Development

We provide strong support for your Linux system development, from porting to the latest SoCs, real-time implementation with Xenomai, security enhancement, to various device driver developments.

Linux Development Solutions

BSP Development and Linux Porting

For customers struggling to introduce Linux to the latest SoCs.

We support rapid development with optimal BSP development and porting, from U-Boot to the kernel. We develop a BSP (Board Support Package) compatible with the latest SoC/CPU boards. We provide one-stop service from U-Boot customization to kernel porting.

Real-time Implementation with Xenomai

For customers requiring strict real-time control in the microsecond range.

Xenomai maximizes the performance of FA equipment and measuring instruments. Xenomai achieves strict periodic processing in the microsecond range, which is difficult with standard Linux, and is ideal for systems that require strict real-time performance, such as FA equipment and measuring instruments.

Device Driver Development

For customers considering driver development for custom I/O devices.

We provide driver development tailored to your requirements.

Development Achievements & Examples

Porting Linux+Xenomai to an x86 CPU (Xeon) board

We used a UDD (userspace device driver) to enable PCI access on an RT task to other boards connected via CompactPCI.

Linux Integration with OpenAMP

For customers who want to combine real-time processing with advanced information processing.

OpenAMP enables seamless integration of Linux and an RTOS. On an SoC equipped with Cortex-A (Linux) and Cortex-M (RTOS), we implement inter-processor communication using OpenAMP to achieve both real-time processing and advanced information processing.

Porting to a Printer Controller

To support a customer’s diverse product configurations with a single common platform, we ported the OS to the platform board and developed drivers for the necessary I/O device group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is embedded Linux porting?

Embedded Linux porting is the process of customizing the kernel, bootloader, etc. to make Linux run on custom embedded hardware.

What are the benefits of real-time implementation with Xenomai?

Xenomai is a framework for achieving strict real-time performance in the microsecond range, which is difficult with standard Linux. It ensures high reliability and responsiveness in systems where processing delays are unacceptable, such as FA equipment and measuring instruments.
