Embedded Linux with Yocto and Buildroot

Embedded Linux is a strong base for gateways, HMIs and connected products when the system image, boot flow, services and update strategy are controlled. Silicon LogiX supports Yocto, Buildroot and product-oriented Linux integration.

How we can help

System image

Rootfs, services, packages, startup flow and reproducible builds.

Hardware integration

Device tree, kernel modules, interfaces, storage and peripheral setup.

Updates

A/B partitioning, rollback, signing and field-safe deployment.

How we work

  1. Context and goals

    Review goals, constraints, existing code or hardware documentation.

  2. Architecture and plan

    Define risks, architecture choices and a practical execution plan.

  3. Development and verification

    Work iteratively on real targets, with measurable checkpoints.

  4. Delivery and support

    Deliver code, documentation and technical decisions that the team can maintain.

Linux systems built for the field

A product Linux image must boot reliably, expose only what is needed, update safely and remain maintainable across hardware and software changes.

  • Yocto or Buildroot image configuration, layers, packages and services.
  • BSP integration, device tree, bootloader, kernel configuration and drivers.
  • OTA with Mender, RAUC, SWUpdate or custom update flows.
  • Security hardening, boot time optimization and operational diagnostics.
Connectivity
Connectivity
Gateway logic, MQTT, APIs, local buffering and cloud or backend integration.

Frequently asked questions

Yocto or Buildroot?

Yocto is strong for complex product platforms and long-term maintenance; Buildroot is often faster and leaner for simpler images.

Can you improve boot time?

Yes. Boot time can be optimized by reviewing bootloader, kernel, services, storage and application startup.

Do you support OTA updates?

Yes. OTA strategy can be designed around rollback, signing, partitioning and operational safety.
