NexXora’s Linux service includes moving applications to Linux, developing Linux-native applications and adapting a Linux environment to product hardware. Board-support work addresses the lower-level configuration and hardware interfaces. A board support package, or BSP, is the software and configuration needed to run the operating system on a particular board.
Application porting. Review dependencies, build tools, device access and operating-system assumptions in the existing application. Plan the changes required for the Linux target, then compare behaviour and performance against the agreed acceptance criteria. Application migration does not automatically include a new board bring-up.
Board support and peripheral enablement. BSP work includes bootloader configuration, kernel configuration, device-tree changes and driver integration for the selected board. Confirm which vendor BSP can be used and which custom electronics require additional work before defining the release.
Build and product integration. Create a reproducible image and configuration for the agreed target. Discuss Yocto or Buildroot when a reproducible embedded Linux distribution is required. Define startup services, logging, storage behaviour and recovery requirements, and connect the software image to the hardware revision it supports.
Industrial gateway. Bring up a custom or revised board and integrate the serial, network and sensor interfaces needed for gateway applications.
Vision-enabled equipment. Prepare the Linux environment for camera capture and product software, with the required processing platform and peripheral support agreed in advance.
Agree source and patch delivery, build instructions, image configuration, supported board revision and test evidence. A useful handover states what boots, which peripherals were exercised and which issues remain open. Long-term kernel maintenance, security updates and production provisioning are separate scope decisions rather than automatic inclusions.
Provide schematics, processor details, memory and storage configuration, vendor reference material, existing BSP sources and access to target boards. Explain whether the need is application migration, BSP adaptation or both. Include boot-time, power-loss and field-recovery requirements when they affect the product.
